Discovering Independent Music
I've been sleeping on this for too long now (pun definitely intended) but I thought this was a cool album to share if you're looking for something new, but at the same time familiar. Sleeping Brothers Records presents: Do Over! Volume 1: Covering the 70s The Sleeping Brothers Records label put out a release of… Continue reading Sleeping Brothers Records present: Do Over! Volume 1

In episode 51 of Alternative Airwave, I've got some new tracks from I Am Not Lefthanded and The Black Atlantic, and I also discuss some changes implemented by the Copyright Board of Canada, plus a show announcement for Streets of Hastings. That plus some other great music by folks such as Mouth's Cradle and The Monster Brothers.… Continue reading #51 – I Am Not Lefthanded, The Black Atlantic, Mouth’s Cradle
I finally made it to #50! I didn't get the chance to plan anything special - we'll leave that for number 100. In the show today: songs pulled from Mike's last ASR show; new tracks from Swedish pop bands; a demo from Brad Sucks; and a really cool cover of a Robert Palmer track.

Happy Cinco de Mayo, everyone! It's everybody's favourite Mexican holiday, because it's fun to pronounce. Today's podcast is actually NOT themed around this holiday, but it was too convenient to pass up for a name. Plenty of great stuff in this week's podcast, with songs coming from Jamendo, the Free Music Archive, and Wired.In Isolation >… Continue reading #49 – Cinco de Mayo
Time for another podcast! It feels like it's been a long time since I've released anything, and in a way, it has. While I was pretty pleased with the interview with Streets of Hastings, I haven't been very impressed with the quality of the podcasts I've released since then. I've got a more positive outlook… Continue reading #48 – Larisa & The Raindoggs, Sean T. Wright, and Streets of Hastings

If you want to check out the artists I would have played, links will follow the playlist.The United93 - Plastic Heart… Continue reading #45 – The United93, Barreracudas
Penultimate in the sense that this is the second-last podcast for 2011! I have some new tracks from 2011 (plus one FROM THE FUTURE aka January 2012 release from AF Music), and some more favourites from 2011 podcasts. I'm still undecided re: what to do for the December 31st podcast, but I have a couple… Continue reading #39 – The Penultimate Edition

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.
