Who says there’s no great music anymore? So much great stuff cos there’s little money in it anymore so its all passion , and this is all passion, Red Arms from London ON, wow, loving it, that will get me out of bed - churning Doughboys riffage. That’s passion. Tami, Tourist Company, with passion; JayWood, Tamino, with passion. New Pornographers and Overcoats! Yah bring it on, please, bring it all on. Pop ate itself, now there’s only art left on the table. Get yr bib on!

Heat, yes, hot, hot, hot, coast on the heat waves, the world is turning, hope it don’t turn away, turn, turn, turn, find someone who’s turning and you will come around, lean into it, take it, love it, embrace it . . . because you don’t have to shovel sunshine, baby, you don’t have to shovel sunshine. Here are some of the tracks which made their ways across the slowcity.ca desk, enjoy them and the sun.
