Episode #226

First up, some stellar new music from a lady who, after just one listen, was guaranteed to be on my top 10 list for this year. Then, a look at one of those songwriters who I’ve heard of plenty, but never actually heard.

For the last hour, some pleasures that you don’t have to feel guilty about. I went to see Crowded House in concert, and for a brief while, I thought maybe I should feel guilty about that. HA! The audience was a who’s who of music in this town, and I knew right then that not all 80s pop music is bad. So, for an hour or so, we heard some pop music (and interesting covers of pop music) that you don’t have to feel guilty about liking.

September 2, 2007 – Brock Zeman

Episode #225

Back for another live visit are the always impressive Brock Zeman & Dan Walsh, who stopped by to chat and play for us before their set at Candor. We’ve known that Dan Walsh was one of the best guitar players (and nicest guys) out there for quite some time, but Zeman is quickly impressing me more and more with his great songs. These guys are welcome back any time, because somehow, they just get better & better.

Sadly, all good things must come to an end, and this weekend marks Labour Day, the official end of my best summer ever. It’s back to work next week (insert fake sympathy here), so a bunch of songs about work and working ended off the show nicely.

Episode #224

Summer must be coming to an end because the new releases are starting to roll out and there have been some good ones recently. It’s been a banner week for new music for me, and today’s show highlights the best discs that have come to me this week, as well as some old favourites from some artists with new discs, and a look at Busted Flat Records.

NO SHOW!?!

It’s coming up on our 5th anniversary of TTBTGH this fall, and I can’t remember another time when I was too sick to come in and didn’t have something lined up for you, but that’s exactly what happened this week. Sorry!

The Journey Home

This week I’ve been away on a bit of a road trip, and if all goes well, I’ll either be home or well on my way by the time this show airs, so this one’s a bunch of songs about home and coming home. It’s nice to get away, but it’s always good to come back home, as these songs remind us.
