A Real Estate 40 min Jam

There is not much information out there for these guys, just what is posted on Wikipedia.

Real Estate have roots in the Garden State and they’re led by singer/guitarist Martin Courtney and feature guitarist Matthew Mondanile (the latter known to some for his work in Ducktails, Predator Vision, and The Parasails) as well as Alex Bleeker on bass and Etienne Duguay (also of Predator Vision) on the drums.

I really love listening to these guys when I'm doing some homework, or just hanging around the house. It's a super relaxing 40 min jam session. Nice!

Yukon Blonde

It’s been a long, long time I know – A while ago I promised that I would let you know about something I found that I was really enjoying, so here it is.

I’ve really been enjoying Yukon Blonde’s self titled debut album. The album is a very straight-forward rock album with a 60s vibe. The guitar riffs are not crazy and “flashy”, but rather have a crisp, tight, modest sound. This, accompanied by the great voice of Jeff Innes, and the solid base playing makes it a great album to leave on repeat.

The band is from Kelowna, BC and have been around since 2005. Yukon Blonde, formerly known as Alphababy, consists of Jeff Innes, Brandon Scott, Adam Newton, and Graham Jones and is touring part of Canada and the US. However, Winnipeg got shafted.

Something new

I know it's been a long time since I posted an actual review - really long time.
I'm working on a couple of reviews, but schoolwork has my hands tied. Really!

For now here is some really great electro-pop that you can listen to. I'm really looking forward to listening to the new Lali Puna- I know, not the best name.

It's one of my favourite elecro-pop groups, even though I haven't really known about them for that long. It's the kind of electronic music that enjoy: mellow, melodic, and a bit melancholy. The band is from Weilheim, Germany and have one member of the very popular The Notwist- that's how I found out about Lali. If you haven't checked them out, it worth a shot. My guess is that if you still check my blog, you generally like what I post. So here is another sample.



The new album is called Our Inventions and is being released some time in April 2010. It's been about five years sine they released Faking the Books.

P.S. Keep checking back, I'll try to get these two reviews finished within the next week. Trust me, you'll like what I found.
