That Expectedly, Unexpected Sound

April 15, 2013 by snapshotsandneedledrops

The stunning ST a ‘Sparkling Hour‘ in Muskoka Dulling the pain created by the release of Osheaga’s 2013 line-up and the acceptance that I won’t be attending this year is the anticipation of going to the Australian music festival called ‘Groovin the Moo” in two weeks! Groovin’ the Moo has stacked the deck with awesome bands from Australia. And Australia, if you haven’t noticed, has recently been flooding the market with killer new acts. Today’s feature is a band that […]

Breezy Vibes

July 22, 2012 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Last June I wrote about Bahamas, a Torontonian artist who’s real name was (and still is, actually) Afie Jurvanen. I’ve since learnt that Mr. Jurvanen was actually raised in my hometown of Barrie, Ontario! That is crazy. Do you know who comes from Barrie? Hockey players, figure skaters, Stockwell Day, that girl from Radio Free Roscoe, and now Bahamas. What an addition! As I said last June, Bahamas’ first album is filled with easygoing songs that are short and sweet, […]

Summer Anthem

July 16, 2012 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Return of the short posts! Icona Pop’s “I Love It” has turned into my summer anthem for 2012. I listen to it when I run, drive, let loose… pretty much all the time. Now, usually when “I Love It” gets played, someone interjects with “I prefer this one” and links through “Manners” by the same group. “Manners” is awesome- but it ain’t my summer anthem. However, because I’m feeling generous, I’ll link it through as well. Like many good bands, this duo […]

Closing Jazz Fest

July 5, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

The Love Shack is a little ole place where 100,000 people can get together. Last night my friends and I went to the closing concerts of the 2011 Montreal International Jazz Festival. On the main stage the B-52s were rocking it like it was 1989. The place was a mad house. Apparently by the time the 80s band graced the stage over 100,000 people had crowded into Place-des-Arts. After paying our respects to the B-52s by grooving to their tunes […]
