Recent music bloggery: Sigur Ros and such

A few recent contributions to Montreal music blog Bandmark, now that I remember to link them here. Bandmark exposes me to a lot of new material in addition to giving me the opportunity to write about a few favourites like Boards of Canada and Sigur Rós. Plus, my editors enjoy alliteration and terrible puns as much as I do.

This is what a designer who needs a mental break gets up to on a stormy Sunday afternoon. Because I'm the kind of person who wonders about such things, I got to thinking: What if some of my favourite '80s musicians had the same aesthetic as the big butt-rock boys of the day? The answer to that question is a few patches I wouldn't be ashamed to sew into my Canadian tuxedo.
