Green Eggs and Ham: Double Down

Last Thursday, I actually did 4 hours of radio. The following playlist is for the first 2 only. Partly because it's a week late and I feel bad, partly because in the second set of two hours I took advantage of a largely different audience from my regular one to play lots of stuff I've played before (although there were requests for Woodhands and MC5 thrown into the mix). What follows will have to do. It was pretty rad:

The Mountain Goats - "Up The Wolves"
Hot Panda - "Future Markets"
Black Mountain - "In Sequence"
Cinderpop - "Summers in the Shelter"
Islands - "Can't Feel My Face"
Shearwater - "Pushing the River"

Dusted - "(Into The) Atmosphere"
Muneshine - "The City"
Handsome Furs - "Dead + Rural"
Divine Fits - "Would That Not Be Nice"
Quadrant Khan - "It's Your Dying Wish"
Mr. Oizo - "WC"
Diamond Rings - "I'm Just Me"
Beck - "I Just Started Hating Some People Today"
Mark Davis - "Eliminate The Toxins"
Shadow Folk - "Heaven's Gate"
New Kids on the Block - "This One's For The Children"
The xx - "Angels"
Jets Overhead - "Beach Dream"
Mark Sultan - "Misery's Upon Us"
The Spits - "Wanna b A.D.D."
Talk Normal - "Bad Date"

Green Eggs and Ham: What's The Rush?

I was a little bit late this morning. Of course, I could blame my lateness on Saskatoon's crushing heat wave and my noisy neighbours spontaneously conspiring to render my ability to achieve a sleep-state as impossible as Iceland's summer Olympic hopes or I could face facts and admit I'm bad at mornings. That's why I kicked off the show with the classic Pursuit of Happiness gem "I'm An Adult Now". It's time to take responsibility for my shortcomings. Wait, I was only 10 minutes late? I arrived in time to do everything I'm supposed to do? Ok, forget about all that "taking responsibility" malarky, I'm going to shirk like nobody's business. Here's this morning's playlist:


Pursuit of Happiness - "I'm An Adult Now"
The Danks - "What's The Rush?"
Apollo Ghosts - "Why Can't I Be The Man On Stage?"
COUSINS - "Thunder"
Cold Showers - "Double Life"

METZ - "Headache"
Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - "Only In My Dreams"
Tame Impala - "Apocalypse Dreams"
Taken By Trees - "Dreams"

Green Eggs and Ham: Turn Up The Radio

I may have veered towards weird this morning. Any place of business that had the wherewithal to turn on CFCR and the fortitude to leave it on may have been met with consternation and skepticism from their clientele: if that did happen, it's simply proof that the clients aren't cool enough. Personally, I found this morning's mix of mainstream-esque pop with one-off misdirects of strange sounds kept it fresh. Maybe it's just me. Here's the playlist:


Los Campesinos! - "Tiptoe Through the True Bits"
Spools - "Spool VI"
Wolfcow - "Caveman Bones"
Peer Support - "Kremlin Gremlin"
One Hundred Dollars - "Work"
Foxygen - "Waitin' 4 U"
Thee Oh Sees - "Lupine Dominus"
Ty Segall Band - "I Bought My Eyes"
Father John Misty - "I'm Writing A Novel"
Royal Wood - "When the Sun Comes Up"
Elk - "Every Girl That I Meet"
Cat Power - "Ruin"
Mungolian Jetset - "Toccata"
Fur - "Knots"
Purity Ring - "Fineshrines"
Unicorns - "I Don't Wanna Die"
Unnatural Helpers - "Hate Your Teachers"
Caymans - "Hard Feelings"
Seapony - "What You Wanted"
Fist City - "The Creeps"
Colonel Abrams - "Trapped"**
Ice Choir - "I Want You Now And Always"
The Pains of Being Pure At Heart - "The Body"
Sheer Agony - "She's An Artist"
Korean Gut - "If You Want"
Camp Radio - "Turn Up The Radio"
Young Guv & The Scuzz - "Heal Over Time"
