Elliott Brood came to Calgary to play Sled Island at a perfect time, 4 days after their latest album release, Mountain Meadows, and on a perfect summer day to go with their perfect summer music.

Chad VanGaalen in the STARDOME!

I sincerely apologize for the lack of updates. After getting home from Montreal, it seemed like everything started going warp speed, with work, copious amounts of live music (due to the incredible Sled Island music festival) and birthday parties, there created absolutely no time for blog updates…and sleep.

Vampire Weekend, Chris Garneau and Noah and the Whale on La Blogotheque

La Blogotheque a.k.a the amazing art of, Parisian, Vincent Moon, has become one of my favourite things floating around the internet at the moment.
