I missed out on one of the best albums of 2008-Some are Lakes by land of Talk. It definitely would have made my top 5 had I known. Liz Powell's voice is so seductive. It's not too different from Applause Cheer Boo Hiss EP (2006). And I like that! In fact, I love it! I would honestly recommend every track. This is proof that girls can rock. Also, she just officially joined the ranks of Broken Social Scene.

Land of Talk-Young Bridge


Also, Now Now Every Children released a full album, Cars somewhat recently. It's kind of a hybrid of two of their EPs which were also released in 2008, with some omitted/added. More proof girls can rock!

It's not just a Hallmark holiday folks..

So here is my latest obsession... Spreepark. They're from Edmonton slash Calgary and they're actually damn great. I don't mind saying it either. I don't even feel like explaining why. Just know it yourself. On top of that, they offer two of their albums for FREE DOWNLOAD!! Who does that? Honestly?!! More punctuation^*&!

Somehow associated with this band is Woodpigeon which is my other latest obsession (perhaps it's cos' both bands share my love of glockenspiels).

Super Fun Facts:

1. They're like... the best
2. They were named one of the top 10 hot new bands on CBC.ca (among Land of Talk, Thunderheist, Crystal Castles, Paper Cranes, etc).
3. They have 7 members (or more)!!
4. Download/listen to "Death by Ninja" on their myspace.
