I've said it before, but I must push this site again - Umbrella Music (www.umbrellamusic.com) is dedicated to the best of the Canadian indie pop scene, and the newly updated site is more streamlined and accessible than it used to be. There's some wonderful features up there right now, including a nice video interview with the Wild Strawberries about their wonderful new album, "Twist", plus a free download of a killer remix of their single "Wish". You can also see the entire video for their hit "Pretty Lip' if you haven't before... Lots of MP3s and videos from a bunch of excellent Canuck acts (check out the very pretty demo from Toronto duo Lost and Profound - they're now known as Red Suede Red and both musicians work at my [soon to be former ;)] office at NOW Magazine! :)), and Umbrella is working with other Canadian sites like MapleMusic.com and Chartattack.com to offer news and listings as well. Worth checking out to revisit some old favorites and discover some new ones! - - Tab :) _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Although it actually came out last year, it was only available at shows and through Sarah's website until now, so hopefully the brilliant "You Were Here" will reach many more ears now. Look for Sarah touring throughout the U.S. in Sept./Oct., opening for the likes of Billy Bragg and Great Big Sea. Rounder's offering "You Were Here" for the criminally low price of $9.98 (U.S., but still ;)) at their website (http://harp.rounder.com/). It's the most beautiful record you will hear all year, I guarantee it. There are no words to describe it. :-) - - Tab :) _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
