As in previous years (2009, 2008, 2007), I’ve taken the time to assemble 100 song recommendations from 2010 and put it online for your enjoyment! I haven’t been quite as drowned in music this year as normal for me, but you will nonetheless find an awesome collection of songs here from a wide variety of [...]
Like the last couple of years, I’ve put together my favourite songs from the year. Unlike previous years, more than half of these haven’t been on the podcast, so there will be some cool things I’ve not shared yet. I haven’t listened to as much new music this year as previously, so that may effect [...]
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 [...]
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 95. Released January 22, 2008 Radio Slipstream counts down what it sees as the best albums of 2007! The tip top of my top albums of 2007 list that was fiddled with constantly throughout the year (and in its entirety went up to 280…uhps). Sure it’s a bit late, but that just means it’s [...]
I’m running a bit late with my top albums of 2007 podcast, I know. Mostly because I’m being OCD about it and cramming in relistenings to as many albums as I can.. new and old and oft-heard already… you know, just so I can be sure of my rankings. POINTLESSS. BUT! When it’s finished, you [...]
(This is a review of the new Cunninlynguists’ album Dirty Acres. It seems no one wants to listen to this band because of their name, but don’t let that stop you! I haven’t written a review in a while, but lemme know what you think.)
This past weekend I trawled around the sights and sounds of the LOLA festival. I used my status as a community radio host to get some interviews with various folks (festival director Andrew P Francis, visual artist Mr Ghosty and Constantines singer Bryan Webb). I also managed to record a few special LOLA performances, and there’s even some pictures and videos to enjoy!
Another carry-over from the old site, and perhaps it will be kept updated… These are not necessarily endorsements, but I don’t usually see an artist I don’t like. It does happen though, from time to time, for one reason, or another (and those more embarassing ones tend to be toward the bottom of the list…). [...]
As can be expected when one lives so close to Toronto, there are a lot of shows (that is, concerts) coming up that I really want to see. Yes. Some I want to see more than others. Italicized shows have been attended. (Parenthesized shows mean I probably won’t go, but are noteworthy). Starred shows I [...]
