WAFFLES! episodes

  • Poverty: February 9, 2019
    Take good care of the poor boy! Sloan speaks the truth (as always) in this edition of WAFFLES!, where we play music both _about_ and _by_ the poor — from the destitute composer Debussy to the mad preaching captured in Front 242’s “Welcome to Paradise,” it’s a whirlwind tour of emptied pockets. The struggles of […]

  • Spiders! February 2, 2019
    Spiders! Spiders! SPIDERS! From the Royal Scottish Orchestra playing “The Spider Rejoices” straight through the ill-fated (but later feted) David Bowie Glass Spider tour, it’s all spiders on this edition of WAFFLES!

  • Writing: January 26, 2019
    Songs about writing — and authors, and in some cases reading — on this very literary WAFFLES!, starting with the free jazz of Ornette Coleman and ending with a novel cover of the Beatles’ “Paperback Writer” by the B-52s. In the interim, everything from Prince to Lana Del Rey, from Dexy’s Midnight Runners to Nick […]

  • Magic! January 19, 2019
    Do you believe in magic? The Norwegians do! We’ll hear from them later in the show on an all-magic-themed edition of WAFFLES!, ranging from stage magic to straight up witchcraft. Marisa gets the pull of the week award with a classic metal track, and much hay is made of various things including cold weather, the fate of the […]

  • Swing, Baby, Swing! January 12, 2019

    Friend of the show Tony is a co-host for a jazz-infused episode of WAFFLES!, talking mostly about Meet In The Middle, the upcoming swing extravaganza coming to Kingston later this month! Swing culture, terminology, dances (what’s a blues dance?) and more, punctuated with music on the more general theme of “youth”.

  • Epiphanies: January 5, 2019
    It’s a new year for WAFFLES!, and Matt’s sister suggested “Epiphanies” as a topic of choice — so here we go into 2019! From the composed-for-Epiphany music of Benjamin Britten to the sardonic snark of a young Momus, from the nasal meanderings of Bob Dylan to the full-throated belt of Etta James covering Bob Dylan, […]

  • The End! December 29, 2018
    Matt’s on his own for the last WAFFLES! in 2018, which means it’s gonna get dark, folks. REAL dark. It’s The End. The Apocalypse. The Final Days. Songs about the big finish, the end of everything… and sometimes not.  Pre-recorded at home due to vacation plans; please forgive any audio quibbles. Abime des Oiseaux :: […]
