The return of Coalesce wasn't a theme per se, but today's program opened with two songs off of their stunning new album Ox, their first one since 1999s 0:12 Revolution in Just Listening. Coalesce, along with Converge and Botch, are the what I consider to be the three most important hardcore bands to come from the late 1990s/early 2000s and influence countless pale imitators. Another minor theme in today's program was Elliott Smith, for his music was featured in the form of Nadja's cover of "Needle in the Hay," and from Elliott Smith himself with "Ballad of Big Nothing." Overall, I was rather pleased with today's program, and I think it turned out to be among my best. Stream it from cjam.ca if you get the chance.
