		<title>The second coming of Lucky Soul</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You ever have one of those weeks?  If the last seven days could be given a subtitle, it would have to be A Series of Unfortunate Events.  Needless to say, a week away from the daily grind is going to be a welcome reprieve to the bull I&#8217;ve been dealing with lately, and I&#8217;d certainly [...]]]></description>

		<title>CONTEST!  The Mountain &amp; The Trees; Bird &amp; Bear @ CMW</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yeah, it&#8217;s Canadian Music Week in Toronto right now, and although I don&#8217;t plan on attending the whole festival, I may catch a pair of gigs while I&#8217;m in the city this weekend.  I&#8217;ve been inundated with emails for CMW and SXSW and have pretty much ignored them since I wasn&#8217;t planning on attending either, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stars introduce us to The Five Ghosts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Soft Revolutions Records is proud to announce their inaugural release will be The Five Ghosts, the fifth full-length from my beloved Stars.  It only makes sense:  Soft Revolution is the band&#8217;s brand spanking new label, established after they decided to leave Arts &#38; Crafts for new adventures in hi-fi.  It will be licensed worldwide (except [...]]]></description>

		<title>QBiM SPiNS: The Besnard Lakes Are the Roaring Night</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In sitting down to prepare this review, I heard the news that Mark Linkous of Sparklehorse committed suicide, which is why I&#8217;ve been drawn to the parallels between this album (in both name and tone) and that of Linkous&#8217; last project, his collaboration with Danger Mouse and a host of other indie players on Dark [...]]]></description>

		<title>The naked human voice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
There&#8217;s a moment about half way through &#8220;The Gambler and His Bride&#8221; where someone who&#8217;s paying close attention to the song can travel back through time and space to the day last summer when Daniel Romano, Fred Squire and Julie Doiron were recording it in Squire&#8217;s garage.  Amidst the gentle plucking and raw harmonies you [...]]]></description>

		<title>NEW MUSiC: Andrew Watt and The Glory Glory</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Have you noticed that lately, there&#8217;s been some heavy shite going down at QBiM HQ?  I blame it on the cold, dark and haunting winter days for my serious and louder than usual sonic moods.  But man, with the sun coming out these last few days, it feels like Spring is just around the corner, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wavin&#8217; flags: 2010 Juno nominees announced</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As you might be aware, Canadian Music Week is coming up next week, and I naively put forth my name and the blog for media accreditation, trying to get a chance to cover some of the shows and events that&#8217;ll be happening around Toronto.  So last night, while I&#8217;m knee-deep in recycled paper, trying desperately [...]]]></description>

		<title>CONTEST!  Ghostkeeper CD up for grabs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
There&#8217;s a magical something or other happening on Ghostkeeper&#8217;s second, self-titled LP that isnt immeidatley obvious.  It took me a couple listens and a quick look at their press release to realize that the magic is down to the vintage analogue   tape machines the choose to record on, and their unique, nontraditional studio [...]]]></description>

		<title>NEW MUSiC:  Born Ruffians &#8220;Sole Brother&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I get mixed feelings about Canadian bands who get signed to labels outside of the country, like The Rural Alberta Advantage going with Saddle Creek, or Born Ruffians getting scooped by Warp.  On one hand, I don&#8217;t begrudge the band the success and attention, but on the other I get pissed that homegrown labels didn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>
