• CD Review: Bahamas - Barchords
  Having just read the No Depression interview with Afie Jurvanen, I thought I'd share the review that I had recently done on his new album.  Jurvanen, who goes by the moniker Bahamas, creates music that radiates a laidback coolness. The Toronto-based musician (who spent several years playing in Feist’s band) blends together blue-eyed soul, home-crafted i […]
• Be Nice Tanyas!
  The Be Good Tanyas Live at the Vogue Theatre, Vancouver BC February 11, 2012 Concert review by Douglas Heselgrave  We’ve all been stuck in the middle of someone else’s argument or witness to a nasty breakup, and no matter how many times it happens, or how hard you try to ignore it, it doesn’t get any less uncomfortable.  Attending the Be Good Tanyas concert […]
