Patrick Watson [The Great Escape]

pitchforkmedia seems surprised that patrick watson won the canadian polaris prize. i guess i am too... but only because it is probably the album i liked the most out of those eligible. to celebrate, three nice vids from patrick watson.

also the equestrian

ukelele session

pitchforkmedia has kept us busy with posts from La Blogothèque & their "take away show". the belgian le soir offers a slightly different take on that same idea, arming bands with a ukelele & sending them out for a stroll. the link above is to malajube but you will also find calexico there. i particularily liked those because joey burns and whatever the malajube singer's name is are essentially sent out walking without any trailing fans - it works especially well with malajube since the singer, well, looks like a bum (like all the young kids today!).

thanks to patrick for sending me the link...
