March 28th Playlist

2010-03-29T00:49:00.002-06:00

While I was away from Thrice Removed, I was saddened to hear about the March 17th death of Big Star's Alex Chilton. I played a few Big Star songs in honour of their frontman tonight, and I (rather lamely) attempted to express what a loss this is, but Paul Westerberg does a much better job in his article here. This is my favourite bit:

"The great Alex Chilton is gone — folk troubadour, blues shouter, master singer, songwriter and guitarist. Someone should write a tune about him. Then again, nah, that would be impossible. Or just plain stupid."

Maybe next week we'll play the Westerberg-penned 'Alex Chilton', but for now, here's March 28th's playlist:

Thrush Hermit - Take Another Drag (Take Another Drag 7", 1995)

Sounds Like a Party

2010-03-05T17:13:00.000-06:00

I saw Ted Leo + Pharmacists play a show at the Starlite Room in Edmonton in October of 2007, and I still count it among one of the best shows I've seen. Also, Ted covered Bruce Springsteen.

But I imagine that show was nothing compared to what their record release party in New York is going to be. On March 9, they'll be releasing their new LP The Brutalist Bricks, and to celebrate they're throwing a karaoke party at the Knitting Factory in Brooklyn. Mr. Leo has the list of possible covers (highlights include "Tommy Gun" by the Clash and Kelly Clarkson's "Since U've Been Gone") up at their website.

More details and a download of the first single, "The Mighty Sparrow" are available here. If you're heading to New York next week, considering taking me with you.

2010-02-13T01:30:00.001-06:00

Well, here we are once again.

Sloan have (finally!) compiled all of their b-sides. Let me tell you, after listening to low-quality mp3s that I had somehow managed to dig up over the years, it is SO AWESOME to hear these songs remastered that I can almost forgive the Fab Four for not releasing an actual CD. Maybe one day they will. A girl can dream, right?

"Summer's My Season" is my favourite Sloan song. Well, it's in the top three. Anyway, enjoy.

Change of Time

2010-02-08T21:59:00.001-06:00

I'm really enjoying these "widgets" that bands keep providing, as it enables me to get the point across without having to write a real post.

Oh, and if you want me to play a song for your sweetheart on Valentine's Day, comment away and let me know. I'll see if I can make it happen.

Back in October, the Deep Dark Woods were voted in as the artist to represent Saskatchewan in CBC Radio 2's Great Canadian Songquest. Their assignment was to write a song about Good Time Charlies in Regina, which would then be debuted in concert on CBC and available for purchase on iTunes.

You can see the full concert, which features all 13 winning bands from across Canada here, or for your convenience, the Deep Dark Woods' segment is posted below. Congratulations, boys!

Okay, so, it's almost Christmas. And, I mean, I love Christmas, but my taste in Christmas music hasn't evolved with my taste in other music, because, to my knowledge, The Super Friendz and/or Elvis Costello have not released holiday albums. Therefore, I listen to a lot of the same festive tunes that I liked when I was 13. I'm not going to lie to you, folks, 13-year-old me listened to some terrible, terrible music*, so the Christmas selections are sparse on this edition of Thrice Removed.

Well, that, and I played 'Fairytale of New York' last week.

Anyway, here is what you've all been waiting for:

But before that! Thanks again, Dana, for cohosting while Evan was... otherwise engaged.

Elvis Costello & the Attractions - I Hope You're Happy Now (Blood & Chocolate, 1986)

Mardeen - Ice Truck Killer (ep, 2009)
Said the Whale - My Government Heart (Howe Sounds/Taking Alabonia, 2008, for Evan)

Murderecords Tribute

2009-12-14T00:32:00.003-06:00

Way back in 1992, Sloan started up a record label called Murderecords that would release their music as well as the music of their friends in and around Halifax. If you think that this would make a better name for a rap label, you are not alone, but the logo is a group of crows, which is called a murder, and it all makes sense.

That was a lot of ill-placed commas.

Anyway, in honour of Sloan's visit to Saskatoon, here is the playlist for December 6th's all Murderecords show. Enjoy.

Sloan - Pretty Voice (Peppermint EP, 1992)

Local Rabbits - (Sally Ann's) Style Denial (You Can't Touch This, 1996)
Pony Da Look - Wishstick (Shattered Dimensions, 2008)
Sloan - Anyone Who's Anyone (4 Nights at the Palais Royale, 1999)

The Inbreds - Wind Picks Up (It's Sydney or the Bush, 1997)
Will Currie & the Country French - Centrefold (A Great Stage, 2008)
