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, theTop 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.

This week is pretty simple, it's the Top Six Opposites! What do I mean by opposites? Well, you'll just have to listen to find out. Or I suppose you could also just read the song names...

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.
Regular readers (all nine of you) may know I am currently schooling at BCIT, in the Radio Broadcast program. In our second, and final, year we take over the station Evolution1079*. At the station we are given rotating jobs every week, and a couple weeks ago I was tasked with Musical Roots; a 45 minute 'Ongoing History Of New Music' type program, where we take a close look at a particular topic. Because these ran at 11pm on a week when our streaming was down, and because I put a lot of work into these (wrote, voiced, produced... did everything myself) I would like to share it with you, fine reader, as a podcast.
This is the third of four episodes, which will released on a [hopefully] weekly basis in the next month. While the first two were more a chronological history of the featured acts, this one is a little different. This week I take a look at not only The New Pornographers, but also all the things that go to make up the band. All of the various members other bands; AC Newman, Neko Case, Destroyer, Immaculate Machine, Limblifter, Fancey and The Evaporators. And then of course, a look at The New Pornos themselves. The feature is in three 15 minute segments, and that is how I present them to you. In streaming or downloadable options.
I hope you enjoy it, and I would very much welcome any sort of feedback you may have (positive or negative), either commented here or through the emails at: 3amRevelations [at] gmail [dot] com.
*If you enjoy this blog and do not know of this station, I suggest you give it a listen. We play a lot of awesome music, and I don't just say this because I am the current music director.
