CJMP Podcast

Podcast for the last Friday in August, 2014. No guests, just lots of great music including The Raveonettes, new New Pornographers, Mounties, Cibo Matto and more! And, of course, all the events you need to know about to plan your week ahead. Cheers!

Happy 51st birthday to Liz Fraser of Cocteau Twins; a new track from White Manna's Live Frequencies album released this week; some old friends and some new, including a couple from the hot new Psychedelic Underground Generation #21 compilation. It's all too much.

I'm joined in-studio by Nicholas Simons, and Amy Sharp calls in to let us know everything we need to know about Beer on the Pier!

#AtmosphereGathering breakdown, Janet Roger's interview with Tanya Tagaq, 2 Dope Boys in A Cadillac live at Atmosphere, Atomic Heart Festival Of Solo Performers 2 breakdown, what's coming up at Sunshine Music Festival, Crea8tive Differences: I'm Going to Burning Man (and you're not) Aurora Innovative Arts Festival and more!

A fit of coughing and occasional mental lapses seem to prefigure a kind of psychic breakdown, possibly the symptoms of early-onset don't-give-a-fuck-ism or some other terrible affliction. Nonetheless, through the murk and uneven sound levels come occasional signs of quality and effort. Don't kid yourself, though: the good bits won't last long. In the end, we all die alone. TURN IT UP LOUD!
