Current Obsession: Mo Kenney - Telephone

If I had another lover, 

could I keep you on the side?

Mo Kenney is an extremely talented Canadian artist from Nova Scotia. I saw her open for Joel Plaskett at the Cochrane folk festival a few years ago and was really impressed with her voice. Lately I've been really digging this song from her new album "In my Dreams"  (Produced by Plaskett). It's actually hard breaking when you listen to the lyrics but it's so darn catchy! 

Current Obsession: Lord Huron - Fool for Love

​I know I should've never looked back 

​But you ain't gonna win a woman's heart like that ​

I never should've called his bluff ​

I was born to lose cause I'm a fool for love

A new Lord Huron album is on it's way and the first track released, "Fool for Love" is GOOOOOOD. They're playing a show in Vancouver in a few weeks but as fate would have it their show is the night before my most difficult final exam (Advanced reactor design). Ughh being responsible and trying to graduate is killlling me. 

Current Obsession: Amen Dunes - Lonely Richard

You've known yourself for all time

Every now and then I'll hear a song that makes me stop what I'm doing and close my eyes so I don't miss a thing. This is one of those songs. I still get lost in this song every time I hear it. 

Current Obsession: Villagers - Hot Scary Summer

We got good at pretending

Then pretending got us good

We've always been up against it

But now it's sad to see

We're up against eachother

In this hot scary summer

Just finished booking hostels across Ireland and so I am posting this song by Villagers because they are an Irish folk band from Dublin and this song is absolutely beautiful and I cannot get enough of it. Just sit back and listen.

Current Obsession: Asaf Avidan - The Jail That Sets You Free

Honey come with me

It's just you and me

Baby believe it's 

As simple as can be

Sorry I haven't posted in a few weeks. Things have been crazy, but I've been listening to a ton of music and have a few songs I want to share.  First of all is this song from Asaf Avidan's latest record, Gold Shadow. The entire record is excellent, but for some reason this song really stands out to me and I find myself putting it on repeat. It starts off kind of edgy and then bursts into this fantastic catchy pop chorus that makes me want to skip down the sidewalk on my way to school.
