Episode 115. mp3. cue. Released July 9, 2009. Starting out about as mainstream as obscure music can get, moving into a dreamy synthpop throwback place, a right turn through some right twisted electronic sounds and then some raggadubbadancehall business, and a sinister coda. (feat. the 2500th unique radio slipstream approved tune) Bat For Lashes / [...]
Episode 114. mp3. cue. Released June 20, 2009. It’s time to rock. A lot of the time on deh sleepstreeeaaammm you’re hearing all this whispy melodic minimal ambient stuff, or funky grooves, or whatever. This time it’s all about the dirty guitars, pounding drums and err… machismo? (though not much screaming, not really my bag). [...]
Episode 113. mp3. cue. Released June 3, 2009. Witness! The fastest turnaround since going off the air of CFMU on 10/27/07. Some stranger sounds kicking things off. Dense, odd and awesome, then some slightly experimental folky sort of things, moving toward some general pop rocking. A bit of an eclectic beast for you this time, [...]
For those of you who love music (who doesn’t?) but hate the sound of my voice and/or what I have to say (see previous parantheses please!).. here’s the most recent 3 episodes of the slipstream with only the sweetness of the music intact. And how sweetly intact it is! This is perfect for those times [...]
Episode 112. mp3. cue. Released May 22, 2009. We’ve been mostly steering away from the synthesizers for a while, so this time I’m going to unbridle a whole mess of smooth/tasty/euro/banging/sexy beats on you fools. The music starts off like a celebration of the edge between cool and hot on a sultry summer night perfect [...]
here’s a little something from my other life as a multimedia student: To make it a little more relevant to Radio Slipstream, the song in the first part of the video is Motiivi Tuntematon – Mankind Failed, which was featured in a rather more silly than usual episode of the slipstream (which is to say [...]
Episode 111. mp3. cue. Released May 4, 2009. Thought we missed it, but Spring is in the air. Chartreuse is gradually taking over the palette outside my window. So today the sounds are light (as in lumens) and wispy and/or buoyant. Some great glittering oldies, a few delicate shimmery numbers in the vein of folk, [...]
Episode 110. mp3. cue. Released March 29, 2009. On today’s show, we mainly look at another side of folk music; a side that is defined as such only for having minimal distortion on its guitars. That, of course, is indie-folk. Since genres mean little, there are a variety of tinges here; from country, to psych, [...]
It has really gotten so far into the next year that it’s about time I either forgot about bothering to mention my favourite albums of last year, or just got it out of the way. I really enjoyed the countdown episode I did last year, but honestly, making it was kind of a pain in [...]
