Soundtracks for the Alpha State
Post-punk. Post-sanity. Post-posting. A variety show with trace amounts of LSD, where anything can happen. Like a mood-swinging, genre-busting indie trash Lawrence Welk who walked into an Urban Outfitters in 2005 and never quite left. Probably not great for your health. Do not consume unless operating heavy machinery. Stay classy, Toronto. See you next week.

A tribute to a band that's near and dear to my heart, the North Carolinian "punk rock for sissies" trio, Ben Folds Five. This episode has selections from four of their albums: Naked Baby Photos, Whatever and Ever Amen, The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner, and finally, The Sound of the Life of the Mind. I hope you enjoy this! :)

A tribute episode for the New York/Paris dream pop trio, Ivy. One of my all-time favourite bands. With moody melodies and breathy vocals, Ivy is the band you didn't know you loved until now.(Rest in peace, Adam Schlesinger!)

The soundtrack special for Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker. This might be my nerdy proclivities talking, but the music is out of this world good. I hope you all enjoy!

It's my birthday, so I'm indulging by playing some of my all time favourite artists and songs. It's not much different than what I normally do on this show - but it's indulgent.
