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
"Throw it on the Fire" by Zeus
"Firestruck" by Young Galaxy


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

3am Mixtapes: Episode Thirty Six: A Box of Kittens

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 like top six bands from Toronto. Some might be a little more... specific. Top Six Bands With "Black" In Their Name.

A couple of weeks ago I did the "Top Six Songs To Make You Curl Up Into The Fetal Position and Bawl" (you know, tearjerkers) so I figured I had to do the other side of the coin, with happy songs. It's the Top Six  Songs That Make You Feel Like Someone Dumped A Box of Kittens On You!

Smile along with:

"The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song" by The Flaming Lips
"Are You Experiencing?" by Rich Aucoin
"Cameras" by Matt & Kim
"Animal Arithmetic" by Jónsi
"Float On" by Modest Mouse
"I Like That You Like Books" by Ma Petite


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

Review-kus.

Originally I wanted to review every album I bought/otherwise listened to this year. Clearly, I've slacked on that. Partially cos there have been a lot of albums that, for whatever reason, I don't feel like writing a full review for. So what I have decided to do is give a few really quick reviews all at once.... in haiku form. Here we go!
And yes, I am trying to finish off the reviews of this years albums as quick as possible, so that's why there has been (and will be) a barrage of album reviews.

Pink Strat by Bahamas
(debut solo LP from Afie Jurvanen, who has played for the likes of Feist, Jason Collett, Hayden, Zeus, The Stills and more)

After supporting
Afie steps in the spotlight
For his time to shine

Download Already Yours by Bahamas

Invisible Republic by Young Galaxy
Some moments it soars
Yet others, not so much
A bit less dreamy

Download Firestruck by Young Galaxy

Armistice by Mute Math
Just like their debut
With more, needless, production
Bit of a let down

Download Backfire by Mute Math

No One's First and You're Next EP by Modest Mouse
A bunch of outtakes
Were left out for a reason
Just seems like filler

Download Perpetual Motion Machine by Modest Mouse

Bay of Pigs EP by Destroyer
Thirteen and a half
Twists and turns and genre shifts
Simply amazing

Download Bay of Pigs by Destroyer
