Episode 25! The quarter-century show

~ bhaggart ~ Leave a comment

It’s the quarter-century show! As always, the best new left-field pop, mainly from Australia and Canada, but if it’s from elsewhere and it sounds good, I’ll play it.

Hmmm… Dreampop, indie rock, sensitive alternafolk(?). And an nifty song from Melbourne of the late ‘70s-early ‘80s that always reminds me of LCD Soundsystem, who are also in the playlist. Tasty.

Episode 24 – April 30, 2017: All over the map

As always, the best new left-field pop, mainly from Australia and Canada, but if it’s from elsewhere and it sounds good, I’ll play it. A mixed bag of Australian hiphop, Canadian indie rock, Latino punk, and New Zealand shoegaze. And that’s just the first 15 minutes.

All the Rage no. 18: The Inauguration Edition

~ bhaggart ~ Leave a comment

So I recorded this on January 20, a day that will live on in … etc., etc. Don’t know if you watched the inauguration, but I didn’t bother. I had a pretty good idea of what to expect, and we have four years to deal with it, so no need to catch the speech (I watched it later, for professional purposes. Verdict: I made the right call).

While the new US president was doing his thing, I spent my time putting together this podcast. Music and art: it’s a cliché, but they’re good for the soul. Lots of good tunes this week, as always, including a few political-leaning songs, cuz why not? Enjoy.

Song of the week: mi’ens, Dewey Decibel System

~ bhaggart ~ Leave a comment

Vancouver’s mi’ens gets math rock right. Their latest release, Challenger (whose cover is a not-exactly-tasteful rendering of the explosion of the shuttle of the same name), is simultaneously soothing, unsettling and menacing in its use of repetition and, as they put it, odd time signatures (I was pleasantly pleased to find that they use this as a bandcamp tag, which yields a lot of other listening options).

Dewey Decibel System (great song title) leans toward the soothing side of their sound, which is probably why it’s my favourite track and has already garnered repeated listens – the world being what it is these days I can only take so much anxiety from my music. That said, Challenger’s definitely wormed its way into my life soundtrack.
