Episode #859

Fresh off a trip to the dentist, I thought it was time to pay some tribute to proper dental care, but we’ve also got a pile of great new (and new-to-me) music and a few feel-good Canadian classics.

Episode #858

It’s Thanksgiving weekend and as always, we’re thankful for great music to get us through, and there’s a whole bunch of great stuff here today. We’ve got another pile of great new music, including the haul from the last Bandcamp day, some great requests, we celebrate some significant local birthdays, and we explore the life and incredible talent of Eddie Van Halen by picking out some of the folkier sounds from his amazing work.

Episode #856

We gave up the second hour of the broadcast on UMFM to make room for an important broadcast called We Are All Treaty People, so the full two-hour episode of Tell the Band to Go Home can only be found on the podcast.

On the show today we’ve got some more great new music, even if we haven’t actually heard some of it yet, some overdue requests, and we check in with some artists that I used to really love but for one reason or another haven’t connected with as much over the years.
