PICK OF THE WEEK | PLANTS AND ANIMALS LA LA LAND
Montreal's Plants and Animals sharpen their skills, but will it help the Hab's?
If Montreal's Plants and Animals made it a goal to up the rock and roll ante with their latest release, LA LA Land - mission accomplished.
This pattern of hitting you hard with accessible, singable and very danceable three-piece rock, followed by 'come-downs' continues throughout LA LA Land. This pattern makes the work unpredictable and emotional - something I know I will continue to reach for, especially when people stop in for din din. Track three, American Idol, which I hope Warren C. Spicer is serious about reveals that he wants to be '... your American Idol'. I'd watch. Warren would stick it to those sheep. Question though, who would he cover? Himself?
There's something special about Warren's voice. He transforms ordinary words into bright episodes full of open doors, which he kicks down to take his game that much further. This was also true for the bands live performance. He seemed to be barely opening is mouth, yet the enter venue was filled with this sweet sonic sounds. This was cool cause you could really be anywhere in the venue and hear them well.
Our BDM team travelled to Toronto to see P&A play a free show at the Horseshoe for the launch of LA LA Land.

The album is full of surprises and wonder, starting with unfamiliar, up tempo guitar riffs on Tom Cruz, which pull back melodically into Swinging Bells.

LC 03 EP 04 | FRENCHIE
This week's episode! Eh, FRENCHIE!
NEW THIS WEEK | 1. Josh, who got to stay back in London throws us a new Gorilla Video, Jill and Paul.
B. I know we faked you out a little announcing the new title creds a couple weeks back. Technicalities will be technical difficulties, but we've recovered and re-cut it to feature "Electric City" by our good friends Grand Analog. [THANK YOU!] You'll see it in the first segment. Enjoy the show!

in Da Newz | SHAD ALBUM PREVIEW
Remember the first season of London Calling? Me neither... but what I do know is that the Old Prince was a big part of it, kicking off each episode with a freestyle on a London rooftop. [We'll have that one dug up for you later]
SHADK is getting ready to release his third LP: TSOL and you can preview it today at Spinner.ca all 13 tracks.
I just previewed the entire thing myself and it meets all expectations [good Ol' Prince].
Whatever you're doing right now, surfing the net, chillin' with some homies, or hula hooping on the back deck... do it to this.
Personal Picks: Rose Garden, We, Myself, and I, At the Same Time
