3am Mixtapes: Episode Eighty One: Patio

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 harmonies. Some might be a little more... specific. Top Six Songs For Sitting In A Dark Basement and Drinking Whiskey. 

And given that we had ridiculously warm weather in Vancouver this weekend (which looks like it is continuing) I can't think of a better topic for this week than the Top Six Songs For Chilling on the Patio on a Sunny Day! 

Get a drink with these songs:

"Davey and Clara" by Fans & Motor Supply Co.
"Carry On" by Cœur de Pirate
"The Arp" by Aidan Knight
"Dream Lover" by Destroyer
"Mango" by Highs
"Heaven and High Water" by P'aris

3am Mixtapes: Episode Thirty: Tearjerkers

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 most joyful songs. Some might be a little more... specific. Top Six Opposite Songs.

This week I decided to go a little weepy. A wise man once said "Sad songs say so much" so this week it is the Top Six Songs To Make You Curl Up Into The Fetal Position and Bawl! Yes, tearjerkers and heartwrenchers (but not necessarily breakup songs, those are coming later) for a collection of songs that will just reach inside you, grab your heart, and punt it across the room.

Get your tissues out for:

"Margaret Downe" by Aidan Knight
"Casimir Pulaski Day" by Sufjan Stevens
"Basket" by Dan Mangan
"Breathe Me" by Sia
"You and Jake" by Evening Hymns
"Left and Leaving" by The Weakerthans

3am Mixtapes: Episode Twenty One: Alarm Clocks

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 most anticipated new releases of 2014. Or some might be a little more... esoteric. Top Six Songs By Bands Featuring Vancouver Trumpet Player Andrew Lee.

And this week, it’s the Top Six Songs To Wake Up To! Sure, you could wake up the the screeching WAH WAH WAH or BRRRRRRRING of an alarm clock, OR you could set one of your favourtie songs into your phone to wake up to every morning. Or I suppose you could put one of your least favourite to force you to get up and shut it off, but I’m gonna focus on the good songs.

Here to get you awake are:

"Letter From an Occupant" by The New Pornographers
"Romantic Rights" by Death From Above 1979
"Typical" by Mutemath
"Creatures Great & Small" by Aidan Knight
"Know Til Now" by Jim James
"Wake Up" by Arcade Fire

3am Mixtapes: Episode Eleven: Sing alongs

Hey look, it's another episode of 3am Revelations' very own podcast!

Each week on 3am Mixtapes, I will present to you, in my dulcet tones, the Top Six Songs of a certain subject. The topics can be as general like Top Six Cover Songs, or they can be as obscure and specific as Top Six Cover Songs That Are Not Hurt by Johnny Cash.

This week the audience becomes part of the show with the Top Six Sing Along Songs! Those songs that, when played live, turn into a giant, big group sing along, that gets the crowd involved.

Featured on this week's podcast is:

"Robots" by Dan Mangan
"Jasper" by Aidan Knight
"Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots" by The Flaming Lips
"Write It All Down For You" by Elliott BROOD
"O Carolina" by Portage & Main
