This week we are taking another trip in the time machine back to Canadian Indie albums of 2008. Our playlists mostly focus on what is new but I thought it would be fun to check back to music we were listening to in the past. For those of you that were listening to CBC R3 back in the old days, many tracks will be familiar. There are a lot of tracks that might not be as familiar but the artist playing them is because it was from an earlier album before you became aware of them and others we just plain missed. So while it is a look back at 2008 there may still be some new to you tracks.
We started with 2006 in March because I am making this a monthly playlist and there are 12 months in a year and 2006 was 12 years ago. The plan is to do a playlist about albums from 2008 this month and 2009 next month, etc for the next year and then see how it goes from there. It can be fun to check back and see what music we still love and what music we once loved but have moved on from and to find out what we missed. I made a YouTube playlist that you can find below, with most of the same songs that are on the Spotify playlist.
2008 was another great year in music with albums from Black Mountain, Wolf Parade, Hayden, Coeur de Pirate, Constantines, Plants and Animals, Elliott Brood, Kathleen Edwards, Jill Barber, Mathew Barber, Sweatshop Union and on and on. It has been 10 years since all these wonderful albums came out. It’s a great trip back in time. Enjoy the ride!
hello
Good morning!
Hi!
Hi guys!
Hello, darbar!
HELLO!!!
Hello,
Thanks for the youtube playlist.
Yeah. What Scott said.
You are welcome! It is easier to do on older tracks.
anyone planning on watching/listening to the CBC Music fest on Saturday?
garf, good question. Does anyone have info on acts, times and web coverage?
the main and q stages should be live streamed via youtube (they have placeholders up already)
I have no idea about radio coverage
I doubt I will catch it live but will check out clips later.
I have to say I am loving this playlist DBS. I think 2008 might be the year I started listening to Grant’s podcast.
Holy **** that BC fest has become sorta big!
Glad you like it. I enjoyed it as well Garf.
I wish I was at the CBC Music fest.
good morning folks!
trying to get the little bit of garden watered.
echo beach looks like it is going to be one heck of a party! super short time slots for the kids stage?
I was bored so I did this with one of Wendy’s WR drawings
Hi Morgana
that is very cute @garfielduk
we don’t need to water the garden here for 2 very food reasons
1) it’s raining
2) we don’t have a garden
This is the test I did earlier this week while deciding if it is worth making him a VJ/host
I am just about to go to pottery class. I can’t use the wheel because it makes me more dizzy (didn’t think of that when I spent the money on the class did I?!) but i will do some hand building and do some socializing anyway.
Have a great weekend everyone.
When we are back on Monday I won’t be able to share about any concerts because I am practicing being a mushroom but I will be able to fill you in on a job interview my kid just got a phone call for ….
Who knew though right?
Fingers crossed for your kid! Have a great weekend!
I have been helping plan another event for Playing for Change Sask. It happens tonight! I have picked up the drum kit and gathered my papers. A couple more things to do and then I head to the big tent. I hope all goes well.
Then my sister and I are going to check out Loverboy at Memorial Cup after. Ha!
Have a great weekend all!
