Notes this week:

• That scene in Once where they play that song for the first time is one of those movie scenes where you suddenly realize you haven't been breathing for a few minutes.  This movie might not change your life but it will come close;
• I haven't 100% loved Tim Vesely's Violet Archers project in the past but I 100% love that song;
• How fun is that Blue Seeds song you ask?  Funner than you, that's how fun!
• Someone who knows tons about tons told me last weekend that Justin Rutledge is poised to be one of Canada's greatest songwriters.  If you check out who played on his newest record, looks like a lot of people are in agreement with that -- Ron Sexsmith, Jim Bryson, Melissa McClelland, Oh Susanna, Hawksley Workman, Colin Cripps, Jenn Grant...
• The Priddle Concern:  Remember back when Treble Charger was a decent indie Canadian band? Before Bill Priddle bailed and handed the reigns over to Greg Niori who turned them into pop-punk mainstream ass-kissers?  Well, Bill's back with a solo effort and it kicks ass.  Thankfully, he capitalized on his Broken Social Scene dabblings and nabbed Amy Millan for some backup vocals as well as Brendan Canning and some others.  It's a really good record.   Yet another great export from Sault Ste Marie...
• Dear Matthew Barber:  You are super handsome.
