I went to Toronto this weekend to play a show and came upon an unexpected surprise: Fin, my musical soul-mate. If you like Grimes, you will probably like this. It's like a sexy lady version of How to Dress Well or something. I highly suggest that anybody check it out.
I also apologize for this shitty box.com embedded thing, I don't really know how to use the internet....

One of our favorite venue spaces shut down permanently, the night before our first anniversary. Instead of dancing to Flow Child and Grimes until the morning, as planned, we caught some early zzz's. Here's a video our friend and Arbutus intern David Cowan captured at one of the last parties at Silver Door, when Rollie of Cadence Weapon fame and members of Pat Jordache and Silly Kissers performed as Prince.
Later Dolly Parton’s wig and jacket got ripped off and some ghouls got a little too rowdy for the Artist Formerly Known As. Someone pointed out that the bongos come in at 4:20. Silver Door was a good ride while it lasted...
Hey, also, speaking of Pat Jordache, I'm listening to the FUTURE Songs tape right now and you should too, it's really doing it for me this morning... You can stream it, download it for pay what you can (sugg. $5) or buy the tape (which is clearly the better option) right here.
Devon of Pop Winds has been secretly working on his solo project and I thought it would be cool to share a few songs because they blow my mind. This is one of the most under-rated projects in Mtl right now - check it!
xxxo
p.s. songs are pretty unmastered and rough - best listened too on headphones

Savage himself has evolved dramatically from album to album, and offers his latest as a modern disco experiment. Mutual Feelings of Respect and Admiration is a collaborative project involving producers Sebastian Cowan and David Carriere (Silly Kissers). The album, initially recorded onto reel-to-reel tape, was then given over to Carriere who creatively remixed and arranged Savage's songs. This unusual project is pulled off with great success: breezy synth lines and pitched vocals gives the whole recording a nostalgic, yet eerie feeling. In sum it allows Savage's brilliant and timeless songwriting to find the modern listener at mind and heart. Perfectly poppy and aesthetic, its' depth is developed by the rich spacing and layering of the remix process.
