It would be strange for a Belle and Sebastian album to come out and it not be my top song of the week. Although after the first few listens, I do have to admit, I just wasn't getting into "Write About Love", but since then it has grown on me and I had a hard decision to pick which track to play on the show. Then there was the added bonus of seeing them at Massey Hall last month, a perfect place to see one of my all time favourite bands.
In fact all the songs first set were from albums that I had recently bought (B&S, Antarctica Takes It! and The Drums) while the other two were songs from albums that haven't even been released yet (Acid House Kings, and Lykke Li). The Acid House Kings album should be out early next year while there is no time line that I have seen for Lykke Li. I love that the Acid House Kings have shared a spreadsheet on Google Docs where you can follow the progress of the album all the way from writing the melody and chorus, to recording the vocals, to final mastering. See the link below to follow along yourself.
The rest of sets went from female pop, to indie rock, ending with a slower set to take us out. I ended with a song by the late great Solomon Burke. I had the extreme pleasure of seeing him perform while attending a conference in Italy, he was a true showman who obviously greatly enjoyed what he was doing. Thus it is not surprising that he died while travelling to do a concert.

The show started out with yet another song that I got from the show Central Services on CFRU, it is a song by the Divine Comedy which might just be dismissed as a novelty song that is an excuse to mention a bunch of indie pop bands. But Neil Hannon just captures the spirit of going to the same place every week with the same bunch of friends listening to the same songs so well that it works. Although it wasn't a Thursday night and we didn't call it the "indie disco", with all the years that my friends and I used to go to a little place called "Phil's Grandson's Place" in Waterloo every weekend back in the day, this song could have been about us.
Also in that set I played the Library Voices, I know that I talked about them when they were my top song a few shows ago, but having seen them live again a few weeks ago I have to again recommend doing what you can to see them live, they put on such a great, fun, high energy show.
The rest of the show consisted of great indie pop from the various podcasts and blogs that I frequent and as I had a backlog of electropop, I played a set of it at the end. And do yourself a favour and listen to the last song of the show "Roving Woman" by Connie Converse as it gives some good advice to the ladies out there.

I urge you to listen to the link below of my top song of the week, it is one of those top songs that I just have to listen to at least once a day. Unfortunately I fell in love with this acoustic version of the song that of course is different than the one on the album, has that ever happened to you? I guess I will have to learn to love them both.
As it turns out, although it wasn't my original intent, the first set worked out as all female singers while the second set was all male.
The soul set I mostly stole from the former CKMS and now CFRU show Central Services where Cory and Trevor did a special feature a few months back called "Spring into soul". I loved so many of the songs, that I just had to put them on the podcast. Find out more about Central Services here: http://www.cfru.ca/showinfo.php?show_id=241
And as a bonus on this one, try and figure out the talking bit when I was out of breath and just barely keeping it together.

Although it seems like so long ago, this was the show where I played songs by bands that I saw at this year's Hillside Festival. Although there wasn't a big name band there that I had not seen before, there were still enough smaller surprises that it was good time.
Then came a set of cool new indie pop from the likes of Juni Jarvi, The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, and the Salteens. I also noticed that the Salteens were playing some shows around Canada, but I was surprised that they were doing 2 shows a day during the afternoon in really big arenas. So it turns out they are playing as part of the traveling Yo Gabba Gabba show. This is a kids program that for some reason has had a crazy list of indie pop bands who have appeared on the show including the Salteens.
It was also far too long since I managed to squeeze in an electro-pop set so I did. And I even managed to find a song with sound bytes from Stephen Hawking who spent the summer working at a physics institute in Waterloo. However, I was disappointed that I didn't see him around town, I thought that he might be hanging out at the Jane Bond or at the Princess.

For this show I did a spotlight on the 'net-label' eardrumspop ( www.eardrumspop.com ) which appears to be a 'label' in the sense that they release compilations for free (with permission of the bands) on the hope that people will fall in love with the bands and buy their stuff. Although they suggest making a donation to a charity when you download an album.
With 2 sets from eardrumpop it meant that over half of the songs on the podcast can be freely downloaded, that's kind of cool.
Now, if they put out hard core metal I wouldn't be that interested, but of course with the sweet indie pop that comes from their factory I'm hooked. At the beginning of the summer they put out 3 separate compilations, each with a slightly different sound, Volume 3 is my favourite.
In the last set I finally broke out of the indie-pop straightjacket and brought the funk back to Fireball XL5.

This show was all about the NYC Popfest that I went to a few weeks back. Although they didn't have the big names like last year and the fact that I missed some bands I really wanted to see because of transportation problems, it was still a good time.
The band I enjoyed the most was a band from way back called The Wake who were on Factory Records with New Order and then went on to have some releases on Sarah Records. I really enjoyed their show and I feel embarrassed that I didn't know anything about them beforehand. They broke up in the mid-90s but have reformed in the last 6 months and have played a handful of shows including the NYC Popfest, they are also planning on releasing a new album this year.
As a started the show with 2 sets from bands that played the Popfest, I stuck to indie pop for the rest of the show.

The band I enjoyed the most was a band from way back called The Wake who were on Factory Records with New Order and then went on to have some releases on Sarah Records. I really enjoyed their show and I feel embarrassed that I didn't know anything about them beforehand. They broke up in the mid-90s but have reformed in the last 6 months and have played a handful of shows including the NYC Popfest, they are also planning on releasing a new album this year.
As a started the show with 2 sets from bands that played the Popfest, I stuck to indie pop for the rest of the show.
Websites I mentioned during the show:
Great site about the NYC Popfest:
