This is the first of what I hope will be a regular feature, a way to pimp music I’ve come across in the previous week. I doubt there will be too much in the way of reviews. A quick synopsis of what the group sounds like and a few links are what I’m aiming for.

So, first.

The Hot Rails – To Hell With The Hot Rails

I came across these guys on an unexpected trip to Mohawk Place Friday night.

Good for fans of:
Stooges-esque grungy rock & roll.

Aidan Baker – Liminoid/Lifeforms

One of these tracks was included in a recent Brainwashed podcast where it grabbed my ear. I couldn’t resist when I saw it on Emusic for the bargain price of 5 credits (2 bucks!).

Good for fans of: Earlier Do Make Say Think records, some Terry Riley stuff, the spacier moments of Godspeed You! Black Emperor
