David Carriere is a genius savant song-writer and a lunatic that lives down the block from me. I want to write about his entire body of music, which everyone should check out (the Silly Kissers discography can be downloaded for free off the Arbutus Records website - so is Paula's Relaxed Fit), but this is some newer material from his solo project...

There have been few people who have been as formative to my understanding of what live music should feel like as Tim Lafontaine, aka Cop Car Bonfire aka the coolest live show in Montreal. It's really hard to translate this music into recordings, but Tim busks noise music for a living and i really don't think it gets much better than that...

Doldrums has been many things to me; lover, friend, inspiration, internet pioneer, all around genius, and permanent teenager. I don't think I've ever seen a human being who exudes more raw energy.

Two things of note - It takes a lot to make me like music that isn't electronic, and there are a bunch of geniuses coming out of Halifax (I have to shout out d'Eon and Matt Samways - who runs Electric Voices), but perhaps lesser known is Fascism which is Denis and Jennica, and I don't know either of their last names for some reason...

video: Indiensoci :: “Besnard”
Seeing this song live and acoustic in someone's bedroom is one of the single most beautiful musical performances I've ever witnessed, but the recording is pretty heartbreaking too. Raf from Braids and Blue Hawaii occasionally writes music for herself and calls it indiensoci, should definitely be checked out...
