Playlist for September 1st, 2010

I'm fucking out of here! Screw you crapsville, I'll miss you all deeply. I (Matthew (the cute one)) am moving away for a year, in order to be near my lady and experience the crazy fucking culture of Canada's west coast. Of course, this means that you will all have to make due with Ishmael being a consumate professional all the time. Terrible, I know.

Here's the playlist!

EXTRAS:

So many cool things are happening. In keeping with being the most amazing working band in the industry, Arcade Fire's website features an HTML5 experiment by filmmaker Chris Milk (who has made videos for the likes of Kanye fucking West.) It's an interactive video project featuring that will blow you away, guaranteed. If it doesn't, I will eat any amount of hats. No restrictions. See http://www.thewildernessdowntown.com to have your mind blown off.

The Ruby Coast, who we've been fans of for a long time, are releasing their new EP Whatever This Is for free, all y'all gotta do is tweet at 'em.

The new Ted Leo video features funnymen Paul F. Tompkins and Judge John Hodgman. It's a fantastic video.

Ted Leo And The Pharmacists - "Bottled In Cork" (Official Video) from Ted Leo and the Pharmacists

That's all there is folks. Enjoy the greatest fucking FM-Phasis show lineup that there has ever been and remember to drop Ishmael a coin or two in the fall. I want this show to be here when I get back.

Playlist for August 18, 2010

Hello friends. It's another exciting week in music. There are several great bands coming to Saskatoon in the next few weeks and some great new albums have come out (such as Let It Sway by SSLYBY). Also, it turns out Kanye West's next album will feature the haunting sounds of Bon Iver. We're playing a great Kanye song near the end of the show in anticipation of what is sure to be the best album of all time. Of all time!

Check out the blog donewaiting.com. They're posting exclusive tracks from the band Ghost Shirt. The song "Astronauts of Fate," which we are playing this week, is the latest installment of a Ghost Shirt project that they're calling 52 singles in 52 weeks. This is number 24 and, like all the others, it's an astonishing classic. They're releasing a brand new track every week and so far they've all been great. Get them all at donewaiting.com and watch for the rest.

Remember that the "Insult Matthew" contest is still on. Leave insulting comments on this post and Matthew will give you a shoutout on air. Listen tonight at 10:30 on 90.5 FM or on cfcr.ca.

Welcome back everyone, this week, while Ishmael was busy sculpting his guns, I was slaving over a hot laptop trying to put together an entertaining radio show for you ingrates.

The "Insult Matthew Contest" is still running, since no one has the stones — or any real reason — to leave a hateful comment on our blog. It's not hard, tell me you hate me and you get a favourable shout out on the radio.

Sarah Harmer is back! If you grew up with MUCH music around the start of the millenium, then you'll no doubt remember her single Basement Apartment. Her new album Oh Little Fire is out now. Below is the video for the single Captive.

Every four years, we North Americans are shaken out of our apathy and drawn into the irresistible world of football—the real football, that is. There's nothing better than waking up at five in the morning to watch two countries you don't much care for battle it out in a 90 minute match for a result that doesn't much excite you. Yessir, the world's greatest game! (Actually, the World Cup is terribly exciting for me but I understand most Canadians don't give a hoot.)

If you are looking for refuge from the constant World Cup coverage, here's our 100% soccer-free playlist.
