Wow, I am actually posting it a day after the show, fastest post since the summer!
Today's show was one I am very pleased with, has a nice variety, and many great artists with very different sounds are crammed within 90 minutes. My favourite part is the juxtaposition between Gogol Bordello and This Mortal Coil, which really embodies what I aimed to create with this program.
1) Om- Thebes (God is Good)
2) Ensemble Plolaris- Klosterjungfurun (Vikings on Vacation)
3) Satomi Sakei- Matsuri No Taiko (Japanese Koto Music)
4) Nudge- Harmo (As Good As Gone)
5) Gogol Bordello- American Wedding (Live From Axis Mundi)
6) This Mortal Coil- Another Day (It'll End in Tears)
7) Tegan and Sara- The Ocean (Sainthood)
8) Language Arts- Where Were You in the Wild (Where Were You in the Wild)
9) We Are Wolves- Dreams (Invisible Violence)
10) The Slits- Reject (Trapped Animal)
11) Throbbing Gristle- Convincing People (20 Jazz Funk Greats)
12) Air- So Light is Her Footfall (Love 2)

The Return of Coalesce and other goodies
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.
The playlist:
1) Coalesce- The Plot Against My Love (Ox)
2) Coalesce- In My Wake, For My Own (Ox)

5) Entombed- Living Dead (Clandestine)
6) Field Assembly- Out of the Arms (Broadshades & Ephemera)

11) Tangerine Dream- Betrayal (Sorcerer Original Soundtrack)
