And seeing as the Symphony of Fire Celebration of Light is back starting this weekend, I figures that would be a good time for the Top Six Songs To Listen To While Watching Fireworks!

Hey look, it's another episode of 3am Revelations' very own podcast!
Each week on 3am Mixtapes, I will present to you, in my dulcet tones, the Top Six Songs of a certain subject. The topics can be as general like Top Six Dancey Songs, or they can be as obscure and specific as Top Six Songs to Play at My Funeral.
This week we take a look at the age old tradition of musical couples. Those bands featuring married musicians who make sweet music together, in the Top Six Musical Couples!
Regular readers (all eight 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 last week 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.
I did four episodes, and so I will release them on a [hopefully] weekly basis in the next month. The first is a look at the history of one of my favourite bands, The Dears. 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.
