Episode #829

Due to essential self-isolation measures, we'll be pre-recording for the foreseeable future. We'll keep bringing you new content to keep you entertained and connected at this difficult time.

This week, the new music is drying up because new releases are being postponed, but we've got a bunch anyway. We've also got news on the booming world of online concerts and how you can help artists.

Friends, we need each other like we never have before. Help yourself, help others, and reach out to someone, because we all need that contact right now!

Episode #828

What an absolutely unbelievable week it's been! The only thing we can do to get through is to listen to good music and help each other out, and that's largely what this episode is all about. We've also got a pile of great new music and some distant upcoming shows that we've got our sights set on.

Remember to stay clean and safe and look out for others. We're all going to need a lot of help to make it through this mess.

Episode #827

It's International Women's Day, and we're celebrating with an all-female show today! We're playing a game of Girls Play Boys, where female artists cover songs written and made famous by males, and show them how the songs should really be sung! We've also got a bit of new music and some great requests/suggestions from some of our favourite female listeners. Sadly, we also had to do a bit of a tribute to Canadian singer/songwriter Laura Smith, who passed away this weekend.

Episode #826

A whole lot of feel-good music today on the show, as I recently discovered the best song ever, and went on a journey to find other songs that made me feel as good as that one does. We also heard some great new music, talked about concert and festival rumours, and shook our fists at the cloud.

Episode #820

We're starting to see some new music and some great upcoming shows after the Christmas break, and we've got some eagerly anticipated new music to share and a few shows to chat about. Unfortunately, we lost one of the world's great songwriters this weekend as the great David Olney died doing what he loved to do. Criminally underappreciated by the masses, Olney was a true songwriters' songwriter and today we listened to a bunch of his own recordings and those of others performing his songs. What a loss!

Episode #819

Prerecorded today, and another in our list of standby episodes that you may end up hearing some other time, but the music is so good that you surely won't mind. This time I found a way to make sure that the show was timely and topical for whatever date it might get played again by playing songs about every month of the year, at least twice! We're calling this one More than Two Good Years because we covered each month at least twice, and then some! I hope you enjoy the show and hope to be back live next week!
