Plane Ticket has put a new song online for y’all to enjoy to commemorate their 1000th Facebook follower. I don’t think there’s a reason why you wouldn’t listen to this nice piece of classic indie rock right away.

I feel somewhat attracted by bands with the word ‘ghost’ in their names. Ghost Lights, the musical project of the Canadian songwriter Noah Cebuliak is no exception. The music on his debut EP, Saltwater, reminds me of another Montréal-based notorious songwriter, Patrick Watson. I’ll let you decide if that’s something worth acheving, but let’s say it is. Saltwater, through its luxurious instrumentation and arrangementscomplemented by Cebuliak’s clear, nice-sounding voice channels images of late winter nights spent in expensive cafés downtown we all wish we could afford. Well, you can now.

If you’re one of the lucky ones who got to see Jacob Faurholt live in Portugal earlier this year, you might be wondering what’s he up to these days. The good news is that he’s releasing a brand new EP, Geek Love is the Best Love – actually a Thurston Moore quote from his show Jacob attended in Guimarães, Portugal – next Monday on his own label Raw Onion Records. Expect a tape release soon. The great news is that you can already listen and download (for free) the six-track EP on his Bandcamp. Some of those songs were written while on tour through the westernmost part of the Iberian Peninsula. Probably in my own living room. I’d be really proud if someone got the inspiration to write such a song like “Guided by Voices” or “Northern Lights” while sitting on my couch. Wouldn’t you?
