The Daily Dig: The Black Angels' "Bad Vibrations"

We're in the second half of the year now (where did the time go?) and I've been pretty impressed by some of the records released so far. But the last couple months have made me realize my top 10 list at the end of the year is going to be very... Black. That's 'cause there are three records I've absolutely loved have been or...

The Daily Dig: Alexisonfire's "Boiled Frogs"

I've been going through my CDs at home, obsessively listening to them one by one. I moved into my own place in May, and i'm trying to figure out which CDs I should keep and which I should jettison. I put Alexisonfire's Crisis on yesterday, and I'm definitely keeping it. While it's probably my least favourite Alexisonfire album...

In case you don't know who Schreifels is, he started his music career as...

The Daily Dig: Bedouin Soundclash's "St. Andrews"

Bedouin Soundclash may have been around for a while now, but I didn't get seriously into them until recently. Sure, I'd heard their Root Fire debut album and Sounding A Mosaic disc in university and thought they were pretty decent, but I never really give them much second thought and was of the opinion that they weren't really my...

The Daily Dig: Michael Franti & Spearhead's "Time To Go Home"

Today, I'm launching a new segment in which I'll be featuring a track I'm enjoying every day. It'll be different from Ed Skira's Don't Look Back (In Anger) in that it will highlight songs both past and present that I'm enjoying that day, but which haven't necessarily influenced my life at all. The first track is...
