Really like the song + video, "Delight In Temptation", by Wild Palms:

gives me the greatest peace i've ever known

A couple of really cool promo videos for Patrick Wolf's fifth album, Lupercalia, out on June 20th.





These are two of five portraits videos by John Lindquist that provide a moving insight into the heart, soul and character of Lupercalia.

free her space holiday ep!

Her Space Holiday is offering a free four-song EP entitled Black Cat Balloons in anticipation of the new/final album, Her Space Holiday, out on August 16th through No More Good Ideas.

The second track, "Bitter Hearts (with one foot in the grave)" is by far my favourite track in the EP... love the lyrics!

photo journal: doors open 2011

This past weekend was Doors Open Toronto (a weekend in Toronto where many buildings allow visitors free access to properties that are usually not open to the public.) Naturally, I was super excited because of the great opportunities to take some cool photos... and hassle free! Here are some of my pictures from the weekend, as always, go to my Flickr to see all the pictures!

Stunning Art Deco decor inside the RC Harris Water Treatment Plant:




Some huge and impressive machines at the RC Harris Water Treatment Plant:




Inside a fire truck at Fire Station 227... so cool!




Inside the Redpath Sugar Refinery—definitely my top pick at this year's Doors Open!




I want this: Living Wall Biofilter by Nedlaw inside Corus Quay.




Gorgeous art installation by Troika inside Corus Quay:




Finally, I had an incredible experience at Toronto's First Post Office—wrote a letter with a quill pen and sealed it with wax!

song of the moment

Avi Buffalo performs "Julian Rios":

how to dress well: love remains

Weird—I could have sworn that I posted about Love Remains by How To Dress Well. It came out last September but I did't start obsessively listening to it till early this year. For me, Love Remains is an escape record. The lo-fi ambient sound/noise and sometimes pop/R&B-like tender vocal produce a beautifully lethargic and airy atmosphere. I absolutely love listening to it through my big headphones and feeling lost in the congested city streets. Love Remains is an unique music experience and it is really a gorgeous sounding record!
