Introduction

      On my ipod there is a list of songs that make the ipod far more valuable than it's market price. Over the years, I have compiled many rare and beautiful songs ranging from indie rock to underground hip-hop. Some sent to me by friends, others discovered in the late hours of the night while scouring the net. I have just under a thousand songs in this list, of which about 10% are popular songs. I think I've just about given up on the top 40 list. All the songs on the radio sound the same to me. Same drums. Same lyrics. Same autotuned chorus. 

I used to like the radio. I used to listen to the music force-fed to me by the industry. It was a time before music blogs and file sharing was popular and my only source of new music was the countdown on Muchmusic. But it all changed one day when my friend lent me 4 albums. The albums were K-os's "Exit" and "Joyful Rebellion", Tonedeff's debut album "Archetype" and Eminem's first album, "Infinite" which was sent to me online (it's incredibly hard to find a physical copy of it). Listening to these albums started a snowball effect and got me searching far and wide for great music that had somehow slipped the grasp of popular culture like these albums had once done.

I'm starting this blog to share some of the discoveries I've made throughout the years. Eventually, I hope to write news and album updates of my favorite artists as well as album reviews. I understand that music is subjective and don't expect you to like all or most of the artists I like. But perhaps while reading, my enthusiasm for these artists would give new insight into why anybody would like them and maybe you'll even learn to like a genre you thought you never would. After all, I’ve always believed that there is no such thing as good or bad music. There is only music you understand and music you don't understand. The latter can always be changed.

First post coming up soon.
