Canada.
DJ since Jan 16, 2009 
tac
My first blip. I don't know what I'm doing, but I love this song.
tac
Makes me dance in my cubicle.
tac
Love the soulful voice and handclaps.
tac
I sense a theme in the songs I'm picking tonight... stuff that sounds like a past decade, but also clearly modern.
tac
This might help me wake up.
tac
Shiva opens her arms
tac
Saw them in concert, they were GREAT.
tac
Just let me take a trip someplace...
tac
Thanks @futurebiblehero, I've only recently heard about Jens and have been wanting to listen to more of his stuff. Here's another current fav song!
tac
I love how at some points, you hear this sound like the wood of an old-school rollercoaster creaking.
tac
I am powerless to resist handclaps.
tac
One of the best song titles EVER.
tac
Cover of a song written by his dad (Loudon Wainwright III). Rufus' is better.
tac
I'm listening to kexp right now, which is playing this, and I couldn't resist blipping it.
tac
I never get tired of listening to this song, @shootingstar, it is so beautiful. Have you heard some of the other versions on youtube? Check 'em out.
(reblip)
tac
I don't imagine I'll see any rain for a few months, but I like this song.
tac
In the morning, all I could do was sing.
tac
... smile all the time.
tac
this song makes me cry.
tac
AV used to be my house-mate, and he would write impromptu songs while watching 90210. Now he's a real musician, who rocks for reals.
tac
harmony. whistling. ukulele. xylophone. enough said.
tac
More great percussion and happy melodies.
tac
I love the name "Lloyd".
tac
Love this song title (and song).
tac
The video for this song is great.
tac
Pretty but sad (and no, not all of his songs are sad! But this one is.)
tac
KEXP has this NZ band in heavy rotation right now.
tac
Learn to sing along and languish here.
tac
I've got bad intention, I intend to knock you down.
tac
Catchy story of family ties.
tac
She don't use butter. She don't use cheese.
tac
. . .
tac
Locals (to me).
tac
He can't understand that he's not in command.
tac
@notgoth007 said: One of the most perfect songs ever. ever. ever. EVER. I say: YES, SO TRUE.
(reblip)
tac
I got the wanderin' blues.
tac
His machinations and his palindromes.
tac
Drunk on the lawn in a nuclear dawn, my senses finally blurred.
tac
Fun drums.
tac
I'll try to remember always just to have a good time.
tac
Elliott Smith: I'll fake it through the day with the help of some Johnny Walker Red.
tac
Walk away in 3/4 time.
tac
I saw him do this live once. This kid has FAST FINGERS and incredible timing.
tac
If it's your decision to be open about yourself, be careful or else.
tac
and everything seems to have gone terribly wrong that can / but one breath at a time is an acceptable plan
tac
He made his life a lie So he might never have to know anyone
tac
I'm so tired, I wish I was the moon tonight.
tac
too much biography between us
tac
Dance dance revolution.
tac
Bob Dylan cover.
tac
Come on skinny love, just last the year.
tac
Reblipped from @redroulettes: now it's early in the morning, at the longitude of memphis, and the sun is setting sweetly on hong kong
(reblip)
tac
Dancing with both feet in the sink.
tac
I'm in love with the world, through the eyes of a girl, who's still around the morning after.
tac
I used to think I was some kind of gypsy boy, before I let you take me home.
tac
love.
tac
Love the groove of this song.
tac
There's a great version of this song on one of the KCRW Morning Becomes Eclectic CDs (couldn't find it to blip though).
tac
I love this song. Plus - it reminds me of when I was younger and in a band called "Skin". I was the band's oboe player.
tac
Booo, the Feist live version of this has disappeared from the blip vaults.
tac
What might have been lost.
tac
I'm countin' down the hours, I'm countin' up the days.
tac
Let me get what I want this time.
tac
So melodramatic, but good.
tac
Maybe?
tac
Fans of "The West Thing" should recognize this awesome song.
tac
Time, time, time.
tac
oooohhhhh, woah-oh.
tac
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good. I think this is my favourite song right now. I listen to it almost every day.
tac
You walk that way, I'll walk this way. So simple but beautiful.
tac
I think I actually like this *better* than the original, which almost never happens.
tac
This dude's Canadian, so I don't know if you folks are very likely to have heard this. But it's pretty darn catchy.
tac
Some very clever person put this video together for this song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkjsBTf21FY
tac
Wanna be better than oxygen.
tac
I wanna do what pleases me, but I can't.
tac
make me feel tongue-tied.
tac
Hope you enjoy your day off, @DailyNoise, I'm jealous, although I'm kind of having a "day off" while still being present in my cubicle.
