   04x03 - Can't Stop the Tapes, Side A

   This month: Yes, the mix tapes are officially monthly (at least for now)--this month's Side A is just fast, fun, bullshit-free rocknroll, same as usual, featuring easily my personal favourite Bosom Divine song, along with more from Dirty Mouth, The Knits, Old Neighbors, etc. // As always, tap Now...

   04x02 - West-Side Highways, Side B

   This week's Side B is just a whole lot of goddamn Swearin'! I got to meet up with them (Allison Crutchfield, Kyle Gilbride, returning champion Jeff Bolt, and, although he decided not to join the interview, Keith Spencer) when they came to Vancouver a week or two ago now, and we hung out for a…

   04x01 - West-Side Highways, Side A

   This week: It's the start of Series 4, so there's some catching up to do first, and then both Sides A and B to get to!

    03x06 - Breaking Bag

    This week: The unceremonious and interview-free end of Series 3, featuring (mostly) Stupid Bag Records bands! Jeff Bolt (Swearin', Radiator Hospital, more) is the dude behind Stupid Bag, and he recently sent the podcast some goodies, so this week's tape has some of my favourites in the mix (Dead...

    03x05 - Screamalia

    This week: It's just one special guest after another lately--this week's being Marissa Paternoster of the Screaming Females (also Noun)! I mean, goddamn, regular listeners know I fucking love me some Screaming Females, and they're on tour in the U.S. and Canada right now, so don't fuck up: go see...

    00x05 - Bassmaster

    This week: Two bonus tapes on the weekend, apparently! Nah, I actually felt kinda weird just doing a bonus tape of a current band's full album (so BUY Merry Christmas' music, too, links are on the tumblr!), but I figured another quick bonus tape of an older and lesser-known album would balance…

    00x04 - Late, Late, Late!

    This week: There was no tape, that's how late it ran! So here's a last-minute bonus, featuring one of Jeff's recommendations from last week's interview. Because that was a damn good recommendation. Check out Merry Christmas on PRTYNGG! Records, links are up on the tumblr. Next week: Seamus...

    03x02 - Fucking Shit-Ass Goddamnit

    This week: The tape is late! But after the 4/20 bonuses, I'm not feeling all that guilty about it, really. And as mentioned during said bonuses, our (read: my) mystery guest this week is Jeff Bolt, drummer for Swearin'! Regular listeners should know by now that I haven't stopped dancing my…

    This 4/20: Two mix tapes to play while hittin' the bong and the Mario Kart (or whatever) this 4/20 weekend! This is the second one: the first video edition of the podcast! Nerd note: This is the low-quality version, cause the full 1080p version is over 3GB, so I didn't want people with crap...

    03x01 - No Bullshit

    This week: I'm back! With a fast, fun, underground (but also with Pinhead Gunpowder), bullshit-free rocknroll mix tape. A tape like the cool kids used to make.

    02x11 - Sprung

    This week: Remember when you actually made for real mix tapes, and you'd start out with one idea for a theme to a tape, but by the time it was done, it was a whole other tape? That happened this week. With!: Monks, Old Neighbors, Flashing Lights, Pure, and more! // As always, tap Now Playing on...

    02x10 - More Bong

    This week: I have been goddamn busy lately doing one of the least fun things possible: editing raw HTML. Yup, even in the year 2013, some shit-tiny sites still prefer simple raw HTML over huge, glossy, hi-res-image-heavy layouts that cause inconsistent load times and experiences depending on what...

    02x09 - Like A Ford Escort

    This week: Noises! Some punk and power-pop, too, but mostly experimental noise and garagey lo-fi stuff for a change, with songs from Anisette's Froot Salud EP acting as an anchor through the mix. // As always, tap Now Playing on your iThing for the playlist, and skip songs using the Next/Prev....

    02x05 - Fun! (Because That Shitty Band Sure Fucking Isn't!)

    This week: The new shit is Swearin'--all they've put out so far is a demo and one self-titled album, but I am obsessed with this already-nearly-infallible Brooklyn pop-punk outfit, and cannot stop dancing wildly to both records (although the demo is a tape). And if you've listened to more than…

    02x03 - A Quick One, While No One's Away

    This week: I got sucked into that HBO show Girls, too; I know, I know, and I'm not that big of a Judd Apatow fan, really, but the mom from Freaks and Geeks is in it, and I fucking loved me some Freaks and Geeks, and--uh, right, okay, sorry. This week!: 60snroll, thrashnroll, garagenroll, and some...

    02x02 - Merge

    This week: Some darker rocknroll, some '90snroll, some unreleased Choking Victimnroll, you get the picture.
