		<title>How Sweet It Is :: Oh My Darling strikes a deft balance on their sophomore album.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
By Michael Elves
They may have entitled their album Sweet Nostalgia, but Winnipeg’s Oh My Darling wasn’t looking back longingly when they went into the studio to record it. Instead, the roots quartet (consisting of Rosalynn Dennett on fiddle, Allison de Groot on clawhammer banjo, Marie-Josée Dandeneau on upright and electric bass, and Vanessa Kuzina on [...]]]></description>

		<title>First Class Riot: To Pip, People are the Worst</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Manitoba rapper Patrick Skene has been around for a number of years now, making hip-hop for the backpackers and the heads, like 2010&#8217;s mondo-catchy yet conscious&#8220;Tens of Dollars&#8221; off his album Skid Row.
Tomorrow, Thursday, Feb 2, he&#8217;ll be releasing People are the Worst at the Lo Pub with the Greg MacPherson band and DJ Co-op [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hillbilly Highway &#8211; A Bud with Ben W</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
by Sheldon Birnie
Local jack-of-all-trades Ben Wytinck is a busy guy. Between working full-time as a sound technician, playing drums in hard boozing Bad Country and rural wedding-social superstars Arnie, he’s also carving out quite the name for himself as a singer-songwriter to be reckoned with.
“Eventually I’d like to have my music be my business,” he [...]]]></description>

		<title>FOAM LAKE &#8211; Force and Matter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Foam Lake takes its name from a Saskatchewan town, population 1,433. Just looking at that number makes me break out into claustrophobic sweat! Thankfully their sound is quite the opposite – expansive and rich in variety and mood and what can be done with guitars and keyboards. As sounds vibrate and spin into “Black Hole,” [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tom Waits – Bad As Me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Tom Waits has crafted many an odd album in his extensive career. I mean, there is some pretty weird shit out there that some folks would simply turn their nose up at and quickly dismiss. Waits’ progressive edge has allowed him to explore some dark and weird territory in the past but on his latest [...]]]></description>

		<title>Zs &#8211; 33</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

33 is the deepest thing I&#8217;ve heard on headphones lately – I can see the room where it was recorded; I can feel the space and the concrete. Sounds in every corner seem to echo for the entire EP – yet it’s minimalism that makes these four recordings. More sparse and, for dire lack of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jóhann Jóhannsson &#8211; Power of Dynamos</title>

By Taylor Burgess
Among the DJ Hedspin and Big Fun craziness which is happening this weekend, The Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra’s New Music Festival is is beginning its forward-thinking series. This year’s festival is featuring Stylus favourites Tim Hecker and Jóhann Jóhannsson, among many other established experimental composers.
This isn’t the first that Winnipeg sees of Icelandic composer [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hillbilly Highway &#8211; The Roadside Church of Yoakam</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
by Sheldon Birnie
Guitars. Cadillacs. Hillbilly Music. Four short words, and Dwight Yoakam lays out the prerogative of every would-be country crooner since the days of Hank Williams.
A couple weeks back, I laid my relationship with the music of Garth Brooks out to y’all as something that was a long time coming, and — for a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Saul Williams – Volcanic Sunlight</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

I wonder if Saul Williams is trying to be subversive with his latest album, Volcanic Sunlight. Williams has always incorporated elements of rock into his work, but this piece moves into a terrain more seemingly influenced by mainstream dance pop music (the synth stabs in “Look to the Sun” emphasize this). I have to wonder [...]]]></description>
