Gold maple leaf on pavement

Canadian Gold

July 1, 2013 by snapshotsandneedledrops

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CANADA! I spent this Canada Day’s eve as a happy little ex-pat: baking maple cookies, wearing red flannel and unabashedly, albeit ironically, belting out Sloan lyrics– “One thing I know about the rest of my life… I KNOW THAT I’LL BE LIVING IT IN CANADA”.  And, while I imagined you all drinking beer on the dock and enjoying your day off, I was toiling away at my desk– not-so-secretly sporting a CANUCK tshirt under my blazer. Classic Canadiana: […]

Seth Sentry Groovin the Moo Canberra Australia 2013 live

Moos and Grooves: Part One

April 29, 2013 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Between sets. This weekend I went to my first Australian Music Fesitval, Groovin the Moo. The guiding shtick of this festival is to take over the fields of small town Australia and bring ‘local and imported produce’ to the people and our bovine friends. I had a complete blast. Like the previously mentioned Alpine and Frightened Rabbit, the lineup featured some pretty fantastic acts, I got to enjoy some all time favourites and hear some fresh local Australian crop at […]

Enlighten Festival Canberra light projections on building

Ain’t No Love

March 11, 2013 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Canberra’s ‘Enlighten’ Festival March 2013 I woke this fine Australian morning to find that my friends at Ain’t No Love have come out with a beast of a new video for their latest ‘Gone Already.’ It opens with haunting beats and singer Saidah’s entrancing vocals. The mix lures you into a chilled rhythmic groove only to be shaken awake by the purposely frantic and silver-tongued stylings MCs Beanz and 1990. Love Thy Brother’s Liam Clarke is masterful as he creates […]

On Returning

May 16, 2012 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Hey… hi there… how’s it goin’?… Remember me? It’s not the easiest thing to start posting again after eleven weeks. My online silence has been the result of offline chaos. There’s been a lot on my plate this spring, but I’m slowly but surely pulling everything together again and I hope to soon be back in a regular posting rhythm. My busy life has also left little time for music foraging. The stuff I have managed to listen to this season has […]
