I Spell It Nature - “Empty Places, Smiling Faces” Stumbled across this one while checking out local stuff from here in Ottawa on Bandcamp. This one’s a nice postrock track with Frippertronics styled guitar intro, builds to a pretty rockin’ finish. Looks like its a teaser for an upcoming full-length.

Saåad - “Southberry Tower” Drone transcendence. This is the epic closing track on the Pink Sabbath EP, available as a name your price download. Grab it and then go put this track on repeat.

Gem Club - “Lands” Boston-area slowpokes Gem Club provide a mournful, mysterious sound on their debut LP Breakers, released last month via Hardly Art. The record, available for streaming on the group’s bandcamp, is a basically a set of piano ballads. Never faster than a funeral dirge, with minimal accompaniment (a few drumbeats here, some strings there) and ethereal/sad vocals....

Zebrassieres - “Magazine Seducer” Rockit like it’s 1978! short sharp shocked pop-punkin’ new-wavin’ sounds that don’t take themselves to seriously. Bonus points for being an Ottawa band! This track’s from the 6-track Black Brainwave EP, recently issued on Zebrassieres’ bandcamp as a streaming only release. Every track’s a winner, folks.

Stagecoach UK - “We Got Tazers” Big Like. Fun lovin’, indierockin’, pizza-gobblin’ young lads based in London. I gather they are blowin’ up a bit in the UK. RIYL: Japandroids or Male Bonding, with mandolin. More tunes by the band at their Soundcloud. [h/t heilewelt, who posted some older stuff by the band the other day]

Feist oughta cover "Paparazzi"
So I was getting my coffee this morning and overheard Feist on the shop’s soundsystem. Next thing I know I’m walking down the street humming Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi.” Dunno why - guess my head figgers there’s a connection there, maybe it thinks the melody is somewhat Feistian…? So anyhow, the more I think about it, the more I think a Feist cover of that...

“And, here’s a bizarro stat that got some attention: the average CD is...”
– Digital Music News Not so bizarro IMO. I’d assume a power law (long tail) distribution would apply to listening habits, as well as purchasing ones. So a very few CDs get a huge number of listens while most get almost none at all. I’ll bet it holds true in terms of digital formats in...

The Eversons - “Gravy Rainbow” Another fab track from The Eversons, who I gushed about recently. This tune’s a mid-tempo burner. Available as a “name you price” track via bandcamp.

Talkdemonic - “Revival” This is kinda cool. It’s an instrumental postclassical indietronic folk jig. The band’s new album Ruins has just been released on Glacial Pace Recordings.

'Cassette Tape' removed from Dictionary →
Making way for the vocabulary of a new generation has led to the Concise Oxford English Dictionary removing ‘cassette tape’ from its pages. Replacing old-school for new-cool will see words such as ‘retweet’ take a place on the dictionary’s pages instead as its editor-at-large Jesse Sheidlower branded the cassette tape “so past its prime that it was not worth keeping it in.” BTW -...
