Hey Cool Cats! The debut offering from Apollo Ghosts has arrived in my palms and I am giddy. A first prediction? I really think that these cats are going to go somewhere. Jangly guitars with good energy and clever songwriting = $5 dollar record that is selling like a Honey Badger on a Cobra. We meander through the Seattle indie rock scene and end up in California and play some work from the Jay/Megan collaborative team in Fine Mist and International Falls. It’s Pop Music From Around Here.

Welcome to another episode of Pop Music From Around There, courtesy of guest host and pal Sarah Vanpopta. There means the “Yours to Discover” Province. That means Ontario. If yours to discover means I need to do the leg work to discover just how great Ontario is, that sounds hard, and daunting, something I don’t have the energy to do. Fortunately Sarah takes us on a tour of her land, stopping in Guelph, Mississauga, Toronto and her hometown Hamilton and feeds us the best of each locale. New new new track from Zachary Aasman, songs courtesy of The D’ubervilles, Andre Charles Theriault and Allosaurus with a couple of Pop Music From Around Here mainstays as well.
