In My Ears: Toro Y Moi 'Underneath the Pine'

I first got into Toro Y Moi last year through the strangest person I know, not surprisingly. Back then, they were at the vanguard of the so-called 'Chill Wave' scene, with synth-rock albums like 'Causers of This' and tracks like 'Blessa'. The latest album, produced only a little over a year later 'Causers', shows real growth from the group's producer, Chaz Bundick, as an artist capable of more than laptop pop. His latest effort falls more in the Beach House camp than the Neon Indian psychedelic smoke pit. Check out both 'Blessa' from the previous album and 'Good Hold' from the latest to see what a difference an album can make.

British-ism of the Week (23/02/09)

"Alright" (British saying) Similar to the previous British-ism, "alright" is a way of saying hello and asking how someone is doing packed into a single word. Although there are some folks who prefer saying the whole phrase, as in, "Are you alright?" In Canada, I'm used to saying and hearing the phrase "How's it going?" knowing that the person is just saying "hello". So it shouldn't have been too much of a surprise to hear, "Are you alright?" But something about the phrase crosses the realm of rhetorical greeting and lands in the realm of sincere, sympathetic question. I guess it's because I'm used to people asking "Are you feeling alright?" when someone looks depressed or upset. I say all this because the first few times I was asked, "Are you alright?" I had to take a look in the mirror to see if I'd gone pale. It didn't help that I had just moved to London and was feeling a bit ...

Write The Future - Nike

Once again Nike gets it right. This time for the 2010 World Cup. I haven't seen a sports ad that truly captures the impact of a game like this in years. The last campaign I can think of that comes close is the Sports Illustrated 'You may not get it, but our 6 millions subscribers do' campaign. That campaign may get an edge as it was a print campaign that managed to capture all the suspense and drama of sports without any live action, but you still have to give full credit to the way this ad covers every imaginable impact that the World Cup could have, even if it's a tad exaggerated, which is part of its charm. Still, I don't think Rooney will be living in a trailer if all goes awry in a month's time, but considering that the English love their footie like Canadians love our hockey, it's not completely impossible, unlike England winning the World Cup. Oops.
