This year, The Pastels released their first album since 1997, this band was there during the start of the C86-twee movement back in the mid-80s. Apart from the great song that I played from the album, I also have a link below to the great video that really has a great feel to it. The rest of the show consisted of me trying to clear out a lot of music before the end of the year.
Best song I heard since the last show - The Pastels - Check My Heart - Here the song here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjxYLFWxR6E

It seems that I got a lot of ideas for this show my new favourite twitter feed from Indie Pop Saved My Life ( @indiepopSML and see the link to their facebook page below). They are always posting about great up and coming as well as established indie pop artists. Those songs made up a lot of the first two sets and then I ended off the show with some funky songs that I've had around for along time
Best song I heard since the last show - The Short Stories - Are You Listening Now? - Here the song here http://theshortstories.bandcamp.com/album/are-you-listening-now-ep

In a rare move I started out with an electro/funky set which started with my top song of the week, a band that played Osheaga that I didn't know about at the time I went to the festival. I also got to play a song by a band with one of the best names out there "Throw That Beat In The Garbagecan!" , the song is also pretty good.
Best song I heard since the last show - Disclosure - When A Fire Starts To Burn - See the video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nsKDJlpUbA

For the first time this year I went to the Osheaga festival in Montreal, I had heard about it for many years and it was great, I would recommend it to anyone. I did a lot of talking during the show to recap all my impressions of the festival. I couldn't play all the bands that played, but touched on most of the ones that I saw which impressed me.
Best song I heard since the last show - The Heavy - What Makes A Good Man - See the video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08h0IVs4RKQ
