As you’ll see above, there is a category called “Steals”, which is just where we’ll store the good deals we find on music on the internet. I wanted “Deals”, but brock won out, and I think both are terrible. Anyone have a suggestion? This section of the site is just a taste of what you’ll see on Sixtywatt.

(edit: The News category won out after all.) 

I love Jenny Lewis, as I’m sure you all do. While I prefer her folky stuff with those religious twins, Rilo Kiley will do for my fix.

I Just saw on Insound that you can Preorder the new cd and get a bonus 7″ featuring one album track and one b-side. Buy it here.

We are a bit slow in our first weekend.. brockmasterflex is moving all his shit from one side of Montreal to the other, and I’m just generally drained and hungover. But I have saved some energy for you folks (…if we actually have any readers yet)

I’m sure a lot of you know who Will Oldham is, but for those that don’t, he is a man of many aliases. These days he mainly goes by Bonnie “Prince” Billy. He has a voice filled with emotion and nuance and I would highly recommend to those unfamiliar and interested with him to pick up “I See A Darkness” and go from there. Here is a video of a cover song called “Same Love Made Me Laugh Made Me Cry”. It really showcases his beautiful voice and weird movements.  Check it out here.

And for something very different, Zack Galifianakis & Will Oldham have teamed up and formed a great acting pair for Kanye West’s new video “You Can’t Tell Me Nothin’”. Check it out at Kanye’s site.

I’m sure many of you are aware of the great torrent site, oink.cd (Formerly oink.me.uk). Well, it’s an invite only tracker and I’ve been building up a few of them, so the first 5 people to post their email addresses in the comments will get them (and I’ll delete the posts immediately after).

Update: The invites are gone. There will be more posted here as time goes by, so please keep checking with us.

Spoon - Live on KCRW
To start a post about Spoon, I feel obligated to mention that they are Austin’s finest indie rockers. Never have I seen so much focus on where a band is from. Anyway, I don’t really have a point here, so I will get to the music.

The band has taken a little heat for “You Got Yr Cherry Bomb” sounding like some other tune by a band from Nashville that no one has ever heard of. Count me in the “who gives a fuck” camp.. It’s the folk tradition and since Bob Dylan made it cool, everyone is realizing they can swing it, too.

Here is a great set from KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic. To download all of our links, just right-click and “save link/target as”.

1. Intro
2. Rhythm & Soul
3. Don’t Make Me A Target
4. The Underdog
5. They Never Got You
6. Interview
7. Don’t You Evah
8. The Beast & Dragon Adored
9. You Got Your Cherry Bomb
10. Black Like Me

A couple of months ago the Handsome Furs had a CD release party at Club Lambi in Montreal, and I posted them on some shitty blog. But that blog is dead (not rural). As a tasty treat for new visitors to Trendwhore, here is the entire set from said release party, and if you are wondering…. it’s IPod ready.

1. What We Had
2. Hearts of Iron
3. Cannot Get Started
4. Handsome Furs Hate This City
5. Snakes on the Ladder
6. Dead + Rural
7. The Radios Hot Sun
8. Dumb Animals
9. Sing! Captain
10. Heaven
11. You Got Lucky (Tom Petty Cover)

Just a side note, to anyone of you lucky enough to live in Montreal or plan on traveling to Montreal anytime soon the Handsome Furs will be playing Sala Rossa August 1st. Don’t miss it!

In the beginning, it was nothing more than a simple idea. “Hey, let’s start a blog and take over the world” said a young brockmasterflex.

ryantheduke nodded.

Then after months of laziness they finally got around to their idea. We present to you, trendwhore.ca - the blog with no real focus. We’re just gonna talk about anything and everything that we love about music: concert video/audio, vinyl, traveling, side projects, leaks.. You know, all that shit you love too.

Certainly planned on writing more for an opening post, but I’ve got a killer toothache, and that’s just terrible, innit?
