2012….The Year End List to end all Year End Lists

   Everyone does their year-end music lists but instead of boring you to tears with dissecting every record to death I thought I'd just mention a few records that came out in 2012 that moved me enough to give a second or third spin (sometimes even a fourth)…so here we go

Aaron Mangoff – "You and I"

Cold specks – "I Predict a Graceful Expulsion"

BidiniBand – "In The Rock Hall"

Diamond Rings – "Free Dimensional"

D-Sisive – "Jonestown 3: The Dream is Over"

Grimes – "Visions"

Indian Handcrafts – "Civil Disobedience For Losers"

Modern Superstitions – "Modern Superstitions"

PS I Love You – "Death Dreams"

Scott Cooper – "quiet company"

Yacht Club – "Nonnavera Mixtape"

Looking over my list I just noticed that they are all Canadian....what does that tell ya ?

Thanks to everyone that followed the Blog (even after the name change) this past year…I hope to take Sonic More Music farther in the coming year so look out you have been warned.

Diamond Rings new single I'm Just Me

      Here's the great new video from Diamond Rings called I'm Just Me. 
The single is from his forthcoming full-length co-produced by the Grammy-nominated Damian Taylor (Bjork, Robyn, Austra) due out later this year.

You can purchase the track from iTunes HERE

PS I LOVE YOU + DIAMOND RINGS-"LEFTOVERS"

     Every once in awhile I come across a track that sticks in my head and won't leave, this track by PS I LOVE YOU featuring Diamond Rings called "Leftovers" is one of those tracks. I really can't go into too much detail why it's won me over because I really don't know, maybe it's because I really dig both of the artists and for them to come together and put something out that's this good is just a real treat for all of us.

"Leftovers" is from a 7" released by Paper Bag Records...it can be found HERE.

Without further ado here is the video...and if you get a chance to check out either PS I LOVE YOU or Diamond Rings LIVE do it! you will not leave disappointed.
