Song Of The Day: July 21, 2015 "Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade (Theme)"

I suppose that should be a photo of John Williams up there, but Indy will do just fine.

Why have I chosen the Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade theme, you may ask?
Because the Summer Cinema series is back and showing the film in Stanley Park tonight! Last time we tried to watch an Indiana Jones film a HUGE storm came out of nowhere and forced us all out. 

Before all that, the theme would pick up here and there in the crowd and everyone would start singing along (as well as you can sing along to an orchestra). So now I've passed this earworm on to you.
Oh, and remember, ""X" never, ever marks the spot." 

Song Of The Day: July 20, 2015 - "Destroy" In-Flight Safety

Halifax band In-Flight Safety, just released their single "Destroy", in the UK and it reminded me how much I enjoy it. While it's just over 4 mins long, it definitely doesn't feel like it, and you'll find yourself hitting the replay button a few times.

They also just released a video for the song, which you can check out below. Apparently the track has been featured on both Vampire Diaries, and The Office (US). You can find their whole album, Conversationalist, HERE.

Song Of The Day: July 17, 2015 - "Done" Frazey Ford

I think this is my song of the summer, if not everyone's new anthem. I love Frazey Ford's entire new album (Indian Ocean), but "Done" is just a masterpiece. You don't want to look at the play counts on my iPod or iTunes...

So you too should listen to this one, on repeat, all day, and then go see her perform live at the first night of the Vancouver Folk Music Festival (aka this evening). Enjoy.

This list might get you pumped up for this weekend in beautiful Pemberton, BC or it might fill you with FOMO/ROMO while you hang out in Vancouver (that is, unless you're at Folk Fest!).

What I can guarantee is that it's full of some really great CanCon that will be gracing the stages of the Pemberton Music Festival, and a majority of them will get you dancing.

Song Of The Day: July 16, 2015 - "Meaning In Life" Rich Aucoin

By the time this is published, I should be on my way up to the Pemberton Music Festival, and mentally crossing all of my fingers and toes that my picks for the Polaris Music Prize will have made it through to the Short List.
The announcement will be at 11am EST/8am PST, and streamed live for those of us that can't be in Toronto.

Since I'll be driving at this point, I figured I'd choose a song from my top pick for best album this year, and my favourite one to drive to: "Meaning In Life" from Rich Aucoin's album Ephemeral. 

In fact, I'm likely going to listen to the whole album during the drive, so you might as well do that too...check out the video below that Rich put together of his album synced up to The Little Prince animation. It's worth the 30mins of your time today, you're not getting work done anyways, are you?

Song Of The Day: July 15, 2015 - "Girl In A Sling" Destroyer

While "Dream Lover", the first single off Destroyer's upcoming album Poison Season, was more of an upbeat rocker, "Girl in a Sling" delivers the polar opposite. The gorgeous piano & strings showcase the laid back, chilled out side of Destroyer. 

Poison Season comes out August 28 and you can catch Destroyer on tour in Vancouver October 17, and elsewhere on other days. 

Song Of The Day: July 14, 2015 - "A Long Time Ago" Kalle Mattson

Kalle Mattson has released a lyric video for his song "A Long Time Ago" full of letter balloons in a dark room.

His latest EP Avalanche, will be released on August 21, with six tracks including this one. Listen to the song below, or check out the video below that!.

Song Of The Day: July 13, 2015 - "The One That Got Away (Came Back Today)" Daniel Romano

Daniel Romano's upcoming album If I've Only One Time Askin' will be released on July 31st, so I thought we'd share the first single from it. "The One That Got Away" is a sad, slow song that you want to put on on a rainy day or when you're suffering from heartache.

Hopefully that is not the case for any of you today, but you can enjoy the song nonetheless.
