Radio Show (Jan. 08, 2009)
January 9, 2009

I’m cooking a few bloggo-topics at present, but don’t have the time, energy or inclination to write them up before I collapse into bed. Instead, I’ll just post the playlist for my most recent radio show… Because people obviously care about that sort of thing…

The Bicycles – Won’t She Be Surprised
The Stolen Minks – Reflexes
Arkells [...]

Radio Show (Oct. 30, 2008)
November 2, 2008

I’ve been enjoying my new radio show of late… This is a good thing, because I was pretty unsure about it for the first few weeks. You see, for the previous four years, I’d been doing a weekly Canadian music show, which I unfortunately had to quit due to my teaching schedule this semester. When [...]

Wednesday = Karaoke Madness
October 30, 2008

The crew and I went out to do some sweet karaoke tonight… It was an excellent break after the last week of grading insanity. Advantageous: the bar was pretty dead (at least in the early evening), so we were able to cycle through pretty quickly. Not only that, but we all stepped up to the [...]

Radio Show (Oct. 23, 2008)
October 27, 2008

Since I am absolutely wiped after three consecutive days of *extreme midterm marking*, I figured this would be a good day to post my playlist for last week’s show (as that allows forĀ  a relatively low-intensity blog entry). On the whole, I was pretty pleased with how it went. Not only did I get to [...]

Radio Show (Oct. 16, 2008)
October 16, 2008

Did my weekly radio show today, which was rendered slightly more difficult by the fact that I have gotten (drumroll please) ten hours of sleep since Monday. I’m not operating at peak efficiency, but at least I got to spend some quality time with my lady friend (who was in town for a few days)… [...]

Radio Show (Oct. 9th, 2008)
October 14, 2008

As some of you may know, I do a new music show on local radio. On my most recent program, I decided that I generally wanted to stick to fun electro-pop for the duration of my show. The playlist was as follows:

Cut Copy – Hearts on Fire
Portishead – Nylon Smile
Chad van Gaalen – Phantom Anthills
Ratatat [...]

Mix Tape for Matt
October 3, 2008

A while ago, I was chatting with my roommate Matt about gifts and gift-giving, when he mentioned that no one had ever made him a mix CD before. I must admit, I was gobsmacked! Aren’t such CDs the stereotypical thoughtful-yet-safe gift? The ideal means of showing that you care without seeming like you spent an [...]
