leeroy

Jeeze, I must have 3 or 4 Leeroy Stagger records on my laptop at home. I was weirdly listening to a few select cuts last week….maybe the gremlins that hunt my psychometrics sent the results to Facebook, because there’s Leeroy in my feed amped that he has signed to a new label and has a brand new song to share!

Stagger’s 11th record is called Love Versus and is out in April on new label True North.

The new song is called “I Want It All.” Sounds like a celebration of the indie rocker life.

The new one is on Spotify and I am not sure how to embed those songs on this blog….and I don’t think the music aggregators that follow this blog recognize those streams? Like Hype Machine? Maybe it does… I dunno. I like Soundcloud or Bandcamp for this blog. He has older music on Bandcamp so you get “Little Black Book” from 2004’s Dear Love.

What I wanted to share was “Just in Case” or “Slowly Sinking!” Vintage Victoria era Leeroy Stagger.

Tour dates:

03/17 Panorama, BC – Panorama Ski Resort
03/18 Panorama, BC – Panorama Ski Resort
03/24 Edmonton, AB – St. Basil’s Cultural Centre
03/25 Camrose, AB – The Bailey Theatre
03/26 Canmore, AB – Tavern 1883
04/19 Nanaimo, BC – The Queens
04/20 Cumberland, BC – The Waverly Hotel
04/21 Victoria, BC – Sugar Nightclub
04/22 Vancouver, BC – Commodore Ballroom

japandroidsthcover

I fucked up when I ordered my Japandroids LP. I was so excited when it was announced, I went right to Polyvinyl and ordered the record. There it was!

THEN I noticed, wait, they’re on ANTI now and ANTI sends you a bonus 7-inch of the single/title track with the b-side cover of the Talking Heads “Love → Building on Fire.”

Fuck me. I can’t find JUST the 7-inch on sale anywhere. Anyways, that’s my first world problem today.

Japandroids are on tour. Here’s the Canadian dates.

02/17 – Toronto, ON @ Danforth Theatre
02/18 – Toronto, ON @ Danforth Theatre
03/20 – Vancouver, BC @ Commodore Ballroom

cafe_de_flore_2007

I woke up this morning and got my daughter off to school. My son was playing with his toys and I flicked on the TV. One of the movie channels was show this 2011 Canadian film called Cafe de Flore.

It was a pretty cool movie about two seemingly unrelated story. A Montreal DJ separated from his wife while pursuing a new relationship with a woman named Rose. Whole the movie also followed the story of Jacqueline. a single mother in 1960s Paris.

Neat movie. I loved the music. There is a song that the DJ Antoine likes that his kids make fun of. It is a sigur rós called “Svefn-G-Englar.”

It was the Icelandic groups first single. It’s a beautiful song…. the lyrics are wonderful and strange.

***

There is a music anachronism in the movie. There is a records that connects the 1960s Paris to the modern day Montreal. An album that features music by Matthew Herbert and more specifically a song called “Cafe de Flore” (hense the title of the movie).

Laurent is obsessed with the song and often has his mother Jacqueline play it for him. The song eventually makes him think of Vero (his school crush). The song is not a 60s jigle, but rather a song from Herbert’s musical project Doctor Rockit and off his 2000 record, Indoor Fireworks.

In the modern times you see Antoine messing about with the record and having a connection with it.

Eli from Two Friends reached out to the blog to share his production team’s songs.

This “Pacific Coast Highway” song is bright and fun. Hey I took a road trip on that highway once with my wife Coral and our daughter. Awww, fun times. Nostalgia.

Here is their newest song. Born new to the world today!

ohhh jeezus are you kidding me? A remix of Tove Lo’s “Cool Girl?” I love that song.

And being a modern rock radio DJ for the last …bunch of years….I know and love The Killers.

crockett

Charley Crockett loves in Austin, Texas and jams out that modern vintage sounding old school R&B.

I was watching this Wired video on a vinyl pressing robot and loved the sound of the record they use off the top.

Quick Shazam, internet search, and here we are.

That’s a cool record. My wife and I sometimes talk about opening up a little bar. My bar will be like how this record sounds.

or maybe it’ll be like Led Zeppelin into a Tesla song. Still working on it.

snakehips

LA producer Gryffin rarely misses the mark with his remixes, and his new official remix of Snakehips & Mo jammer “Don’t Leave” is no exception.

the PR describes it: For his “Don’t Leave” remix, the dance wizard structures a powerful yet dynamic arrangement around MØ’s impassioned verses to amplify the raw emotion in her voice before introducing a reimagined drop of clamoring tech-inspired synths and pumping bass.

Finally hung the punching bag up in the garage of my parents place. I’ve dragging my daughter down to the “Coquitlam Fight Club” to smash out a few on the heavy.

My training for Beer Wars 2 has been delayed. I went on a little holiday for week one, then been sick the past couple. But feeling better and getting excited to throw some punches.

eighty-ninety

It’s been awhile since we’ve hit play on a song from Eighty Ninety.

The boys from New York that bang out delicate chill indie on “808s and telecasters” put out a ep last fall called Elizabeth. The 3 songer features the MAS blogged “Three Thirty,” plus the “Heart Breaker” and “Fading.”

They recorded a short live concert video where they show off the ep.

The music sounds pretty slick on the Spotify, but I prefer sharing this concert video as it adds little more depth to their modern lite-rock sound. Plus you’ll see those telecasters and 808s in action AND live drums.

We had a DUMP of snow in Vancouver on the weekend. We’re expecting some more today before it finally starts to warm back up. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers.
