Spring cleaning draws nearer as the days get longer and brighter earlier. In anticipation of warmer days ahead I’ve kicked off the podcast with one of my favourite cruising songs of all time off of the Once Upon A Time In Mexico soundtrack.
Today was International Women’s Day, who some apparently believe is absurd. In my humble opinion, it’s totally legit considering the kick ass origins of the celebration. In honour, we are featuring a few of Edmonton’s finest female singer songwriters, in Kaley Bird, Lisa Nicole Grace (Prairie Belles Podcast) and Erica Viegas. Last week Viegas just launched her debut album Where My Heart Goes, as well did one of Edmonton’s top male musician prospects, Jeff Morris.
Yes please. If you’re lucky enough to be in Calgary this Friday night, Factory Party #8 is gonna blow your mind. Here’s an inspiring and informative post for the un-initiated from the people who’ve been putting these parties on for the last few years.
Leave a comment and let me know what you think of the show with our brand new fancy commenting system. Like the new look and feel of the blog? Let me know.
ps: I’ve been having trouble getting the enhanced podcast to work properly for the iTunes feed all night, so it’s probably gonna be a little late for you subscribers out there!
To herald in a bold new era of more frequent posting, I’ve scrapped the old clunky wordpress theme I was using in favour of one that is cleaner, and easier on the eyes.
Tomorrow will also be the first new podcast episode in awhile, featuring two of Edmonton’s finest emerging singer-songwriters in Erica Viegas (babe) and Jeff Morris (hunk). So leave a comment and let me know what you think of the new Jam Union!
World exclusive hot new single “Leaving For Me” (<- free download!), from Mass Choir’s forthcoming album, “Live My Life On The Backbeat“.
We’ve got some killer remixes from GOBBLE-GOBBLE, Cadence Weapon and local beats from Old Ugly’s rap mega-group CBT. Music from Dojo Workhorse, Calvin Harris, the Hood Internet and much much more!
Don’t forget, it’s not “two thousand and ten”, it’s Twenty-Ten!
2009 was a strong year for lots of Edmonton bands but the group that takes away the official title of Jam Union’s Band Of The Year, is none other than Christian Hansen & the Autistics.
That may not come as a huge surprise to anyone who’s been following the podcast, but with the release of their hit album ‘Power Leopard‘, they’ve firmly cemented themselves as one of Edmonton’s top independent acts. If these guys don’t get signed to a label in 2010, it will only be because the internets have been such a game changer, that they don’t need to.
Here’s DJ Earworm’s video for the State of Pop track I played on the podcast… now that Michael Jackson is dead, it looks like Auto-Tune is the new King of Pop:
…last but not least, here is a sweet video showing how they made that Techno Jeep track!
