Sleddogs criss-cross Canada, land in New Brunswick
Sled dogs aren't exactly a summer animal. Picked for their strength and endurance, the dogs "" often huskies or malamutes "" are used to navigate harsh winter climates, often working in teams to pull sleds long distances. It's not exactly an image you associate with beaches, summer sun, and umbrella laden cocktails.

CD Reviews
Recorded during Steve Earle's Austin City Limits appearance in 2000, I can't think of a better time to take a snapshot of an artist who has been through so much in his lifetime. His Transcendental Blues studio album that year was (and still is) one of the best works of his career and is well represented among the 15 tracks here. While I'm still a fan of Earle's recent music, I've found his records since Transcendental Blues haven't been nearly as consistent or compelling of a listen.

The best sounds of summer revealed
What better way to celebrate summer than with some awesome music? Toss away your Skynyrd and Eagles CDs, here are the definitive tunes you need for summer 2008:
Radiohead - The Best Of (EMI Music Canada)
The first career retrospective from this influential English band doesn't come without some minor controversy.
Elvis Costello - Momofuku (Lost Highway / Universal Music Canada)
I have to admit when I first heard Elvis Costello hadn't initially planned to make his newest record available on CD, I was slightly disappointed. And even though the physical CD release lagged behind the release on vinyl and the online availability of the record by a week or two, I have to say that the wait was well worth it. Where 2004's The Delivery Man was steeped in Americana, Momofuku brings Costello back to pop basics.

CD Reviews
This classic 1984 release from Minneapolis scrappy rockers The Replacements is at times raucous and restless (Favorite Thing, We're Comin' Out) and at other times humorous (Gary's Got A Boner). But perhaps most importantly, the 'Mats showed they were getting their footing at writing pure, simple pop songs like I Will Dare and Unsatisfied. The raw emotion the band puts into the songs on the record makes up for any occasional lack of musicianship and that emotion is what I feel helps give the record the legendary status it currently holds. This Rhino reissue features six bonus tracks including a cover of T Rex's 20th Century Boy (previously a B-side on the I Will Dare 12 inch) as well as a couple fantastic outtakes (Perfectly Lethal, Heartbeat "" It's A Lovebeat) recorded at the same sessions which eventually produced the Let It Be long player. This reissue is a fantastic reason to go back and revisit a pivotal record from the '80s.
