What's on my Ipod VI

I have been in a music slump for a long, long time. One night I decided to sit down and find new stuff and I scored. It's good timing, because I have a deadline next week. That means that for the last few weeks at work I've been plugged in to this stuff almost all day in order to finish drawings.

Metric - Synthetica

Can I just say 'best road trip music ever'? We listened to this on our way to Penticton and it's perfect! Other than that, I am in love with this album - super edgy, every song is different. I think Metric is really coming into their own. Their concert is in November (with Stars!) and I'm stoked.

Kathleen Edwards - Voyageur

Two buddies who I trust with music recommendations kept raving about this one. It's intense emotionally, but so worth it. When you understand the story behind the album (her break up) it's even better. Good stuff.

Plastic Operator - Before the Day is Out

I love, love, love these guys! I nearly peed my pants when I saw they had a new album out. It delivers fantastic new tunes right in line with their old stuff. Super catchy, great for working, walking home, background music - you name it. Check them out, do it. Fave song - Motor.

Mackintosh Braun - Where We Are

This is a great find. It was worth the couple hours I spent browsing online and listening to lots of stuff that wasn't right. A bit like Pnau, or Empire of the Sun - but way, way better. They are on high rotation.

Freelance Whales - Weathervanes

I love these guys too. A little more mellow than I usually go for, but their melodies are catchy and all the songs are different. There is one song I especially like - it starts out one way then morphs into another melody - I love it when artists do that.

I still have $40 to spend on Itunes. I might start looking again next week when my project goes out for tender.
