3am Mixtapes: Episode One Hundred: Favourite Songs

in
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 BC bands. Some might be a little more... specific. Top Six Bands who have been in the Peak Performance Project. 

I'm not really one to celebrate milestones just because they're at round numbers, but I had this idea floating around for a while and figured this was as good a time as any for my Top Six Songs!
These are just six of my favourite songs. Not my Six Favourites Of All Time Ever (I don't think I could do that list), but just six that have remained favourites for a while.

Check these out:

"The Bleeding Heart Show" by The New Pornographers
"This Modern Love" by Bloc Party
"Hoppípolla" by Sigur Rós
"Prime Time Deliverance" by Matthew Good Band
"Into My Arms" by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
"It's All Gonna Break" by Broken Social Scene

3am Mixtapes: Episode One: First Tracks

These are the people who saw an overcrowded marketplace and said, "Me too!"

 That's right. 3am Revelations once again has its 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 broad and vague and Best Summer Songs or Best Songs Featuring a Banjo,
or they can be as obscure and specific as Best Songs To Drive To At Dusk or Best Songs Featuring a Theremin.

The first week, I thought what better place to start than with the beginning. Top Six Opening Tracks. The first songs on an album. The ones that catch your attention and make you want to keep listening.

Featured on this weeks podcast is:

"Giant" by Matthew Good Band
"Like Eating Glass" by Bloc Party
"Nobody Moves Nobody Gets Hurt" by We Are Scientists
"Your Ex-Lover is Dead" by Stars
"New Goodbye" by Hey Rosetta!
"Fight Test" by The Flaming Lips


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

Musical Roots: Matthew Good Band

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 second of four episodes, which will released on a [hopefully] weekly basis in the next month. This one is a look at the history of the Matthew Good Band. Matt Good is probably my favourite musician, so this was especially fun to do. 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.

*If you enjoy this blog and do not know of this station, I suggest you give it a listen. We play a lot of awesome music, and I don't just say this because I am the current music director.
