1A

Sarah Harmer - Oleander

It's the season for Sarah.

2A

Maria Teriaeva - Spritz

Pretty sure this was from The Wire Tapper 70.

3A

Ometh - Njitna !

Listening to Radio Alhara.

4A

Yo-Yo Ma - The Swan

Rachel and I have seasons to the Edmonton Symphony's Pairings concerts, and one of the soloists did this one as an encore. Except the one we saw live was arranged for SEVEN cellos and was really dope.

5A

Ben Howard - Couldn't Make It Up

I decided to listen to every single one of my records without repeating. This was the first one I chose, because at the moment I had the idea, the vibes were precisely right for this song. I was probably cleaning.

6A

So Savoeun - រូចទឹកចោលទៅ (Wash It Away With Water)

This one was from The Wire Tapper 69

7A

A Tribe Called Quest - Award Tour

Also from the listening-to-all-of-my-records process. One of my top 5 rap tracks of all time.

8A

Lucius - Next to Normal

Heard this on a show Rachel was watching. This is getting constant play in the truck. Constant.

1B

Petch Phon Thong Band - Soul Lam Plearn

Think this was from Stalk Image on badradio.biz.

2B

Marta Sebestyen - Andras

Listening to web radio, but can't remember which station.

3B

Hailu Mergia - Ibakish Tarekegne

I can't remember where I first heard this. I've been in and out of Ethiopian jazz a few times this year.

4B

Julian Lage - Ryland

Rachel and I have been listening to this album a lot - her favourite Julian Lage! I can't think of many songs prettier than Ryland.

5B

Lauryn Hill - Can't Take My Eyes Off You

From the record cabinet - spring is for love.

6B

Rilo Kiley - With Arms Outstretched

A song that I listen to a lot in the spring/summer. Spring is for friends. Jenny Lewis is so great in this one.

7B

Frazey Ford - Indian Ocean

An anthem to end this wet spring. The year is done, wash me over.
