Tonight, a show I’ve been thinking about doing since I started at UMFM, a beginners’ guide to Rheostatics. One of my favourite bands of all time, and a band that changed my life forever, Rheostatics albums don’t always jump out at new listeners; sometimes they’re a bit hard to get into. Tonight’s show culls some of the most amazing and accessible songs by one of Canada’s most legendary and respected bands, in honour of their near-Rheunion in Toronto this week.

Today an interview with Dave Bidini, author, sports enthusiast, and musical leader of Bidiniband and Rheostatics, perhaps the most significant musical force in my life. Nervous? Yup. Once things settle down, some local show previews, more great new music and some more considerations for that year-end best of list.

Mini tributes to Toronto legends Rheostatics & Lowest of the Low (and their respective leaders), as well as stellar upcoming local shows, and some peppy pop to top it all off.

A few tunes today to kick off THE BIG GAME (once we figure out what that game is), before veering off into holiday territory. The holidays get us thinking about those year-end best of lists, so we’ve got some new and notable contenders for those considerations. And, of course, some exciting shows to preview, this time Willy Porter and the return of The Wooden Sky.
