Indie bands can be a dime a dozen – but what isn’t is a band that comes along producing music that makes you jam out unknowingly while listening to them. And by that I mean a band that has you bopping in your seat while multi-tasking, and singing along to words that you didn’t realized you had learned. TV Heart Attack, based out of Vancouver (Thorny Bleeder Records), is a band starting to make waves with their latest EP “Lost in the Sway“. Lucky me happened to be in Van …

 
This is just straight amazing. Directed by Takuya Hosogane. Music by Cubesato.

 
My loves Dragonette is going to be on tour with Little Boots and Fan Death. While Fan Death isn’t as familiar as the other names to me, I’m all to certain that this is going to be a blast of a tour (they’re slated to come to Toronto on April 30th – anyone down?)
 
As if that wasn’t enough to get overexcited when opening my email, I’ve been provided with an amazing remix of Pick Up The Phone by Arithmatix! (I know, there have been way many of them). But trust, …

 
Tik Tok on the clock and the party don’t stop (no, oh oh until 20 minutes later because that’s when it did). The KE$HA Party in Toronto was a little treatlet that was dropped a week before – thanks Sony. While the party was pretty bumping (yes, alongside some sweethearted 16 year olds with KE$HA-like makeup), it ended quickly. Loved the lasers, relished in the ribbon, and giggled at the band. Some good times were had by Wynne and I.
 
Thanks KE$HA! Thanks also for the video that someone managed to …

 
You heard it here (or hear) last – Jay-Z is bomb. I was listening to this song all holiday but was in need of doing further sharing today.
 
I’m blogging quicktimes as I’m off to meet @MyVintageSecret downtown on Bloor for some good vintage shopping. Catch yall Monday!

 
At the sweet recco of Maria, I picked up a bunch of tracks from Mozella, a songstress with vocals that tinge on Duffy-style music. I love the stories of people running off to LA to pursue their dreams – stolen from Wikipedia:
 
MoZella was born and raised in Livonia, Michigan, where she first got her start as a performer booking her own gigs in coffee houses at age 15. Immediately after graduating from high school, she set out for Los Angeles to pursue a career in music. She took a day …

 
This was on a had-to-post basis – KE$HA TIK TOK music video just in time to inspire you for New Years. Enjoy!

 
Today’s the day of Phoenix! Going to see them at the Sound Academy tonight, which should be pretty fantastic (check 1901 above). Sorry for being mildly missing lately, I’ve been using this week to do what I haven’t done in eons: do nothing. And do it well.
 
Planning to pick up a point and shoot that will allow me to do HD quality vlogs (awww yeah). So you’ll be seeing more of that sweet urbanebloc stop motion intro. Cause you know you want to.
 
Also just want to say hi to the …

 
The EATONS played at Edge 102.1 yesterday night to an open crowd at 9pm. The venue was packed, the music was good, and it was overall good times. These guys are not only hilariously fun and talented, but are well deserving of winning Edge 102’s Indie online voting contest. Their new EP is expected in January 2010, but in the meantime, play it all out on their MYSPACE.
 

 
I met the Isle of Thieves when I tagged along with The Eatons (who by the way, have some new music mucho on the way, and it’s sounding good), and they’re a bunch of fun folk (to share friends with too – portions are huge in Oshawa. Holler). Lo and behold they’re playing a free show on December 5, 2009, at the famed Mod Club (722 College Street in Toronto). Come by, enjoy some music, and have some good times with them!
 
There’s free downloads on their website so you can …
