3am Mixtapes: Episode Thirty One: Falsetto

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 top six biog shiny tunes. Some might be a little more... specific. Top Six Songs To Play During a High Speed Chase.

Hitting those highs are:

"Fashionable People" by Joel Plaskett Emergency
"My Friend" by Paper Lions

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 Nine: Springtime

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 Top Six Guitar Solos. Some might be a little more... specific. Top Six Kazoo Solos.

Seeing as it will officially be the first day of spring in a couple days, I figure this week will be the Top Six Songs To Help You De-Hibernate! Unless you live in the crazy parts of Canada where it's still snowing, the sun will be (or has been) back and you'll need song songs to put the proverbial spring in your step.

Featuring tunage:

"I'll Bring The Sun" by Jason Collett
"We Won't Keep Secrets" by Math and Physics Club
"Yer Spring" by Hey Rosetta!
"Pineapple" by BESTiE

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.

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 ballads. Or some might be a little more... specific. Top Six Fictional Bands From TV Shows.

Seeing as International Women's Day is coming up this week, I figured I'd use that as an excuse to look at the Top Six Female Musicians! I think I've had a pretty good mix of genders in the podcast up until now, but this episode is all-ladies.
