Mix Tape

Technically its a playlist on our iPod, but to honour the old-school
medium, heres our top five tunes by Calgary acts we cant seem to get
enough of recently.

1. Morningside off Woodpigeon’s
just released album Die Stadt Muzikanten. While at Nina Ricci,
designer Olivier Theyskens used a song off Woodpigeons first album for
his spring/summer 2009 runway show.

2. Had Enough of It by The
Dudes. Former Calgarian and Broken Social Scene songstress Lisa
Lobsinger makes an appearance on this tune from their 2009 Blood
Guts Bruises Cuts, the rock ode to the bands tough year.

3. Anatomical Literacy by Jordan
Klassen. This young artist released his first full-length album, Tempest
and Winter, last year and had us swooning over his charming
melodies with the first listen.

4. New Years Eve by Dojo
Workhorse. We dare you to try not to sing along to this feel-good
tune by Dan Vacons other ensemble (hes also part of The Dudes). We so
hope she kissed him that fateful New Years Eve.

5. Suzie I Love You by Michael
Bernard Fitzgerald. With that raspy voice and adorable look,
Fitzgerald makes us all wish we were named Suzie.

All songs available on iTunes.
