Toothpaste Kisses - The Maccabees from Colour It In

My iTunes shuffle seems intuitively aware that Toothpaste Kisses is a perfect late-night, getting ready for zzz’s kind of song. Never doubt the mellow whistle of The Maccabees


A pipeline spill leaked 22,000 barrels “ethical” oil/water emulsion into Northern Alberta this past week. Best part; a passing pilot reported the spill, the company was entirely unaware. Safe practice right?
An “un-radical” citizen should be shocked given that government/industry tell us these sorts of things don’t happen - and certainly won’t happen with the Northern Gateway pipeline, let alone the subsequent tankers. 
Enbridge launched a multi-million dollar ad campaign to “help British Columbians understand what the project is about”. Slogan: “It’s more than a pipeline. It’s a path to our future”. How infuriating… It’s a path to industry profit, and China’s (*human rights gold star*) benefits while devastating Canada. Future’s bright.

Beach House - Myth (Later with Jools Holland)


Could Beach House be more perfect? Is Victoria LeGrand ever not flawless? Probably not, if heaven existed - they’d be it.

How Do I Know - Here We Go Magic from A Different Ship

The delightful rarity of a straightforward Here We Go Magic track - experimental textures intact, but with vocal loops and a charging ease, How Do I Know forms so-damn-catchy indie rock.

How do I know if I love you, when all these things come and go

You can’t stand them together

in some neat little row,

So how do I Know
