1. The Rest - The Short Night-Strangers on a Train
2. The Rest - A New Pair of Jeans [Acid Wash Mix]
3. Going Commando - Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots

Welcome to another episode of Alternative Airwaves!  In today's show, a sort-of tribute to Sharon Jones (who passed away November 18th 2016), and a couple of cover songs of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah (he passed away November 7th 2016).  Also - I got the name of a song wrong during the show.  The track by Reole ft. Sophie Mendoza is actually titled "It's A New Day".

Summer seems to have suddenly switched on!  At least, that's the case in Ottawa.  In today's slightly shorter episode, I've picked some "classic" songs and some newer songs, and also was completely unaware of the technical glitches at the start of the podcast.  No solid topics of conversation in the show, just lots of great music.  If you're an App developer, you have until June 9th to submit something to the Jamendo App Contest.

To listen, download from Archive.org, iTunes, or Stitcher.  Please note I am aware of the technical issues downloading the podcast from iTunes; if you have an iOS device, you should be able to download from the Podcasts app without problem.  Or just get Stitcher - it's pretty great.

Script Hi and welcome to Alternative Airwaves - I'm your host Steve, bringing you the best in Creative Commons music. This is the Weekly Airwave: one track with some information about the song or the artist.

This week's track: Astronauts by Parker. Here's a description of the artist and the track from Jamendo.com: Parker is a band from Miami, Florida, comprising of Reed F. Gaines and Carter Vail. The pair met at the Frost School of Music in 2015 and began making music later that year. Parker released their eponymous EP in April of 2018, featuring Lo-Fi indie music with a nod towards Alt-Country. Parker will be releasing their next single, ‘Astronauts’ on November 16th under Dreamtime Palace, with an EP to follow in early 2019.

If you're wondering, the MICROKORG is a synth from Korg released in 2002, and still in production today. Listen for it as you take in Parker's "Astronauts". Be sure to check out alternative airwaves dot com for more podcasts and music reviews. See you next time.

It's been two weeks, so that means it's time for a new podcast! I normally get these up on the same Saturday that I record them, but events this weekend that may or may not have had something to do with watching Moneyball and baking an apple crumble served to interfere with those plans. In any case, here is your latest podcast! Savour it, because it may appear in a slightly different format two weeks from now (insert ominous chords here).

No fancy title today, my mind was a little blanked.  A couple of notes for this episode before you listen: one, I was trying a new method of recording (that ended up being much less convoluted), so there are going to be a couple of hiccups here and there - especially at the beginning, where my voice is overpowered by the music. Woops!  Two, because of the microphone I have and the method I used, my mic had to be on at all times, so there may be some background noises throughout the podcast.  As I warned on Twitter, my dog probably makes a frequent appearance in the first segment.

Now that's out of the way, onto the show notes!

The podcast this week is a little different than what most might be expecting - as I mentioned in the last episode, I've been planning a couple of theme podcasts.  Welcome to Themecast #1!  All the music in today's show is swing music.  This has resulted in a slightly shorter show actually, because it was slightly difficult to find music to fit the bill - well, music that I liked.  I think I found some great stuff; listen for yourself and decide!  Playlist follows below...

Playlist:

1. Latché Swing - Sweet Georgia Brown
2. Aló Django - How High the Moon / I Got Rhythm
3. The Mobcat Orchestra - Mobcat Swing
4. The Swing Ninjas - King of the Swingers
5. The Underscore Orkestra - Devil with the Devil (Still don't know if this is original or trad. but I think it's original)

I wanted to test out an audio set up on my computer before going on vacation, so I put together this little half-podcast.  Here are the artists I played on the most ridiculous set up ever:

• Michael Jameson Band - Summer Love

Last Saturday night I made myself a nice cup of coffee with eggnog (I swear, there was no rum involved) and settled in to do what looks to be my last podcast of 2010.  Things are just going to be too busy in the next couple of weeks, though I MAY end up doing a surprise 'cast next week if I get the free time.  You just never know!

I have an announcement to make about a podcast coming up in January 2011, but I'll save that for a separate blog post.

 There were some nice highlights this episode, including a really cool MJ cover.  Here's the playlist.

