16 December 2020: Blizzard at the Foot of Sugar Mountain
This episode didn’t actually air on whcsradio.org because apparently GoDaddy suspended the site. I still did the episode, though, for you all to hear on here.
Set 1
“Sugar Mountain” by Neil Young
Guess I can’t stay on Sugar Mountain anymore. I (finally) turned twenty earlier this week, so I felt obligated to play this song.
“River” by Joni Mitchell
Well, it’s coming on Christmas, so…
“The Blizzard of ‘96” by the Walkmen
As I recorded, a snowstorm was beginning to brew, so this felt appropriate.
“Abel” by the National
“I Am a Ghost” by Love as Laughter
Set 2
“Anthems for a Seventeen Year-Old Girl” by Broken Social Scene
“Schizophrenia” by Sonic Youth
“Chemicals” by Tigers Jaw
“The Woodpile” by Frightened Rabbit
“American English” by Idlewild
Set 3
“Teenage Spaceship” by Smog
“Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk” by Rufus Wainwright
I’ve been meaning to dive into his career for a while; from the Apple Music “Essentials” playlist this track stood out.
“One Night is Not Enough” by Snow Patrol
“Stars” by Hum
“Dope Cloud” by Protomartyr
Set 4
“Crystalised” by the xx
“(This Is) the Dream of Evan and Chan” by Dntel
Famous for being, basically, the first Postal Service song.
“Wolf Like Me” by TV On The Radio
“The House That Heaven Built” by Japandroids
One of many rousing anthems from the ‘droids.
