Over a backdrop of Wurlitzer guitar, organs and the occassional flourish of trumpet and trombone, Hayden’s cracked Jeff Teedy-esque vocals reveal sad stories of Northern Ontario while an uptempo rhythm guitar places him above and beyond his navel-gazing peers. Some credit for tone must go to producer Howie Beck, whose most recent album sounded like Elvis Costello meets the Beach Boys. While Hayden has worked alone for the past eleven years, Beck’s contribu- tions lend many of the break-up songs a toe-tapping, jukebox appeal. It takes a special talent to sing about “filling a room with sadness,” in a voice which suggests a smile on the musician’s face. Hayden may be pissed-off and beaten, but he’s too wry to simply be sad. A third of the album has a pronounced country and western feel. Backed up on several tracks by members of Oshawa’s Cuff the Duke, saloon ballads like Never “Lonely” are given a kick in the torn denim pants thanks to steel guitars, keyboard and trombone.

Cuff the Duke singer Wayne Petti joined the band onstage, adding his sweet-toned vocals to the harmonious mix. A tale of love between a city girl and a country boy. Cuddy, Keelor, Donovan and Cripps have all released solo albums, and Glenn Milchem performs his own solo music under the pseudonym "the swallows". I love being in that space of writing songs so I just keep writing them. On songs like the excellent Waiting For the World, Sheba, Arizona, In My Bones, the fragile soulfulness of the best country- folk shines through as acoustic guitars, pedal steels and violins pluck at your heartstrings.

  • The Rocket Swing – Recensies
    Diftong – The Rocket Swing – Recensies ----------------------------------------------------------- 1 Betuwse poëet reist af naar Nova Scotia. 29-1-2015 Lucky Dice nieuwsbrief - Sandra Zuidema - http://www.luckydice.nl/ Achter de naam Diftong schuilt de vriendelijke Betuwse poëet Hans Willers, een bescheiden, maar wel zeer gepassioneerde muziekliefhebber die alles wat hij mooi vind stilletjes in zich op heeft genomen en heeft samengesmolten met de verhalen en herinneringen die door zijn hoofd heen zwierven. Over een oude bus, een tattoo, een schommel in de vorm van een raket en het te vroeg heengaan van een familielid maar ook een eerbetoon aan de beroemde dichter Dylan Thomas. Tijdens zijn fanatieke zoektochten naar meer mooie muziek raakte hij bevriend met veel muzikanten vaak ook uit verre oorden. Twee van die muzikale vrienden Dale Murray en Christina Martin boden hem aan in Nova Scotia op te komen nemen en dus toog Hans naar het Maritieme Canadese schiereiland waar hij Rocket Swing opnam omringt door de muzikale talenten van zijn Canadese vrienden op gitaar, lapsteel, viool en vocale harmonieën. Je kunt er invloeden in horen van Tom Waits, The Gourds, 16 Horsepower en meer. Het is de verzamelde passie tot uiting gebracht door de muzikant en poëet Diftong en zijn liedjes dicht bij zijn hart. 2 Diftong – The Rocket Swing 14-1-015 muziekis.nl - http://muziekis.nl/singer-songwriter/diftong-the-rocket-swing/ Het is oktober 2009. Een regenachtige avond en een klein zaaltje, ik maakte voor het eerst kennis met de Nederlandse singer-songwriter Diftong, die dagelijks als Hans Willers door het leven gaat. Dat eerste optreden van Diftong was, om eerlijk te zijn, voor mij niet direct een reden om de man in mijn muziekliefhebbershart te sluiten en hem verder te volgen.

  • City Gives $1 Million for Arena
    worry ended By Jessica Smith Chronicle Staff Following days of anxious waiting for students and faculty alike, a tentative settlement between college faculty and management was reached, hours before the strike deadline.

  • Llh.:I 9T Jaqwai\ON- 6 Jaqwaaon I Ot-6H WEEKLY DISPATCH
    Photo: John Packman 139-10 I November 9- November 16 FREE llH.:I 9t Jaqwai\ON- 6 JaqwaAON I Ot-6H WEEKLY DISPATCH This week has been the most important week of the year for the student movement. From November 4 t~ to lOtb , Mike Tipping, VP Education and I are in Ottawa at our federal lobby group, the Canadian Alliance of Student Association's (CASA) annual Lobby Conference. For the week, the eighteen member schools of CASA as well as eight provincial partners and five observer schools are meeting with over 140 members of Parliament, the Senate, and senior bureaucrats. This is the third consecutive year that this conference has taken place and in the past two days we have seen the benefits of this consistent pressure for changes to the post secondary education system in Canada . For the first time, members of the Bloc have expressed support for a Pan-Canadian Accord and dedicated transfer. This is a huge step for a party dedicated to ensuring special deals for Quebec on any Pan­ Canadian issue. We have also seen the New Democratic Party agree that the money that the Canadian Millennium Scholarship Foundation provides to students must stay in the system, and that the Foundation is probably the most efficient way to deliver that money directly to students. This again is an example of what CASA has been able to do to shift the policies of a party. The NDP has consistently denounced the foundation since its inception . Tuesday saw the culmination of CASA's media stunt . The picture below shows a map of Canada made up of the paper feet that students across the country have been signing since September.