1. HoboTwang - Alone in the House
2. She Swings, She Sways - What I Wouldn't Do [NOTE: I learned just now that this band broke up]
3. Paper Tiger - Sandy
4. Josh Woodward - Revolution Now
5. Joey Kneiser - Bruised Ribs
6. The Transisters - JB is Dead
7. Loudspeaker Alliance - Revolt
8. Jens Wennberg - Tux
9. InAshton - Will You Be There

Welcome to Episode 3 of Alternative Airwaves!  This week's episode features the album Continuous Error by Loudspeaker Alliance!  Some notes for the show:

• This podcast also features my dog chewing away at a plastic bottle in some breaks
• The podcast was recorded on my desktop computer, at home (still no studio yet)
• The theme music is Brad Sucks' (http://www.bradsucks.ne/t) Making Me Nervous from the album I Don't Know What I'm Doing; the audio at the start is from a Fantastic Four audio episode (link to come later), and I'm pretty sure that's Stan Lee's voice beckoning you to listen closely.
• Check out Loudspeaker Alliance on Facebook! http://www.facebook.com/loudspeakeralliance
• Here is a link for Recite the Plan: http://www.myspace.com/recitetheplan
• Here is the video for The Picard Song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6oUz1v17Uo
• The bonus audio at the end is from this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkBVDh7my9Q
• In my script I called myself DJ Stylish Steve.

Enjoy!!

Back with a new show this week!  I scoured the Internet for new releases, and had to stretch a bit for what I considered to be "2013" new releases.  What I found were some pretty great tracks, and if it wasn't technically a new release, it's a bit of a preview of what is to come this year.  Going by the tracks I picked, it looks like we're going to have another great year of Creative Commons-licensed music!

Technically it's still January, so it's not TOO late for a look back at last year in music.  I specifically took music from Jamendo's Best of 2013 playlist, and FrostWire's Creative Commons Mixtape Vol. 4.  Some great music on both, plus a quick look ahead at the year to come.  Enjoy!

Episode 4 is here!  Albeit late!  But I sat through a thunderstorm while recording this, risking losing all my work in the process.  Today's podcast features Paper Navy, and their album All Grown Up.  Here are some notes:

• The opening track was called Here Comes the Rain by Wilson Noble
• My poor dog was freaking out for the duration of the podcast; I dedicate it to him
• I recorded this with my bizarre set up again - using two different Skype accounts between two computers.
• I apologize for the popping p's.  I am going to try to fix these next episode.
• The closing track was called Heroines, by Diablo Swing Orchestra.  Read their mythology at their official website.  Seriously, check out their music.  It is nuts.  I think I will have to do a podcast for them alone one day.

Script Hi and welcome to Alternative Airwaves - I'm your host Steve, bringing you the best in Creative Commons music. This is the Weekly Airwave: one track with some information about the song or the artist.

This week's track: Wild by The Rabbits. Wild is a quiet folk track from "Tall Pines and Tangled Vines", a 2018 debut LP by The Rabbits. The Rabbits hail from the UK, but are listed as Canadian on Jamendo - probably because they recorded their record at Orchid Studios in Vancouver, B-C - and they are also touring around Canada. Apparently they're doing this from a van they've been living in for almost a year. That's dedication to their music! Follow them on Jamendo or at the rabbits dot com.

Script

Hi and welcome to Alternative Airwaves - I'm your host Steve, bringing you the best in Creative Commons music. This is the Weekly Airwave: one track with some information about the song or the artist.

This week's track: My Sweet and Sour Room by Icicle. This is an instrumental track by Montreal artist Icicle; I found this by looking at similar artists to Lower Loveday from last week's episode. I don't normally pick out instrumental tracks, but I really liked the beat and instrument choice in this song. Icicle is actually Krassy Halatchev, and has Bulgarian origins. I think you can really hear some of his influences come through in this track. You can follow him on Jamendo or icicle dot club.

Be sure to check out alternative airwaves dot com for more podcasts and music reviews. See you next time.

Welcome to the first episode under the (latest) format change!  The theme for today's show is SOUL.  Specifically, soul music.  In the show, I ask the question - if Soul Music comes from the black American experience, can international artists capture that same vibe?  Find out on today's show!  Oh, also - I plan on making the shows better.  Trust me.

It's Saturday afternoon, and now's as good a time as any to release a podcast!  I had no central theme today - just thought I'd find some cool Creative Commons music and string together a show.  Still, I seem to have gravitated to a mostly Punk-themed selection but there should be a little bit for everyone (except maybe the hip hop crowd).

Script Hi and welcome to Alternative Airwaves - I'm your host Steve, bringing you the best in Creative Commons music. This is the Weekly Airwave: one track with some information about the song or the artist.

This week's track: Don't Wait by The Halt. What do you know - another track out of the US. This time, The Halt: a rock group that formed in 2017 featuring Neil Matharoo (from the band Soundstatues) and Andrew Schwartz, both from Brooklyn. They don't have any albums on Jamendo, but they do have four singles at the time of recording. Don't Wait is a good mix of alternative and grunge, leaning more on the alt rock spectrum. You can buy their music at the halt dot band camp dot com.

Hopefully the fan I had on to cool down the "studio" didn't cause too much background noise. I had a fun time putting together this playlist, and listening as I recorded. I guess if you read the track listing, the "secret cover song" won't be so secret!

