June 15, 2011: L'Ambiance


This just screams 1991

"Full moon... Just go out and howl at it."- Tree McLicky


The last full moon before the solstice illuminated the sound of the Sand In Your Head during this week's broadcast.

I started off with a random purchase from my very early days of record collecting, when I thought the movie Trianspotting was the greatest thing ever. This was days before I would revisit Smokey and the Bandit (see last week's post).


We heard three very different tracks by Canadian artists, old and new. I must visit Ottawa and pick up more <>>>>, Biker Smell is not enough. Snowblower, is a pretty much defunct Toronto operation featuring the inspired lyrics, if not more reserved style,  of acid toilet rock pioneer, Craig Dean, formerly of satirical metal band "Gash". I am intrigued by Les Cailloux, a thoroughly Outaouais combo, who seemed to have had their moment and are now relegated to Value Village vinyl bins.

Gash with Beauregard Beechcliffe in all their "glory"

I then moved into the ambient from Six Organs of Admittance and Lords of Falconry. Pleased to have found M83's Saturdays= Youth in Vancouver, but sad to find out that the track I played is not typical of the album. I will give it time.

Real lords of falconry
