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 […]

My Favourite Albums of 2008

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 […]

Episode 109. mp3. cue. Released March 6, 2009.
So maybe ‘world’ music would be more descriptive, but what comparably lame puns could be made with that? … I rest my case. And anyway, why would the traditional music of British and Americans be called folk and that of Nicaraguans be called worldbeat? That’s not […]

The first 2 episodes of the year condensed to fit on one mix cd; presented in mp3 with a cue file to help you burn it. Yay! And apologies to the songs that didn’t make the cut. I may make this a tradition if I can actually get around to making at […]

100 songs from 2008!

I started this tradition last year, though someone else started it first a couple years ago and continues it. It’s a neat way to sum up a year of music: 100 great songs by 100 different artists. If you’re a regular listener you’ve probably already heard almost all of them but this is a chance […]

Episode 108. mp3. cue. Released January 17, 2009.
Continuing right where we left off, 80s tinged synthpop gives way to strangely catchy psychedelic folkpop, and it all caps off with an opulent synthesizer soundtrack finish.

Episode 107. mp3. cue. Released January 01, 2009.
The first episode of 2009 and the first episode featuring brand new fractionized length! Content-wise wes is tying up some loose ends of 2008. And you know when the last episode is all dancing and electronics that you’re soon due for some REAL pounding drums and some […]

a slight change of pace

As a gift for all of y’all my glorious listeners, this Christmas Eve I am officially announcing that I’m gonna cease with the 2 hour radio showpisodes, because i don’t think anyone really wants to spend that much time listening to the same thing. As of Jan 1st, or whenever the first new episode […]

Episode 106. mp3. cue. Released December 19, 2008
So a new computer and the semi-annual end of term procrastinator-punishment-derby may have contributed to this most unprecedented of podcast interims. But fuck that. Cause now it’s up! This guy is my sham summer within this dullest of seasons… you will find blissed out psychedelia, hard-hitting […]