(reblip)
tac
She says wake up, it's no use pretending.
tac
Cover of the Magnetic Fields.
tac
Give me a week or two to go absolutely cuckoo.
tac
It feels so good, it's like walking on glass.
tac
If I didn't know the difference living alone'd probably be OK, it wouldn't be lonely.
tac
With my toes dangling into the sea...
tac
I LOVE this. Great lyrics. The intro of electro touches as the song progresses is great. This dude publishes his songs here: http://www.golampo.com/
tac
Go on and lose the gamble, that's the history of the trade; did you add up all the cards left to play to zero, and sign up with evil Angeles?
tac
Like an ancient day, and I'm on trial.
tac
For awhile I sat there staring at the photograph; for awhile I cried and tried not to make a scene.
tac
So good.
tac
Better stop before it goes too far.
tac
I really gotta.
tac
Great band name.
tac
Yellow is the colour of my true love's crossbow.
tac
Got this from my favourite music blog: http://theblisslist.org/
tac
Castlemusic - You Can't Take Anyone
tac
When you look into the darkness, you're looking in my eyes.
tac
I can already picture myself doing some cubicle dancing tomorrow to this one. (p.s., is anyone out there? did everyone have blip crash on them?)
tac
I like the word "clang".
tac
Great song title. Great song.
tac
Tall buildings shake, voices escape.
tac
Nice @aimlowkid; you have lots of good blips that I'm mining, but haven't blipped in months and months and months!
(reblip)
tac
Can't turn back down time.
tac
Songs in 5/4 time <--- lol, I'm a total sucker for songs in weird time signatures, @shootingstar
(reblip)
tac
@Will_the_bloke -- at some point in the mid-90's, I could not stop listening to this song.
(reblip)
tac
I tremble, they're gonna eat me alive if I stumble.
katesnowbird
alloo @GR8FL, nice to meet you @tac... the only hand claps here are in the band's name, but they do use tambourine and that's almost as good.
tac
but this won't stay, yeah i confess that i am not what you have guessed <-- reblipped from @whalebones
(reblip)
tac
Eric Elbogen, D.I.Y. rockstar. : ) <-- @DJFrankie, I love Say Hi, the name shouldn't have been changed. "Say Hi To Your Mom" = best name ever!
(reblip)
tac
OMG, @deadbeatJONES -- I totally forgot about this song, but it really brings me back to high school. SO GOOD
(reblip)
tac
@shootingstar: 7/4 time (I think!?)
tac
Of the Rheostatics - Best Canadian Band ever (although hugely under-rated). Martin Tielli's solo stuff is great, but mostly un-findable on blip.
tac
Never was a cornflake girl, thought that was a good solution.
tac
When the green dark forest was too silent to be real.
tac
Did you blippers know that a search for "Beatles" these days bring us NO search results?
tac
All hands on deck now, the sea is getting rough again.
tac
awesome -- Miles Davis, "Four", covered.
tac
she's so far away... she makes my head spin around. <-- reblipped from @MapleLeaves, nice.
(reblip)
tac
@TheWeekInSound -- enjoying yoru covers of "The Swimming Song"; this is my fav LWIII song.
tac
Used to great effect in the recent Gus Van Sant movie Paranoid Park: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0842929/
tac
we all get up and we all get down... and we all get stuck, but we come around. <-- reblipped from @handstamp
(reblip)
tac
The WHISTLING!!
tac
@whistlin_indie 's very first blip - nice (#3) - nice mining of the archives, @CoSlive!
(reblip)
tac
@clarkowitz, awwww thanks for the kind words, I'm blushing. Glad to hear that you're having a spectacular day!
tac
I should sure think so.
tac
Every town is all the same.
tac
another excellent artist from Canada <--- yeah, we seem to do that a lot lately, @takethesongsandrun! ;)
(reblip)
tac
3/4 time and handclaps - my favourite combination.
tac
I love the cover of the album Rook so much: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/3d/Shearwater_rook.jpg
tac
Been watching too many NMH videos on youtube -- Jeff Mangum is a really great live performer, wow.
tac
Jeff Mangum = Neutral Milk Hotel
tac
Obsessed with NMH today, big time.
tac
Everyone I know is acting weird or way too cool, they hang out by the pool. So I just read a lot and ride my bike around the school.
tac
Hear what I say, my feet want to move, so get outta my way.
tac
Yea, like this one. I heard this isn't typical of the new album, but I'm ok with that. <-- me too, @deadcowaroma
(reblip)
tac
I said be careful his bowtie is really a camera.
