Today is a good day for Sebastien Grainger fans. Not only is the new single for "Who Do We Care For?" feature the new track "It's A Living" hit the digital download services, but my favorite Canuck has also released a video for each track. One a time consuming but insane act of genius while the other a video shot as the actual recording of the song was being laid down.

A musical project that has been quiet a while in the making is finally getting ready to make its debut. Character actor Adam Goldberg, who is most well known for his role in Dazed & Confused, heads LANDy with alittle help from members of The Flaming Lips, Earlimart, and The Black Pine to create a very catchy and effective music venture.

Eros and Omissions is set for release on June 23rd on ApologyMusic and features a mammoth 18 tracks. Wanna hear a little tease...try looking here.
