PAT LEPOIDEVIN - The Unlucky Town from Mitch Fillion on Vimeo.
Well, I went and did it; I picked a web site as my Album of the Week. Are web sites the new LP? I dunno. I also don't know where that question was meant to lead us. The point is, I really wanted to spotlight the amazing work being done by Mitch Fillion on his astounding filmed music archive, SouthernSouls.ca, which features exclusive, beautifully rendered performances by independent Canadian artists.
If you want to see some of the best young musicians from this country--many of whom you're already familiar with if you spend any time around R3--performing in rather unusual settings and you have a few hours to kill, I'd check out Southern Souls. It really is an incredible feast for the ears and eyes. I can't get over how thoughfully these songs are captured and they sound incredible. It's inspired, inspiring, and is constantly being updated. If you like what you see, check the site out every week for the latest performances (like the one above of rising talent Pat LePoidevin, who just played a great set in Guelph last week).
What do you make of southernsouls.ca? Old or new, Canadian or otherwise, vinyl record or url address, what is YOUR album of the week?
