3am Mixtapes: Episode Fifty: England

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 Irish bands. Some might be a little more... specific. Top Six Songs That Sound Nothing Like Their Band Name Would Imply.

A lot of this podcast focuses on Canadian music, since that's what I listen to most. But there are other countries out there who make music almost as good as Canadians, and since I'm a nerd and this week is the return of Doctor Who, I though I would use that as a tenuous reason for the Top Six English Bands!

Hear some jams from:

"Beacons" by I Like Trains
"Hold Back the Night" by I Am Kloot
"Storm Song" by Phildel
"Blackest Eyes" by Porcupine Tree
"Inhaler" by Foals
"Get Your Way" by Jamie Cullum

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
"Confusion" by Major Tom & The Atoms
"Kveikur" by Sigur Rós

3am Mixtapes: Episode Three: Lying on a Hillside

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 broad and vague and Best Duets, or they can be as obscure and specific as Best Ukulele Songs.

This week, I was thinking about driving songs. There are plenty of "roadtrip mixes", for speeding down a highway on bright and sunny days, but what about other times? So this week, I give you the Top Six Songs To Listen To While Lying on a Hill in the Middle of Summer While Staring Up At The Stars. They're the "songs of the summer", but not the ones about getting lucky or lines that are blurred. Ones that are more introspective; thoughtful songs.

Featured on this week's podcast is:

"Baptism" by We Are The City
"Family Tree" by Evening Hymns
"A Soft Place to Land" by Kathleen Edwards
"Sometimes I Forget You’ve Gone" by Dirty Three
"Lazarus" by Porcupine Tree
"Dondante" by My Morning Jacket
