NXNE'08: Cancel Winter, Small Sins, The Mohawk Lodge
My show picks this year were mostly based on excellent recommendations from Pete Nema and Indie Music Filter, and of course a lot of myspace song sampling. Due to long lines and some torrential rain I was only able to check out 3 bands, but each of them was more impressive than the last. Show…

NXNE'08: Kakkmaddafakka, The I Spies, Hey Rosetta!, and Matt Mays & El Torpedo
It was Saturday night, and I was ready to check out Norway's kakkmaddafakka, Toronto's I Spies, Newfoundland's Hey Rosetta! and Dartmouth's Matt Mays & El Torpedo. It was day three of the NXNE festival and I felt fantastic about it, but I was also a little sorry that this would be the last…
