3am Mixtapes: Episode Eighty Seven: Fireworks

Each week on the 3am Mixtapes podcast, I will share with you the Top Six Songs of a certain subject. The topics can be as general as bands playing Rifflandia. Some might be a little more... specific. Top Six Songs For Your Six Senses. 

And seeing as the Symphony of Fire Celebration of Light is back starting this weekend, I figures that would be a good time for the Top Six Songs To Listen To While Watching Fireworks!

Ohh and Ahh with:

"I Used to Pray for the Heavens to Fall" by The Dears
"St Michael" by Louis-Jean Cormier
"Fancy Pants" by Bend Sinister
"That Was Was" by Dirty Three
"Starálfur" by Sigur Rós
"Last Known Surroundings" by Explosions in the Sky

Any questions or comments or waffles or criticisms or suggestions for future themes are welcome!

3am Mixtapes: Episode Eighty Six: Polaris '015

Each week on the 3am Mixtapes podcast, I will share with you the Top Six Songs of a certain subject. The topics can be as general as best drum solos. Some might be a little more... specific. Top Six Bands That Sound Nothing Like Their Name Implies. 

While my goal is to not repeat topics on this podcast, I figures with a new long list of different albums, it would be okay to do another Polaris Music Prize themed episode. So this week is the Top Six Albums I'd Pick Were I a Polaris Juror in 2015! (Which I'm not). Well, five picks, and one overlooked album.

Vote for:

"Take Your Face Off" by Lydia Ainsworth
"Deserter" by Siskiyou
"Taste" by Braids
"Four More Years" by Rich Aucoin
"Cynical Bastards" by Arkells
"Harriet" by Hey Rosetta!

3am Mixtapes: Episode Eighty Five: Fire

Each week on the 3am Mixtapes podcast, I will share with you the Top Six Songs of a certain subject. The topics can be as general as best songs of 2013. Some might be a little more... specific. Top Six Songs That Mention Payphones. 

And if you're in Vancouver and looked out your window this weekend (or outside of Vancouver and looked on your social media) you would have seen a post-apocalyptic haze that descended over the city thanks to some raging forest fires. Which inspired the theme for this week, the Top Six Fiery Songs!

Light these up:

"BC Is On Fire" by The Pack A.D.
"Lampshades on Fire" by Modest Mouse
"The Fire Did Go" by Royal Wood
"The Fire" by Dan Griffin