tac
Stupid acting smart.
tac
Video for this song is so great. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dN0A0ZSfnj4
tac
This little girl breaks furniture, this little girl breaks laws.
tac
Joining the Lush party! @Will_the_bloke, @sanderschenk, @redroulettes
tac
I don't wanna. I don't think so.
tac
I am listening to hear where you are.
tac
Howlin' hallelujah.
tac
she watch, she watch, she watch, she watch, she watch, she watch, she watch, she watch, she watch, she watch, she watch, she watch, she watch...
tac
rb from @clarkowitz. Nighty-night, blipsters. This blipper watched too much Battlestar Galactica tonight and stayed up way past her bedtime!
(reblip)
tac
is sleepy. This song'll help.
tac
Sounds like Beirut to me. Is there some actual connection?
tac
via @DJFrankie--I like it <-- me too, @jtabz. More than the original. Or maybe I'm just sick of the original.
(reblip)
tac
love the song title.
tac
I'm talking to myself at night, 'cause I can't forget.
tac
More Arthur & Yu for @1indienation and @evablue
tac
Last one to bring me back to the reading I'm trying to get done.
tac
@deadcowaroma - It's so unlike your recent chatty story-telling blips. But, you know, still funny anyway, so that didn't change.
(reblip)
tac
@deadcowaroma - your blips are always so funny; so I went back to look at your early ones, and was surprised!
(reblip)
deadcowaroma
@tac That's what I refer to my "Blank" period, similar to Picasso's "Blue" period. The work drew from different inspirations, but I'm happy with it.
tac
Nice laid-back song for the morning.
tac
[Boys and girls in cars. Dogs and birds on lawns.] Welcome to blip, @DJrainndietrichwilson. Love your twitterings, especially your feud with that cat.
(reblip)
tac
Someday I'm gonna draw from the left side of my brain.
tac
The Tune-yards song "fiya" used to be on here, but now it's gooooone.
tac
A pure sythetic sympathy that infuriates you totally.
tac
I'm blipping myself out of a half-asleep stupor so I can get back to work!
tac
Oh way oh-oh woah-oh.
tac
Good evening everyone. I'm intermittently working (boooo) and blipping when I get the urge. Right now I'm really enjoying this track from @clarkowitz.
(reblip)
tac
vi@penfabulous. I'm pretty sure "say hi to your mom" would make at least my top five band names of the moment.
(reblip)
tac
When I'm about to crazy, 'cause I'm still living here, I just get my friends together and we dance, dance, dance.
tac
le francais est bon dans cette chanson.
tac
My feet are cold.
tac
[Pretty, poppy and wispy] Hope you're having a good day, @DJDirtyPrincess, and getting lots of sleep!
(reblip)
tac
Well, hallelujah.
tac
I got my car fixed today. I had been putting it off since January. I've only used 1/2 a tank since then 'cause I've been walking everywhere!
tac
I need a cup of tea.
tac
Except my "office" is really a cubicle.
tac
one two three four take the elevator
tac
I see ya girls, checking out the front of my trunks.
tac
Reblipped from @deadcowaroma. I keep forgetting to blip My Morning Jacket, even though I really like them.
(reblip)
tac
[Bands I only know because of Blip #1] Good idea for a theme, @purplesime. Wish I could join in instead of working. But this song is good background.
(reblip)
tac
[If the Shins and Sufjan Stevens had a lovechild who lived in a mossy house with a butler played by Bon Iver.] nice one, @DJrainndietrichwilson
(reblip)
tac
Nice, @dickadcock! I'm willing to have this theory tested, but I don't think it's possible to do a bad cover of this song, it's just so good.
(reblip)
tac
For the record, I'm in favour of the oxford comma. It just makes sense!
tac
Reblipped from @jtabz. Hi too to @succexy @by_starla @photogurrl @scound @CoSlive @DJFrankie @Fated @curatEar @daretoeatapeach @redroulettes @TaraAtx
(reblip)
tac
Reblipeed from @daretoeatapeach. Hi to @katesnowbird, @MsRedPen, @truk77, @farkus, @chiquilima5. OK, that ends my brief afternoon work break.
(reblip)
tac
[More Elliott Smith.] Been out haunting the neighbourhood, and everbody can see I'm no good.
tac
RB@TheWeekInSound. I like this band, but for some reason, liked them a little less when I found out Matthew McConaughey is related to the singer.
