Essential MP3 - The Weakerthans - This Is a Firedoor Never Leave Open

There's something to be said for John K. Samson. Whether it's being key part in (probably other than DOA and Nomeansno) the biggest and greatest canadian punk band ever Propagandhi,  or being the founding father and chief songwriter for The Weakerthans which are honestly probably one of the greatest sounds to come out of this great country in the last 15 years.

This Is A Firedoor, Never Leave Open is taken off 2000's epic full length Left and Leaving. Chart Magazine called it the 6th greatest Canadian album of all time. This is a clear display of  his genius lyrics and chord progressions.

New Mix - Nosaj Thing - Mary Anne Hobbs

He ripped it at at last years Rifflandia and has been one a big player of the Brainfeeder crew in LA. Wicked airy spaced out beats and tons of unreleased music and dubs are packed into this short mix that I bet you'll throw on repeat. This will be in steady rotation for awhile.

Up and Coming - First Ait Kit - The King of the World

From their recent release The Lion's Roar. Watch out for this Swedish Duo. Bright Eyes makes an appearance on the album and its heralded great reviews. The music has a good light feel, and I've been enjoying it.

Essential Demo - Pixies - Doolittle Demos Remaster

I've seen The Pixies perform Doolittle in its entirety. Alot of people over the last two years have been as they have been extensively touring and cashing in on its greatness. I appreciate it, I mean, everyone loves to hear where their artists currently are at but in the case of some bands just play the essential stuff to me.

It's funny how we attach our moments and feelings with music. There is stuff that went on in my life when I saw The Pixies play that I will always attach to the music. Unfortunately not the greatest times but still a complete learning experience.

I found this over at Teenage Dogs In Trouble , a great Winnipeg based blog.
