Top album title: The year of magical drinking by Apex Manor.

A pretty groovy show, I think. My top plays from today's set:
*"If you have ghosts" by Roky Erickson, one of music's top acid casualties. I love the line "If you have ghosts then you have everything". A truism perhaps?
*The extended version of "Feel so good" from Jefferson Airplane. A great guitar workout on top of wonderful playing by the bass, drums, and rhythm guitar.
*"Open out" by Chris Parrello. Probably my fave track from this week and maybe the best new album this week.
*The New Jacobin Club's "Kronos devours his children". Best title for the week.
Everything else was good too!
I will be subbing for Kerry Clarke on her show, Alternative To What?, this Thursday, Feb. 3, 4-6 pm. Kerry is one of the most experienced programmers on CJSW and always does a great show. I will do my best to fill her big shoes.
Next edition of Breaking The Tethers will be on Monday, Feb. 7, 7 am. Join me then!

This was my first show back after being away for a couple of weeks (went on a Caribbean cruise, had a great time). I wasn't behind the board for the Jan. 10 and 17 editions of Breaking The Tethers but Nathan Taylor subbed for me on both programs - many thanks to Nathan for doing this!
The main feature of today's show was the live performance by Lauren Mann and the Fairly Odd Folk (Lauren and Zoltan). Promoting their new album (Stories from home) and an upcoming lengthy 64-date Canadian tour, they played three songs live in the CJSW studio and we did an interview. They're nice folks with nice music and I wish them well as they hit the road.
No live music next week (so far) but lots of recorded stuff, as always.

"Force field" - Stanley Schumacher and the Music Now Ensemble (Jive at 5:05)
"Amsterdamned" - Joal Kamps (Sojourner)
"Happy birthday, Mr. Burns"
"Duck" - Celano Baggiani Group (Alienology)
"Disco bush" - Day of the Maniac (Day of the Maniac)

"229" - Gordon Grdina Trio With Mats Gustafsson (Barrel fire)
"Face a: salaryman's dream" - Philippe Petit (Scores Henry: the iron man)
This first program of 2011 definitely had an experimental edge to it. I didn't quite plan things this way but I ended up playing a fair number of pieces that could be labelled "experimental music" in some way or other. And I fit in the Ramones' appearance on the Simpsons plus started things off with a recording of an exorcism (from Eno and Byrne's freaky "The jezebel spirt"). This all sounds good to me.
I will be away for the next two shows, January 10 and 17, 2011. Breaking The Tethers will still take place, with a fill-in host or hosts (I'm not sure who will be I will return to the air for the January 24 edition, which will feature a live performance by Lauren Mann and the Fairly Odd Folk (who I played today).
