Yay, I knew you were out there. Request the first, from Dominic. Wonderful band, wonderful album, I loves me my Montreal bands. And yes I believe it is still available to be purchased, I got mine from MapleMusic. I cannot sing enough praise for this album, particularly the 10-minute long There Is No Such Thing As Love. Mark my words, if justice exists, The Dears are headed for much success and glory.

It may just be me, but I think my feedback has been declining as of late. Come on guys, tell me I'm awesome, tell me I suck, just tell me. Plus, I know you guys have requests. lostonpurpose@gmail.com

On a completely unrelated note, at the end of August, I will be moving to the nation's capital, Ottawa. Which means concerts will come to be instead of the other way around. Which means happy!
Dallas Green is the guitarist for Canadian screamsters, Alexisonfire. Deciding to depart as far away as he could from the angry yelling and maniacal jumping, City and Colour he became. Since you can't go anywhere in this country without hearing 'Save Your Scissors' at least 40 times daily, here's the rest.
Track List: 1. ...Off By Heart 2. Like Knives 3. Hello, I'm In Delaware 4. Save Your Scissors 5. In the Water I Am Beautiful 6. Day Old Hate 7. Sam Malone 8. Comin' Home 9. Casey's Song 10. Sometimes (I Wish)
I received a request for a Har Mar Superstar album, likely due to him being in the Road Trip mix and since I always try to meet my requests, particularly for those that I love myself, here you go. I absolutely adore this album, it's my favourite to blare in my car. No, I have not as of yet seen him live, but it is a goal of mine, as he's supposed to be phenomenal. His antics alone would be worth the ticket.
Track List: 1. Baby, Do you Like My Clothes? 2. I Can't Take It 3. I Admit 4. R-E-S-P-He-Sees-Me 5. Brand New Day 6. Girl, You're Stupid 7. Cry 4 Help 8. Let Me Use Your Ride 9. The Honorable Judge Har Mar 10. You Are the Sunshine in my Soul

Keep those road trip songs coming, people. Blogs are about input as much as output.
A very good friend of mine, Mr. Finian McKean, has been getting enough buzz around here that his first solo release, Shades are Drawn has been re-released in shiny new format. He's finally getting some well deserved attention, and I think everyone who hasn't already should hear this album. So I provide you with is a refresher course in Finn, who can be heard on college radios all over. Here are some samples, in case you missed it the first time.
Well, here I am at my landmark 50th post. I shall now throw confetti in the air and reflect while singing 'Memories.' And now that that's over
I'ma gonna be doing a lot of driving in the near future and have devised a master plan that's gonna require some audience participation. (I know how difficult it is, but do your best) I shall put together the first ever Lost on Purpose Road Trip Mix!!! I'm enthralled, aren't you? So think of your favourite song to drive anywhere to, whether it's to the store or to the other side of the country. Anything that makes the speedometer go up. I shall then post for all to see.

Sorry about my lack of posting lately, I know it makes baby Jesus cry. I've been extremely busy as of late, but once the smoke clears I'll get back at it. I'm still reeling from a comment I heard a few minutes ago ("Who are the Smiths?") so I'll probably post something from Morrissey and the gang once I get home, just to verify the awesomeness of them and the stupidity of people I know.
Now, the way everybody and their friends love this movie, I'm pretty sure I am the only person in this hemisphere that thought it was way too over-rated. Groundbreaking maybe, but just too damn long and draggy. Regardless of my boredom while watching the movie, the brilliant film score certainly held my attention. Acoustic guitar slays me every time. And I love Rufus Wainwright. S'got some pretty fantastic country acts on there too.
