Video reblogged from Mitchell McKenna
Tim Chaisson performs “Real” in the lobby of Main Building at UPEI. Check out Tim Chaisson and Morning Fold’s latest album on iTunes.
You know what’s cool? This.
Why, you ask? Because for one, it’s an island musician - a damn good one, who deserves all the attention he gets. And two, they’ve got a blog with a ton of these talented musicians that happen to be on the UPEI campus (pretty sure that they don’t all attend, given that the list has Fred Penner on it, too… the guy can’t not be a teacher. Brilliant.).Is this a great and authentic way to market the culture of PEI, the campus life and its music department? You’re damn right it is. (Thanks for posting this, Mitch)

life:
It was fifty years ago today that Bob Dylan had his first recording session at Columbia Records. Dylan was backup harmonica for folk singer Caroline Hester — It was shortly after that Dylan was offered his own deal with Columbia.

Guys, Bobby D has been rocking the shit out of life for over half a century. So cool.

Even if the new iPhone doesn’t come out in September, at least I can fall back on the musical mastery of this son of a gun, Mr Dan Fucking Mangan. Oh you’ve already bought his album and kissed his mother’s cheek? Go sit down.

Photo reblogged from Dads are the Original Hipsters
Your dad played obscure musical instruments before you did and there’s a sultry flute ballad about your mom to prove it. Everyone plays guitar, it’s the English of instruments that frat dogs pick up to woo women with unoriginality. Your dad was a true musician, a virtuoso of cylindrical steel and The Pied Piper of panty dropping. His fingers could craft high notes that rang tree tops with euphoria, and sometimes he didn’t even need his flute to do it.
So hipsters, next time you’re red eyed at an Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros concert and feeling mystically inspired to start playing the accordion or viola, remember this…Your dad could give you obscure music lessons if he wasn’t busy working to pay for your liberal arts degree.
Big thank you to Erin for today’s photo.
Make note: I can play any song he can play. Actually.

New from City and Colour - Fragile Bird.
Read an interview a while ago, I’ll be damned if I could remember where, but he had said that this album was going to sound quite different from Bring Me Your Love. Less only Dallas Green and a guitar, more Dallas Green and accompanying experimental instruments. More more more.
I approve.

Summer’s Day by Chief
Wake up and walk in the street
people are all around me
You are the prettiest girl
the prettiest girl in all the world….
I will sing a sad sad song
Perse your lips kiss them long
Sleep and dream and repeat
These days for meOn a summer’s day…
-
I want to kiss you.
Like a traffic jam.I want to move slow.
I want to stop and go like at least I know I’m moving towards you. -

Some doctors are only worth a nickel.
Dr Jemaine, for example, probably has an opinion that isn’t worth shit.His music on the other hand, hilarious and worth at least a quarter. (Picture from this wonderful lady)