(reblip)
tac
@TheWeekInSound, I just checked out your website, heard this, and stole it from you ;)
tac
There is a dearth of Belly songs on blip, but at least a few TD solo live versions. Not quite he same though. And I really wanted to hear Gepetto. BOO
tac
I could do without the sax interludes (not a fan of the sax interlude), but I defy you not to bop your head.
tac
I hate that cellware ad more than any other ad, maybe EVER. It is so obnoxious.
tac
Last one of the night. I have to go drink some tea and watch an episode of Battlestar Galactica before bed (down to the last three of the series, sob)
tac
Nice song, @deadcowaroma. Never heard of Manitoba before (the band, the prov. I've even been to!). Will definitely check out more MB (band, not prov)
(reblip)
tac
Woke up with this song in my head, still hasn't gone away, so I'm gonna blip many covers & see if it'll purge from my brain or get deeper engrained.
tac
This one's kind of interesting. I like the singer's voice. But dropping the strong 3/4 strumming really changes the feel. It's OK though.
tac
kinda like this one, but I dunno, it's not all that original a cover.
tac
He only sings when he's sad, and he's sad all the time so he sings the whole night through, yeah he sings in the daytime too.
tac
blah, blah blah blah blah blah blohm blah blohm. hilarious.
tac
Spreadin' the vibe all over the world.
tac
OooooOOOooo, now I see what you all mean about the expanded library, YAY!
tac
Cruel imagination, still giving me pain.
tac
My fav vers of this song.
tac
How come I can pick my ears but not my nose?
tac
You can really hear the genius of the chord choices in this acoustic version.
tac
Canadian band, somewhat popular song in my undergrad years, *finally* available on blip!!!!
tac
This is one of those songs that brings me right back to a certain moment in time.
tac
These two are pretty impressive live. Saw them for free a few summers ago.
tac
Now defunct Montreal band, who put on some of the best live shows I've ever seen.
tac
Well this is not a good sign.
tac
Blip suggestion from my coworker.
tac
This song is undeniably cheesy, but I love it anyway.
tac
The festival is called "Bluesfest", although 90% of the bands they get I wouldn't classify as Blues. For example, Okkervil River.
tac
I guess Neko Case is *kinda* blues-ish. But not really.
tac
It's a really, really great line-up this year, whether "Bluesfest" is the most appropriate name or not.
tac
It's especially great 'cause we don't get a lot of good shows where I live. We're between Montreal and Toronto, and they get all the good shows.
tac
It's pretty expensive to get a pass, but for two whole weeks of bands I never get to see, it might be worth it.
tac
When I saw that "The National" was in this year's line-up, that pretty much sealed my plans.
tac
@mistastaples -- YOU'RE A GENIUS. I didn't even know volunteering was possible. Done deal!
(reblip)
tac
Awwww. Sufjan Stevens song from his college days, where he imagines Sofia Coppola as his secret confidante.
tac
Great video. Check it out.
tac
Hey all you liars, hey hey.
tac
I want to play guitar this well.
tac
Wish I could have found the studio version, but this live version has better sound quality than most.
tac
Pretty & melancholy; matches the rainy day we're having here today.
tac
It's really darn windy here today.
tac
... improved by Rufus.
tac
This is really just good advice, generally.
tac
Long time no see blippers! I was away helping my mom move. She has no internet access. Weird, eh?
tac
I can't believe I'll get to see these guys this summer. They're one of my favs at the moment for sure.
tac
Is blip acting glitchy for just me or everyone? Sometimes it only shows me blips that were blipped hours ago!
tac
So, I've been away from blip for awhile, and I'm confused about some msgs I'm seeing saying it's now bad to use imeem songs? Why?
tac
This makes me weepy. Proof that it's a huge mistake to cut arts funding in schools.
tac
tac dreams of grass and trees and sun, while ibi dreams of pavement.
tac
This video blows my mind. Those are some fast, nimble fingers.
tac
bellies wild with discontent.
tac
Prognosis that was hopeless from the very first domino.
tac
g'day blippers!
tac
I could hold hold out for now.
tac
Love the drums and accordion (I think that's an accordion??)
tac
All of my credits disappeared :(
tac
I'm in love with this video (song is called "Un Día" / "One Day")
tac
In a coffeeshop in a city, that is every coffeeshop in every city.
tac
Oh we're so very precious you and I, and everything that you do, makes me want to die. Oh, I just told the biggest lie.
tac
Couched in our indifference.
tac
You're such a gentle beast. You never got tough, like I got tough.
tac
You've got the key to my heart, you've got the PIN to my guts.
tac
I love this cover of a lesser known Bob Dylan song.
