Delightfully raunchy Canadian French folk music! I particularly enjoy track 6 (Dan Mon Litte). Personally, I really don’t understand what they’re saying (excepting the most rudimentary word here and there), but there are times when I cannot help but want to start a hoedown. If you love the United Steel Workers of Montreal, this is a great companion album.

Kishi Bashi is the solo project of K.

Playlist catchup
So, I’m finally catching up on posting playlists - I’ve got them all queued up to post once per day (and two on Saturday), so as to not be spamalicious (maliciously spamful). I’ll be back on Saturday at 5pm, and there are no imminent preemptions for basketball! I’ve also enabled commenting via Disqus on all posts - go ahead, drop me a line! You can also make requests or...

A quick note, my show will be moving to a new timeslot in the new year - I’ll now be kicking off your Saturday nights, from 5-7pm! Always on the internet at http://www.luradio.ca, and in Thunder Bay on CILU 102.7FM. The only caveat is occasional preemption for Thunder Wolves basketball, which means I’ll only have one hour shows every couple weeks.  Is everyone else still writing 2011 on...

Solid work from a local band - some clear Radiohead influences, along with occasional blues/roots.
