Wet Ribbons, EP#55 — Recorded live (albeit, tired and drunk) from the countryside, this show is a monster! Been putting tracks aside for the past month or so, waiting for the right show (that never happens). So because it’s taking forever, I’m just slumping it all together in this jam-packed episode. Settle in for this one …

Wet Ribbons, EP#51 — Here’s a really fun and fast show for ya. A nice loud mix of some classic garage rock tracks, and a bunch of new tunes as well. And best yet, this show has NOTHING to do with Valentines Day. Hurray for that. Hurray for me. Hurray for Rock ‘n’ Roll.

Thu, 15 Dec 2011 10:15:26 -0500

The long awaited episode 33. It was hard to top our Halloween show so I spent some time cultivating this episode. Show starts with a set involving the reunion of a great Canadian band, followed by an almost all country set, and if you hate all that stuff we close it will a killer garage rock set featuring new releases by Video, Unwed Teenage Mothers, Demons Claws, and Bad Sports. Oh also the show starts with the B Side of Ty Segalls new 7 inch which rules. This friday I will be hosting Thee Radio Show’s Christmas Party Episode, so look out for episode 34 just in time for Christmas early next week. Enjoy.

Pop Favs Live! EP#06

All Hail Poor Handwriting !

After drinking a beer while crossing the Confederation Bridge ( an act of defiance I found almost spiritual at the time ) and after being lost for a while whilst in search of Wet Ribbons Central ( Go with your guts Kids, not your GPS ! ) I finally made it. Sadly this show was meant to be much, much, longer. Painfully long actually. But in the spirit of teenage love, or maybe just frustration of a near sexual nature, I will be leaving you wanting more. And someday you will get the full set you were meant to hear. But in the meantime, and I mean meantime, you’re still going to be treated to some thirty four minutes of a garage rock sundae sprinkled atop with the ashes of Hank Williams*.

Thanks to Mr. Joshua Vapour for having me and being once again the only man keeping an Island cool, albeit a different Island.

* Didn’t actually get around to Mr. Williams this time.

With Love and Gin,

Wet Ribbons, EP#48 — So, we really dropped the ball on the Halloween show, but we’re going to make up for it in Dec. Just you wait.

EP#48 is a basic, short, and fucking awesome show. I re-listened to one of WR’s earliest shows and got re-inspired to have a super short LOUD show. Enjoy. And stay gooooooooned!

Tue, 25 Oct 2011 10:15:00 -0400

Wet Ribbons, EP#47 — That’s right, EP#46 is lost forever, and even though I call this show episode 46 a couple times, it’s actually episode 47 —yes, another mix show (and if you want to hear the set list for 46, you can to check out the Mix Tape post).

So, we’ve been slacking again, and we’ve moved locations again, and we’re now streaming from Fly Trap Studios, in PEI’s back country. Lot of really awesome things happening as of late, hence the lack of shows, but we’re going to be back on track shortly, and we’re going to bring you a hell of a lot of good stuff between now and the new year. Sit back, enjoy, and crank up this!

Pop Favs #5! Woooooah! I had a party and invited my derby wives and their widows. We shotgunned way to many beers and I made some horrific, accidentally offensive German comments (sincerest apologies!!) while I took Popular Favourites and filled it with a bunch of 80’s hits! (Sorry, I never once told you that you were listening to Popular Favourites.) David Bowie, Gary Numan, New Order, Kraftwerk, and loads of monster hits. Then, the inevitable happened! My own takeover was taken over.. TWICE! We had Mike & Elle both take the show with their own record supply. If all of this doesn’t kill the subscribers on J, I’ll ask to do it again sometime.

Mix Tape: Vol 2

Mon, 05 Sep 2011 11:14:41 -0400

Mix Tape: vol 2

Sort of a impromptu mix tape show. These tracks were hand selected for an extravagant live Wet Ribbons Show, which aired on Saturday night with special live phones calls from Tom Strawman, and John Bruce Affleck. It is truly unfortunate that this live Wet Ribbons show will be forever lost over the airwaves due to faulty engineering. So, at the very least, kick back, have a listen to the set list, and stay tuned to our twitter feed to catch these one-off live shows, I guess. ha.
