matt good performing

Our Lady Peace and Matthew Good will be touring together across Canada in 2018. The tour wraps up on March 31st at the Abbotsford Center.

When CFOX announced the show, I got some questions from listeners wondering about old comments Matthew Good made about Our Lady Peace back in 2000. The guys tackled the question then talked about why now is the time to tour together.

Go with yourself.

 

droeloe

Ruth from Minnesota didn’t send ME this song…she just posted about it on her twitter.

I could see of the fine folks I work with at Match loving this jam on Friday night. I better download it.

The artist is DROELOE and the song is “Sunburn.”

Michael sent this one over to the old music blog. Louis Futon.

“hey dude, thought you’d dig this since futon runs in the same crew as kasbo.” I do loves me Kasbo.

That’s all I got. Happy 60th birthday to my Mom!

Go with yourself.

jacob

My spotify Discover playlist was delivering the emo this week. must be all that EMO NIGHT BROOKLYN playlist I’ve been hitting! I’m not mad.

Jacob are an emo band from Wollongong, Australia. That’s easy enough.

These boys are channeling some 00s vibes.

Also liking this UK group Lonely the Brave and their cut “Two Heads.”

and our Monday emo masterset continues with New jersey’s Prawn.

And the final cut is LA’s Somos.

Party on!

Go with yourself.

DYGL

NME had a story about a new band out of Tokyo called DYGL. The band channels that 2000s garage rock sound. Their new record is called Say Goodbye to memory Den. The disc was produced by The Stroke’s guitarist Albert Hammond Jr.

Yeah man, feeling that tune.

Happy Friday!

Go with yourself.

alma
Hunter in Denver took two seconds away from the till during a busy Black Friday to send a couple remixes for our Friday playlists.

Finnish singer Alma and French Montana’s “Phases” gets remixed by Autograf.

Joji’s “Will He” redone by Medasin is chill. so chill.

Go with yourself.

wet paint fall aprt

James and Dan of Wet Paint sent over their remix of Post Malone’s “Fall Apart.”

The Halifax duo write in an email, “we’re actually working on an album but wanted to release this flip of Post Malone‘s new single because it’s been tieing in really well with our live sets.”

Go with yourself.

Kasbo baby NYC

21-year-old Swede Kasbo has a new remix to check out. Kasbo trades in a bouncy and light style of house music.

He says of this remix, “Was an honor to remix Jai Wolf’s iconic song Indian Summer. Was challenging to make it my own cause I felt that the song was very much what it was supposed to be already. Ended up doing a few remixes, all of which were very similar to the original, but finally I decided that I had to do something completely different, which became the final product. Super proud. Hope you enjoy”

Happy Monday!

Go with yourself.

san holo

Homegirl Ruth from Minnesota sent over the new San Holo.  The song is called “One Thing.”

“Wandering, wandering…searching all the world for One Thing.”

Finally got around to setting up a Dungeons & Dragons adventure. Meredith and Alex Carr form CFOX joined me and my buddy Paul for a game. I’m new to the new rules and Alex and Mer have never played so we took it easy with the stock adventure that come sin the D&D beginners box set.

Go with yourself.

Beach Slang

I love when sometime in the past I order a record…forget about it, then it arrives!

Last night I came home after a long day of work to a package from Polyvinyl. They finally sent me Quiet Slang’s We Were Babies & We Were Dirtbags ep. The 7-inch has two Beach Slang songs broken down and then two covers.

James Alex talks about the project, “most of the time, I’m caught in a tug-of-war between the gutter and the light, fighting to figure out where I fall. Look, all the best stuff is part-cracked and part-patched. The best humans are made the same. And that’s all this is-a love letter to all my friends who thought they were meant to die young. See?-we made it.”

I love the two covers. The Replacements “Androgynous” and Big Star’s “Thirteen.”

the two Beach Slang songs are glorious as well. Piano, cello… amazing.

ugh… and it is so pretty.

Liv Wade sent over her new ep called Resilience.

Liv says of the recordings; “each song that I wrote, comes with many stories and is the most vulnerable I have felt with sharing.”
