3am Mixtapes: Episode Fifty Nine: Space!

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 most perfect songs. Some might be a little more... specific. Top Six Songs To Play While Punching and Kicking The Air To Get Your Frustrations On Life Out.

And this week is going to be a little topical. Inspired by something that happened last week, it's the Top Six Interstellar Songs!

Space out to:

"The Universe Expanded by Franz Ferdinand
"What If I Can't See The Stars Mildred? by Matthew Good
"Go Go Space Man by Top Less Gay Love Tekno Party
"Cosmic Destroyer by Chad VanGaalen
"Cold Moon by The Zolas
"Space Oddity by David Bowie

3am Mixtapes: Episode Twenty Eight: Around the World

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 best concept albums. Or some might be a little more... specific. Top Six Male Falsettos.

If you've listened to even a single episode before, you may have noticed my focus can be on Canadian music. It's what I'm into. But this week I figured I would expand a little and take a look at the Top Six International Bands.

With musical songs:

"Stand on the Horizon" by Franz Ferdinand
"The Pin Drop" by Steven Wilson
"The Soft Fall" by dEUS
"It Was There That I Saw You" by ...And You Will Know Us by The Trail of Dead

3am Mixtapes: Episode Twenty Three: Covers (that are not Hurt)

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 best breakup songs. Or some might be a little more... specific. Top Six Songs With Opposite Titles.

random top six

Here's something I haven't done in a while, a Random Top 6 list! Here's the deal: every week whenever I feel like it, I will choose a random category and choose the top 6 songs fitting that criteria. Today, inspired by the recent wave of hellfire that has descended upon Vancouver and made it too hot to think of a metaphor for how hot it is, I have picked the Top Six Fiery Songs! So, in no particular order, I give you:

The Top Six Flaming Songs


download Signal Fire by Black Hat Brigade


download This Fire by Franz Ferdinand


download Fire In The Lobby by Immaculate Machine


download Wall of Fire by Peter Elkas


download Fire by Jason Collett


download Run Through The Fire by The Waking Eyes

Honourable mention:

Which is about 17 mintues long, so I didn't want to upload it... so here is the video!
