21 days?! Whoa! Sorry folks! I've been making sure I catch the last glimpse of summer before it runs away from the fall. I've been doing that by dwelling in my basement writing music and making artwork. Haha. Down in the shadows. Now let's listen to some new music!


Ron Sexsmith - Streaming music on CBC Radio

http://music.cbc.ca/#/artists/Ron-Sexsmith

For some reason it took me years to finally sit down and give a good listen to Ron Sexsmith. Maybe I didn't get it before, or maybe I was being stubborn and intentionally avoiding it. Either way it's been my loss. I find his songs to be old and new at the same time. Familiar chord progressions with unfamiliar melodies. Give the CBC playlist a listen and find out for yourself!

Top Tracks: Cheap Hotel, Never Been Done, Just My Heart Talkin'

 I actually met Ron Sexsmith at a Fucked Up show a couple of years ago (Halloween night). He was with two women who were dressed up like him. Creepy AND awesome.




Dine Alone Summer Sampler - Free Download

I've been listening to songs from this sampler a ton lately. All of the songs are good, but not all great. I've put a list of my favourite tracks below. You can stream the entire album and download it through the link below. It's almost fall but I think these tracks will suit it perfectly.
