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 Twenty: 2013 Favourites

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 favourite Maritime Bands. Or some might be a little more... esoteric. Top Six Songs From Musical Episodes of TV Shows.

Now, tell me, who says two weeks into 2014 is too late to do a 2013 Favourites list? I scoff at them! Scoff! But anyway, this week is not necessarily the Top Six Songs of 2013, but rather Six Of My Favourite Songs of 2013. There was a lot of good stuff released last year, and I'm terrible at picking favourites as it is, so this week is not THE Top Six Songs of 2013 but A Top Six Songs of 2013.

Featuring:

"The Wolf" by Phildel
"River" by The Belle Game
"Nearly Midnight, Honolulu" by Neko Case
"Sandcastles" by Paper Lions
"Bathtubs" by Royal Canoe
"Push the Sky Away" by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
