3am Mixtapes: Episode Seventy Six: Storms

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 bands from Kelowna BC. Some might be a little more... specific. Top Six Songs About Parts Of The Body. 

 This week, it's everyone's favourite small talk topic, weather! Yup, the Top Six Stormy Songs. But not only are these songs stormy by name, but they are also stormy by nature. They sounds like the storm of the title.

Take cover with:

"Tornado" by Jónsi
"This Tornado Loves You" by Neko Case
"Tornado Alley" by Shred Kelly
"Lightning" by Chris Kelly
"Thunder & Lightning" by Bend Sinister
"Fifteen Feet of Pure White Snow" by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

3am Mixtapes: Episode Seventy Five: Beards

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 debut albums. Some might be a little more... specific. Top Six Songs About Weather Storms.

Now, while most themes around these parts have to do with song content, or sound, or names of the band/song, this week, I'm taking it physical. It is about appearances this week, with the Top Six Beards!

Let these songs grow on you:

"All The Bearded Ladies" by The Beards
"Lazerray" by TV On The Radio
"Call of the Wild" by The Matinée
"Errant Sophia" by Hello Blue Roses
