Australian band The Temper Trap have blown up in the last year to become a favourite inspiring soundtrack for television shows, commercials, and a handful of recent romantic comedies. Commercialism aside, their sound is impactful and beautifully climatic. Here is one of my favourites, and their most popular. Sam is a Toronto Freelance Graphic Designer...
Check out this Super 8 style wedding video shot and edited by Sharkpig that features the oldies hit With a Girl Like You. Sharkpig is part of the awesomely rad collective known as The Flash Dance. I’m a huuuuuge fan of this group of artists. They make weddings so much cooler, which is what I’m...
This song by Grizzly Bear has been released for 2 full years now, but I still never skip it when it comes on my playlist. It’s that amazing. This wedding video by Pixelhead Studio uses the song beautifully to highlight a couple’s special day in Guam. Enjoy! Sam is a Toronto Freelance Graphic Designer and...

Well, summer is upon us and I wanted to post something to celebrate the sunshine. Another great video to match the song here, directed by one of my absolute favourite video artists, Spike Jonze. There is an alternative video for this song actually that features the band (Weezer) playing at a Mexican wedding. But it...
This one’s a triple threat from two different bands. These quirky and cheerful indie renditions of Daft Punk’s Digital Love have me dancing around the apartment and singing along loudly. Seriously… my cat would confirm this since I almost tripped over him with my happy dancing. Aphabeat’s acoustic version is my favourite, so I saved...
Beirut is the type of music I can listen to all summer long. It reminds me of far away places, waves crashing on beaches, sunshine and good company. There is something very… well, let me just quote Wikipedia since whoever wrote the article on the band there seemed to sum them up perfectly: “the music...