My apologies for the very delayed Blog post for the latest podcast.  You see, I've been quite busy at work, and there was a wedding I went to, and...well I was busy.  But it's been up on iTunes for just under a week now, so maybe you might like some links to the artists I mentioned?

• The topic of discussion (this is A New Thing) is "Beards" - inspired by this band, which I heard via Rathole Radio
• Allison Crowe - Imagine
• Bella Ruse - Hold Me Close
• The State Lottery - Coming Alive
• Sexy Mathematics - Transmissions
• Beastie Boys - Now Get Busy
• Brad Sucks - Model Home (demo) - Check out his new project, Guess Who's A Mess
• Two Helens - Gun

I didn't have anything prepared, so I went and downloaded a bunch of remixes from ccmixter.org.  Actually, I used the new "dig.ccmixter" tool that they just launched.  Check it out here.

""Dog Days" (Latin: diēs caniculārēs) are the hottest, most sultry days of summer.  Dog Days can also define a time period or event that is very hot or stagnant, or marked by dull lack of progress. The name comes from the ancient belief that Sirius, also called the Dog Star, in close proximity to the sun was responsible for the hot weather." -- Wikipedia

Your eyes are not lying! I'm going away this weekend, so I thought I would release the podcast a few days early.  It's a little long this time around, but since it's been three weeks since the last episode, I figured nobody will mind!  Some great music in there, starting off hard and fast and ending on a similarly strong note.  Except for one or two songs, everything in the podcast has been featured on the blog in the last three weeks. Direct Download (42 MB) - Length: 46:02

1. Prepare to Meet Thy Broom! - High Like it's 1989 - This song is one of the many awesome funky songs I found last Thursday.  That mixtape is still on its way.
2. MC Frontalot - Spoiler Alert - I really mentioned the infamous MC in passing, but I haven't ever featured his songs on the podcast so I thought it was about time.
3. Hot Fiction - War of Attrition - Awesome band, played them before - this song just fit perfectly for the set.
4. The White Soots - If I Go - great bluesy rock band that sometimes channels The Black Keys
5. The Polymorphines - The Clean and The Dirty - Great Ottawa band that is having a CD Release party this Saturday!  Go, if you can make it.  Details are here. *NOTE: I may have mentioned the EP is for free download.  It is not; it is however only $4 US! Very good price.
6. The Search - Distant - awesome song, really reminded me of the 80s when I heard it.  The rest of their album is much like this.
7. Ellus Bellus - Sticks, Stones and My Bones - I think this band has just about the best band name and the best album name on this entire podcast.
8. Gunther Brown - Minnesota - If I'm to believe the lyrics, Gunther Brown really don't like Minnesota.
9. Bella Ruse - Heart of Everyone - Played them simply because they're from Minnesota.
10. Not From Georgia - Caroline - Great band, plays catchy folk/pop music and licenses everything under Creative Commons.  Followed me on Twitter, so I checked 'em out.
11. These Animals - Four to the Floor - Great song at the end of their EP, it's also up for a remix contest of sorts at Aaahh Records.

Thanks for listening / downloading!  I hope you enjoy your own dog days of summer.

Script Hi and welcome to Alternative Airwaves - I'm your host Steve, bringing you the best in Creative Commons music. This is the Weekly Airwave: one track with some information about the song or the artist.

This week's track: Undercover by Neon Niteclub. This group reminds me a ton of Canada's own Chromeo. Neon Niteclub is from the US, and describe themselves as "80s pop with a modern twist". Undercover comes from the 2018 album Blue Electric Eyes (be sure to check out that track as well). You can find their music on jamendo dot com or neon niteclub dot bandcamp dot com.

Hope you enjoy Undercover - be sure to check out alternative airwaves dot com for podcasts and music reviews. See you next time.

Episode 11 has a funky soul groove going for it - thanks to the featured artist, SOULED OUT and their No Name Funk EP.  It is currently available on iTunes but you can also download it directly here if you don't use that particular program.

Track Listing: CEREALES KILLERS - Feel It SOULED OUT - No Name Funk EP JAMES JR - Let's Stay Together

Here's the translated portion from Souled Out's website that I read (and I stress it's improperly translated from German):

Ingredients, such as the tight rhythm section, horns, and fat are to be understood by itself is refined the whole thing with a strong vocal part and surprising arrangements and interpretations.  Detailed recipe follows.

I'm trying something different with today's podcast - an audio magazine of sorts!  I'd like to be a little more informative, or at least different, instead of being just a podcast that plays a bunch of music.  So my idea with this is to draw back on the music a little and focus on other things...which right now is not much.  But one step at a time!  In today's episode, a look at the short film Blinky and Hot Fiction's latest album, Apply Within.
