I'm a big fan of the show, and especially of Mike's taste in music. Thanks to you Mike, I can say I am now a fan of The Helio Sequence, Apartment, Rogue Wave, Sea Wolf etc etc.
I was wondering if you have time, if you could update the list soon please.
Also I know that you are a fan of Architecture In Helsinki, The Presets, and Cut Copy. So I thought you might like to check the following Aussie acts out:
British India
Dappled Cities
Dash and Will
Deloris
The Drones
Empire of the Sun
Gotye
Howling Bells
Little Red
The Panics
The Sleepy Jackson
Sparkadia
The Temper Trap
Food For Thought - Ub 40 is a great song, dont know if you would want to put that in a cast but its a great little sticks out gets your attention and affects you tune.
listening in since episode 14 ... best poker show going, well done by all involved. if praise from a mediocre player who used to be the spoken word coordinator of a campus radio station isn't enough, i've got a song to recommend for the show too (there was a request for these a couple dozen shows ago, right?). anyway, the song is 'asteriod' by KYUSS ... seemed like a cut from this one would go well with the show.
Just saw this thread on the front page. For the record (I think this is all of them), there are 10 Canadian bands on the updated list (not updated to today, but still...)
I'm not a music nerd, but I've followed some of these bands since they began, etc. etc.
bss [best band anywhere in the world]
stars
hot hot heat
islands
metric
the dears [best dramatic, orchestral pop-romantique, best lead member/songwriter]
wintersleep [best Canadian rock, period. miss them at your own peril]
russian futurists
bedouin soundclash
sam roberts band
This is the first time I've used this list and I just want to thank MJ, I remember hearing some Sublime song last week and had no idea what it was called.
