Musical Roots: Big Sugar

Regular readers (all seventeen of you) may know I just finished schooling at BCIT, in the Radio Broadcast program. In our second and final, year we take over the station Evolution1079, where we are given rotating jobs. A month ago, I had Musical Roots; a 45 minute 'Ongoing History Of New Music' type program, where we take a close look at a particular topic. Because these ran at 11pm, and because I put a lot of work into these (wrote, voiced, produced... did everything myself) I would like to share it with you, fine reader, as a podcast.

You may remember the previous entries (or you may not, I don't know), but each one was on a different band. I now have three more to share, with the last two being a bit different. But I am getting ahead of myself. First, a band that I have loved for years, and a band that recently got back together, whose new album I am eagerly anticipating. It's Big Sugar. The feature is in three 15 minute segments, and that is how I present them to you. In streaming or downloadable options.

I hope you enjoy it, and I would very much welcome any sort of feedback you may have (positive or negative), either commented here or through the emails at: 3amRevelations [at] gmail [dot] com. Or carrier pigeon. Or yell really loud, and hopefully I'll hear you.

Henry & The Nightcrawlers with David Vertesi and Redbird @ Biltmore Cabaret -- 03/21/11

Originally, I was not sure if I was going to blog about this show. As you should may know, I was instrumental in the organization of it, bringing the three bands together on one night. I felt that a) blogging about it would be too conflict of interest-y, and 2) during the show I was half watching, and making sure everything was going smoothly. But after a brief twitter-poll, I decided I would, but just focus on the performances. And so, inspired by Henry and his reading poetry in lieu of stage banter, I decided to review all three sets... in haiku.

Redbird
Beautiful voices
And masterful guitar work
They don't have No Game

David Vertesi
David does it all
Shoulder shimmies to heartbreak
He is Broadcasting

Henry & The Nightcrawlers
Some new Nightcrawlers
Henry rocked On A Week Night
Poetry and all.


For all of you that came to the show support my endeavour and, more importantly, Evolution1079... thank you so much. I can't express how much it meant to me.

New Music Now: Eureka by Mother Mother

Regular readers (all sixteen of you) may know I am currently schooling at BCIT, in the Radio Broadcast program. In our second, and final, year we take over the station Evolution1079 and are given various jobs. For the next little while, I am doing New Music Now; a three minute feature about... well, I think it's pretty self explanatory. I will be doing six of then in the next few weeks and I figured I would share them with you here because why not.

All right. So. The thing is, I originally did six over a three week span, and this is the last of them. But I really liked doing them; it combined my love of production with my love of rambling about music and telling you what you should like. So the question is... should I continue to do these?
They would be on my own time and specifically for the blog, so I'd probably also need a new name, as New Music Now is from Evolution. Plus I'm sure I could think of something better. So far, the leading suggestion is "3 Minute Revelations Colon Subtitle Kirk Takes 3 Minutes Of Your Time and Awesomes It Up"
Thoughts?

Upcoming concert: Henry & The Nightcrawlers, David Vertesi & Redbird @ Biltmore Cabaret -- 03/21/11

Hey chums. As I've mentioned a few times, I am currently in BCIT Radio Broadcast Program, and the music director for Evolution1079, which just celebrated five years on the FM dial (it was just on cable before that).
I am also currently planning a concert. Myself and another student, for a marketing project, are putting this on:

March 21st at the Biltmore Cabaret.
Henry & The Nightcrawlers.
David Vertesi.
Redbird.
$12

Regular readers will know how much of a fan I am of all three acts, so I am  excited to be able to present them all in the same show, and I would absolutely love it if you, dear reader, would be able to come. Here is a link to the facey books event page, or you can buy tickets from Ticketweb here.

Planning this has been a long (and at times frustrating) process, and it would mean a lot if you were able to come!

See you on the 21st?

Musical Roots: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Regular readers (all eleven of you) may know I am currently schooling at BCIT, in the Radio Broadcast program. In our second, and final, year we take over the station Evolution1079*. At the station we are given rotating jobs every week, and last week I was tasked with Musical Roots; a 45 minute 'Ongoing History Of New Music' type program, where we take a close look at a particular topic. Because these ran at 11pm on a week when our streaming was down, and because I put a lot of work into these (wrote, voiced, produced... did everything myself) I would like to share it with you, fine reader, as a podcast.

I did four episodes, which have all been posted here is the last month(ish). This is the final one I did, a look at the history of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, surprising no one -- I don't think I've been shy about my unabashed love of Nick Cave. The feature is in three 15 minute segments, and that is how I present them to you. In streaming or downloadable options.

I hope you enjoy it, and I would very much welcome any sort of feedback you may have (positive or negative), either commented here or through the emails at: 3amRevelations [at] gmail [dot] com. 
I am hoping to produce this feature again sometime in the new year, so if I do, there will be another series of podcasts. Or if there is positive feedback, maybe I'll just do one for funsies.

Musical Roots: The New Pornographers

Regular readers (all nine of you) may know I am currently schooling at BCIT, in the Radio Broadcast program. In our second, and final, year we take over the station Evolution1079*. At the station we are given rotating jobs every week, and a couple weeks ago I was tasked with Musical Roots; a 45 minute 'Ongoing History Of New Music' type program, where we take a close look at a particular topic. Because these ran at 11pm on a week when our streaming was down, and because I put a lot of work into these (wrote, voiced, produced... did everything myself) I would like to share it with you, fine reader, as a podcast.

This is the third of four episodes, which will released on a [hopefully] weekly basis in the next month. While the first two were more a chronological history of the featured acts, this one is a little different. This week I take a look at not only The New Pornographers, but also all the things that go to make up the band. All of the various members other bands; AC Newman, Neko Case, Destroyer, Immaculate Machine, Limblifter, Fancey and The Evaporators. And then of course, a look at The New Pornos themselves. The feature is in three 15 minute segments, and that is how I present them to you. In streaming or downloadable options.

I hope you enjoy it, and I would very much welcome any sort of feedback you may have (positive or negative), either commented here or through the emails at: 3amRevelations [at] gmail [dot] com.
