Track List – November 2nd

This week I was thrilled to have the lovely, talented, and totally intimidating Teagan Johnston in studio with me (along with her awesome guitar player Pete) to briefly conduct an interview and perform some live songs during the first half hour of the show! She released her EP that night and I have no doubt that we will hear from her again. True story: having live artists in studio is the perfect CanCon-requirement filler.

Man…Or Astro Man? – Disintegrate (Analog Series Singles)
Neko Case – Near Midnight, Honolulu (The Worse Things Get…)
Angel Haze – Same Love (Same Love Mixtape)
John Vanderslice – Diamanthunde (Vanderslice Plays Diamond Dogs)
Library Voices – If Raymond Carver Were Born In the 90’s (Summer of Lust)
Jen Titus – O Death (Supernatural OST)
The Zolas – Invisible (Invisible – Single)
Oneohtrix Point Never – Boring Angel (R Plus Seven)

Track List – October 26th

Or, the Halloween Weekend Post-Party Hangover Extravaganza.

Also known (in Japan) as “The Show Where I [Metaphorically] Drooled All Over My Brand New Boards of Canada Vinyl Like a Huge Music Snob.”

This dapper dinosaur is a BoC fan too.

In all seriousness, I really enjoyed this show. I went in without much of a plan, but I discovered some great stuff right there in studio which I’ll definitely be playing more of in the future! The John Vanderslice album, in particular, is really interesting. Let me know what you thought of this week’s playlist, and remember that next week I’ll have Teagan Johnston in studio with me!
