Anxiety

Positive anxiety can be just as crippling:

New Angel Haze Track: "Echelon"

So sick, I could puke. I feel like I would lose my mind if this song came on during the credits of some high-adrenaline action movie with a dramatic ending.

"Echelon" comes from Angel Haze's feverishly anticipated debut album Dirty Gold. Though no release date has been announced, the album's been finished for some time. So any day now ...

The Day of Full Highly Anticipated Album Streams

News broke early this morning that Nine Inch Nails' Hesitation Marks had started streaming in full on iTunes. Click here for the link.

Eight hours later, I came home from work and found out Fader is streaming White Poppy's debut self-titled LP, and Blind Horses, another Vancouver act, are streaming their debut LP Avail via Bandcamp.

Unfortunately, the first real chance I'll have to listen to any of these, I'll probably be hungover.

The Go-Betweens - "Two Steps, Step Out"

My second favourite song from one of my least favourite albums by one of my favourite bands. "Two Steps, Step Out" x Before Hollywood x The Go-Betweens:

The Courtneys Feat. Daniel Pitout (Nü Sensae) and Ryan Dyck - "90210"

The sound quality in this video is shit, but after having seen Nü Sensae's Daniel Pitout drum on the Courtneys' "90210", I will never listen to this song the same way again. Can Daniel play on all of the Courtneys songs from now on? And B-Lines'/Hockey Dad Records' Ryan Dyck almost dumping JTP on her head and smashing her against the ceiling - best Courtneys show I've ever seen no question:

The Courtneys FEAT. Daniel Pitout - 90210 at the Biltmore from The Courtneys on Vimeo.

Vancouver's Got LEGS ∆

I may not get to see the Dead Weather any time soon, but at least this band lives in my town:

Swearin' Is Cool

Happy I could tell there was a Crutchfield in here (two, actually):
