To remember that disco was popular at the time makes this picture all the cooler.

Meaghan Smith - “Heartbroken”

This post marks the second noteworthy artist from Nova Scotia. Between Wintersleep and Meaghan Smith, it would seem Halifax is a budding music scene. Philip Glass also spends a lot of time in Nova Scotia. Music is born in unsuspecting places. Strange, but true.

The Hood Internet - “Just a Friendomania”

Love or hate mashups, these guys are awesome at their jobs. It’s also great to see Biz Markie getting some well deserved love. Happy Friday to all.

Boat - “Lately”

“Lately” sounds like The Cars and John Sebastian’s “Welcome Back” rolled into one great song.

The Dead Weather - “Bone House” (live From the Basement)

Allison Mosshart gives a spellbinding performance here. There is a fierceness to her sexiness. Though what do you expect when her other band is named The Kills?

Fuck Buttons - “Surf Solar”

Like Animal Collective or The Field, Fuck Buttons craft sonic landscapes with texture and seriality. Their music is a cyclical exploration rather than linear. “Surf Solar” is a long track, but worth the time.

Julian Casablancas - “Glass”

By far, my favorite song off Julian’s new album. He has such a melodic ear.

Truman Peyote - “New Wife, New Life”

Best band name I’ve heard in a long time. “New Wife, New Life” is perfect for Animal Collective fans.

Jose Gonzalez - “Hand on Your Heart (live)”

Even though this sounds like it belongs in Nick Drake’s songbook, amazingly it’s a Kylie Minogue cover…and it’s beautifully done.

The Antlers - “Bear”

The chorus of “We’re too old / “We’re not old, old at all” reminds me of Bob Dylan’s line from “My Back Pages”: “Oh but I was so much older then / I’m younger than that now.”

White Rabbitts - “Company I Keep”

There are parts of this song that remind me of the large, grandiose atmosphere of OK Computer. I know Radiohead comparisons are nearly heretical in the blogosphere. Just saying…
