God Is a DJ - LIVE - Faithless

Sleep Alone - Bat For Lashes

No one on my playlists can match Bat For Lashes for vocals. It's proven with her new video Sleep Alone, the third single from Two Suns, her 2nd album. Mystifying entirely.

Money City Maniacs - Sloan

I find Sloan to be one of the iconic bands of Canadian Rock music ever. Sloan are a long-standing (especially in the Canadian music scene) Halifax outfit transplanted to the Toronto metro, with 13 albums including the superb live catalog performance quadruple-vinyl/CD album 4 Nights at the Palais Royale and another rare live show recording called Recorded Live at a Sloan Party. They are performing at the Calgary Drenched Music and Water Ski Festival this Friday, August 6th 3:45-5PM. It's going to be a great Friday afternoon of water, wake and an outdoor festival performance by Sloan.

Speaking about one of the best Canadian bands, this video has to be one of the better pieces of Canadian music video. It was produced going into the height of the 90's. It's red, it's retro. I Like.
