Sloan’s second album, Twice Removed is full of great songs, but this sweet acoustic number’s always been a standout for me.
For the amount of listens I’ve given Halcyon Days, I really should check out Ellie Goulding’s first album.
One of the best slow builds of all time. The Temptations add each layer on at just the right point throughout the song.
Once those clapping hands kick in around the 2:40 mark, I’m hooked every time.
In a lot of metal songs, the guitarist going off on some perpetual solo tangent seems to me like they’re missing the point. It’s technically impressive, but can lose that sense of melody and feeling from the song.
In this song Duane Allman and Dickey Betts definitely let their guitars loose, but it almost seems like the sincere expression of a pure joy that they can’t keep inside. As if they just can’t stop gushing about some new love, but instead of words, they’re speaking in guitar solos.
I like to think that everyone in this band had a big dumb grin on their face during the whole performance of Blue Sky.
Even though I’m more familiar with Torquil Campbell from his guest spots on CBC’s Q, it was a nice surprise to see his band at Osheaga last year.
Good songs tend to have a certain timeless quality. The same can’t really be said for everything else that’s going on in this video though. I’m sure I’ve seen videos that’ve come across as more dated, but I really can’t think of any.
A perfect example of the live version of a song rendering the studio version obsolete.
I really don’t understand why this album gets so much flack when compared to the rest of Radiohead’s catalogue.
If I had satellite radio, I’m not sure that I’d ever change the station from Alt Nation.
