Sept 20th, 2009

I had so much pent up music ready to play since last week. I thought it came out fairly well. Well, really well actually. Next week will be so up-to-date, cause there are so many great shows coming the week after. And, since it's beyond the fact, I hate that Fucked Up won the Polaris prize this year. Elliott Brood should have won it hands down.

Dangit, I didn't pound together my epic show like I wanted. Instead it will seep into the subconscious of all following shows. Like this one. As is the way. Exploring lots of new music here:

Metric - Blindness

I will play Blue King Brown & The Burning Hell for the next 8 weeks at least. They burned up my summer. I absolutely love their albums - Stand Up & baby respectively. While the Weakerthans make me miss home, these two protect me from all sorts of homesick.

August 30th, 2009!

Yo it's Jocelyn! Back at it dirty & wreckless! Okay okay this thing is one day late. But in my defense, the net was down at the station. Also in my defense, we have milk in the fridge that expired June 20th. So this isn't very...expired. I apologize if you were refreshing refreshing refreshing, knowing I wouldn't leave you hanging, clenching your fists & screaming at the sky, up all night restless to see what I've played... If this is the case, I apologize. If not, suck it up. Seriously.

Pent up for two months, and needed a release. This is my Comfort Music show. Which turns out to be the "Best of" all the shows I've done in the past. Everything has it's place. Next week will be quite epic with things I've compiled from all over. Stay tuned!
