New music from local Toronto artist on the come-up and friend of the Kitchen, Brendan Philip released on Fake Art records.

Apologies for the lack of posts over the past couple weeks but my life is super busy right now and keeping the blog up to date has not been a priority recently. Hopefully I can do better moving ahead but I make no promises….

Selections from my Long List ballot for the 2013 Polaris Music Prize

Still a pretty balanced ballot for me this year versus last year even with my picking three hip-hop albums versus only one (!) last year.

Here’s a quick look at some of the tracks from my Long List picks:

1. Zaki Ibrahim – Every Opposite

2. Jai Nitai Lotus – Something You Feel

3. KJ – Water

4. SonReal and Rich Kidd – The Closers

5. Metz – METZ

Whatchu think??

[MP3] Andreya Triana – Song For A Friend

Great sunny Sunday afternoon in Toronto, chill out vibes. Unsurprising for those of you who know Ms. Triana from her Flying Lotus collaboration “Tea Leaf Dancers”. Shades of The Beatles‘ “Let It Be” in there, no? Dig this though? BUY Andreya Triana – Song For A Friend on iTunes HERE.

[MP3 + Music Video] Saidah Baba Talibah – High

The (S)cream album’s been out for a minute but this video for the “High” track from it just dropped recently. You can listen to the album in full here: Facebook | Bandcamp

I was gonna include a link to her crowd-funding page for her new album but it appears the campaign has ended and was successful. Congrats, Saidah. Now go make a great record!
