Anchored by vivid songwriting and eclectic instrumentation, The Acorn produce an original brand of experimental, popular folk music that effortlessly marries modern and traditional forms. Inspired by the natural beauty of the Outaouais region, and with his principle projects all on hiatus, Rolf Klausener started writing under the moniker The Acorn in the summer of 2002. Initially an excuse to teach himself home-recording, these furtive experiments quickly started eating up the majority of his free time. These early musings would eventually become The Acorn’s first full-length release, The Pink Ghosts. A mellifluous, mostly-instrumental tribute to the Ottawa region, The Pink Ghosts was by released in July 2004 on Jon Bartlett’s proudly independent community-based label, Kelp Records. By this time, The Acorn had grown to include the talents of guitarist Jeff Debutte, visual artist and guitarist Howie Tsui and drummer Jeffrey Malecki. In the fall of 2005, they released Blankets! , a more melodically focused effort showcasing the bands emerging synthesis of experimental folk and pop. Blankets! earned the band notable praise from CBC radio, independent media, and campus radio stations across the country. Inspired by the road and the communities they discovered beyond their sleepy capital city, The Acorn made every effort to travel the country, touring independently and as often as they could.

the best experience in my life, period.

a sea away from all the craziness the end of a schoolyear brings, in a crappy tent with a 3-year stock of beer, cigarettes and Polish vodka, Glastonburry has been something I would describe as; having the time of my life.

going out yesterday I heard this song, something about it...

Silverchair are one of Australia's most successful post-grunge/alternative rock bands. The group has had more top twenty hits during the last decade than any other local artist and they have sold over six million albums worldwide.

De Retour Dans La Journée

Sniff 'n' The Tears is a band that is probably best known for their singel 'Driver's Seat' from back in 1978 or from 1997's movie 'Boogie Nights'

Driver's Seat topped the Dutch charts in 1992, they have been touring a lot here. My parents once went to a concert in '82 and they have really old polaroids, love it.

hip-hop is usually not really my thing, though Kanye West joys me with his music and so does Kid Cudi.

Day 'n' Nite is a really good song, the original -I think- even better than the Crooker's remix..

Trafic Aérien

Air Traffic, consider it not to be planes, but just the regular traffic. Everybody has miniature Jetson-like planes that they fly around in. When going shopping, going to school... - weird imagination running away again -

this talented group from southern Bournemouth hit the scene in 2004. They moved to London in 2005 and their debut album 'Fractured Life' was released in July 2007. Currently working on their second.

Air Traffic. With Chris Wall as vocals/piano, David Jorden on drums, Jim Maddock on bass and Tom Pritchard on guitar. Love it.

sotd: Air Traffic - I Like That

here's a musical genius that doesn't even have a decent website of his own: Gustavo Santaolalla.

sure thing it would be hard to type in 'gustavosantaolalla.com' - takes you about half an hour if not more - but everyone must agree if anyone deserves it, it must be Gustavo.

Now his artistic songs for Motorcycle Diaries (Jardin), Babel and Brokeback Mountain (A Love That Will Never Grow Old) have been a success, there's no denying it: Gustavo Santaolalla is a musical wunderkind.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

from wunderkind to wundergenes: Fiction Plane is the band with Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner's - better known as Sting of course - son. Their undenyable similar sound makes Fiction Plane's lead singer's voice a good one. Therefore:
