Heavy Trash review and photos by Julz Finley

New Black Keys Stream
Check out the new Black Keys steam for You’re The One. The guys slow it down a lot in this song making the track fantastic background music for a slo-mo flock of flying wild geese.

Hidden Cameras mp3 and Video
Toronto’s Hidden Cameras just released a new orch-pop LP called, Awoo that was recorded at the Gas Station on Toronto Island. Here’s an mp3 from the album called, Death of a Tune.
The Video for Awoo has a scary, dark, woodsy, Blair Witch setting to it. Except for when the fireworks, sparklers and overall gayness kick in during the chorus. Close to a perfect video indeed.
