Sweet Static

Yes, another mp3 blog. Trying to share what I like with the world. The music here is for sampling only and are up for a limited time. It's simple really you see. If you like the music then go out and support the artists. Buy a cd/mp3/eight track, make a request on radio, see them live, tell others about it. This way this wonderful medium hopefully won't be stomped on.

Location: Windsor, Ont, Canada

Sweet Static is an mp3 blog that allows me to share the music I love and also to point out other cool things around the internet that catch my attention. It is also a place where I can talk about my radio show by the same name, now on Thursday nights from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm on CJAM 91.5 FM in Windsor, Ontario. Got something I should hear? Email me at sweetstatic @ gmail.com. All comments left here are emailed to my inbox, so you can get a hold of me that way also. You can also follow the show/me on twitter at sweetstaticcjam.

Ruth Minnikin Playing In Windsor This Friday

A show that I'm really excited about seeing happens this Friday at Phog in Windsor as Ruth Minnikin is coming to town. She'll be joined on the bill by Ron Leary, Reels and The Good Lovelies.

I was first introduced to her when she played in The Guthries and their album Off Windmill remains a favorite of mine to this day. To be honest I haven't really checked out much of her solo stuff other then the album Marooned and Blue but I've always liked her voice. I'm really looking forward to the show.

Here's a song courtesy of her Sonic Bids website

Also here's an older track from The Guthries featuring Ruth Minnikin on Media Fire

Flight Of The Conchords

I have a confession to make. I was slow and I can't believe how slow I was. Flight Of The Conchords have been around for a bit but I've only got into them in the last couple of weeks. I love this band and the show. Like I said I'm coming to this late but I still wanted to share it.

Here are a couple of videos, first for one of my favorite songs, "The Most Beautiful Girl (In the Room)"



Next their great hip hop song, "Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenoceros"



And of course Sub Pop is always good about putting up mp3s to sample so here is one from them.

Flight Of The Conchords-"Business Time"