tac
More Dylan. Full Title = "Talkin' Bear Mountain Picnic Massacre Blues" = Awesome
tac
Give the people something they understand.
tac
I want to learn to play the guitar like this.
tac
The crap thing is that within the next 24 hrs before my job is done, I have to write a chapter for a law text. It's not gonna happen.Too unmotivated.
tac
Lack of motivation is pretty obvious -- I'm on blip instead of working!
tac

tac
You can download the Fanfarlo album + 4 bonus tracks for a measley $1 until July 4: http://fanfarlo.com
tac
Thanks @DJFrankie!
tac
No cares, no worries.
tac
Good morning @mammara, @28apple_chic, @eliott_is_dead, @jtdman and everyone else too!
tac
So pretty.
tac
You'll take advantage till you think you're being used....
tac
He'll tell his tale the way he'd like it told.
tac
I am leaving ... to have some tea then go to bed. Night blipsters.
tac
I thought I'd be sick of this song by now, but I'm totally not.
tac
I can't lift you up, my mind is tired.
tac
Picked the vid version 'cause it shows the album cover, which I love.
tac
Every day, the bluebird comes down and stares at me for hours, can't figure out, if he brings me luck, or if he's trying to tear me down.
tac
What do you do with the pieces of a broken heart? (such a beautiful video, one of my favs of all time).
tac
Shake Shake Shake
tac
Woke like a tree full of bees.
tac
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! -- Is This Love?
tac
We're half awake.
tac
She appears composed, so she is, I suppose.
tac
I arrive through a window, I leave through a hole in the wall.
tac
I was supposed to work on my thesis today. Instead, I spent the whole day in my PJs playing around on blip.
tac
I like your questioning eyebrows.
tac
shuffling your deck of trick cards....
tac
Morning @paeix, @Ubqtous, @Will_the_bloke, @jtabx, @morros, @livtiludi, @TMCPhoto
tac
I love the way this song builds and changes as it progresses. Plus, I can never resist the charm of songs in 3/4 time.
tac
Make of that what you will.
tac
I love the way this song builds.
tac
I'm begging you to get up and dance, it's such a crazy kick-ass beat.
tac
Show me the side streets in your life.
tac
Covering Bob.
tac
Her name is Yoshimi
tac
I hate apartment hunting, especially in a city I've never even been to.
tac
we brave bee stings and all
tac
RB @everythingispop -- I like this, not sure if I've heard this band before, but glad that I have now!
(reblip)
tac
I need to stop blipping and.....
tac
Fighters for liberty, fighters for power, fighters for longer turns in the shower.
tac
I'm going to go home and play this song on my guitar now. At the moment, I'm sitting in a coffee shop, "working on my thesis" (= playing on blip).
tac
Drink up baby.
tac
We expecting something, something better than before
tac
Saw this band play live last weekend -- pretty amazing show (this is a Leonard Cohen cover).
tac
[Girlyman - Everything's Easy] Saw this band open for Po' Girl on the weekend, they were pretty good. I love the overlapping use of verses at the end.
tac
surprises always help
tac
Stevie Nicks & Lindsay Buckingham - acoustic version.
tac
I'm gonna drive from Ottawa to Yellowknife, over seven days. I'm taking suggestions for things to see in between :)
tac
Royal Wood played in Yellowknife this summer. So, at least a few indie bands make their way north.
tac
@deadcowaroma: tentatively, Sault Ste. Marie, Thunder Bay, Winnipeg, Regina, Edmonton, High Level, Yellowknife.
tac
What's wrong with Medicine Hat, @deadcowaroma? I'll be missing that, but hitting North Battleford.
tac
I think I'll put this on my week-long-drive playlist.
tac
Don't complicate my peace of mind.
tac
Hi @by_starla, 'doin good, thanks for asking! Getting ready for a big move across the country, really excited! How are you doing?
tac
I started a new job last week, and blip is blocked. CRY.
tac
Happy Friday, blippers.
tac
Future butterfly.
tac
My favourite cover of this song. So sweet!
tac
I get the news I need on the weather report.
tac
I feel like I should be sick of this song, but I'm not.
tac
It's all now to you, there ain't no before.
tac
Shoop.
tac
Trumpet has obviously been drinking.
tac
Had a lot of things to say; had a lot of points to make.
tac
How the notes all bend and reach above the trees.
tac
Ani Difranco - Gravel (dunno what that "Franimal" label is all about).
tac
Sunshine's been keeping me up for days
tac
Cut this picture into you and me....
tac
Grrr, last one was only beginning of song.
tac
Remember the time you drove all night, just to meet me in the morning?
