New Do Make Say Think Album – Out Today

Charles - Do Make Say Think

A great Canadian (largely instrumental) band has a new album out today! It's a band called Do Make Say Think and their new album is Other Truths and it's damn awesome. If you don't know this band you should get to know them. It is very mature post-rock which is energetic and fun. They have been around since 1995 and have released 6 full length albums.

Their live shows are absolutely incredible, they have tons of band members, it seems like 20 people on stage (although it states that they have 8 members in the band). It is really like watching a full orchestra.

You, You're a History in Rust is a fabulous album and has been under heavy rotation with me for the last 2 years. Here is a link to my favourite track off the album; The Universe!

Do Make Say Think - Other Truths

Unfortunately they are travelling Europe right now, and don't have any Ottawa shows booked for a while. They do have two shows in Montreal in November, and 2 shows in Toronto in December. If you get a chance to see them live do it! And for sure check out the new album.

Farewell DVD From The Creators of My 2nd Favourite Album

The Snake The Cross The Crown disbanded after a tour in 2007. This is somewhat cryptic information. It is not mentioned on Wikipedia, or on Last.fm, but there is something on Equal Vision Records Website, but not on their band profile. Before breaking up, the released my 2nd favorite album of all time: Cotton Teeth. I can't even think of what should be in my top 5, but I know that Cotton Teeth is number 2 (a band from Omaha released my number 1 album sometime in 2003).

Cotton Teeth - Tracklisting:

1. Cakewalk
2. The Great American Smokeout
3. Gypsy Melodies
4. Cotton Teeth
5. Electronic Dream Plant
6. Behold The River
7. Hey Jim
8. Floating In & Out
9. Maps
10. Back to the Helicopter

I was lucky enough to see TSTCTC back in Sept 2004, but unfortunately that was before they released cotton teeth. I am sad to have never seen them perform it live. Well I guess this is the closest I am going to get. They have released a tour DVD recorded on their last tour, and are releasing it along with some old unreleased tracks.

Here is a trailer for the movie. I am excited... but *sigh*
