In-Flight Safety show TONIGHT in Toronto @ El Mocambo
Posted by Adam Binet in Uncategorized on October 29th, 2009
Well for all of you who have not had a chance to see a IFS show live, well now is your chance. Sure you’ve heard them all the time on CBC Radio 3 and maybe caught a youtube video or two, but really the live show is where it is at. This Halifax quartet make such good, and awe-inspiring music… from intricate slower songs, to my favorite’s they do which slowly build up on you and explode with sound. The guys formed at Mount Allison University (where I first met/saw them) in and around 2002/2004 and have since moved to Halifax and put out two full length albums (”Coast is Clear” and “We Are An Empire, My Dear”.
If you haven’t had a chance to listen to them, do yourself a favor now. They have literally every track available on their CBC Radio 3 page.
And some great vids:

The Inaugural PrudentMusic Podcast feat. The Danks, Two Hours Traffic, Joel Plaskett and more!
Posted by Adam Binet in Uncategorized on October 16th, 2009
Hey all,
Well I finally had an epiphany and realized my longing to be back on the radio (having done college radio for 5ish years at CHMA 106.9FM at Mount Allison in beautiful Sackville, NB). So here’s my crack at the podcast world. The idea is to do at minimum a weekly podcast, but perhaps more, each with some sort of loose theme. Typically, but not always, featuring new Canadian music. I hope to give it a go and get listed on iTunes podcast directory an more.
So the first podcast features the likes of The Danks, Two Hours Traffic, Joel Plaskett, Thrush Hermit and The Superfriendz. It’s 30 minutes and I think you should give it a try, and not laugh at my rusty commentary style. I plan to smoke tons of smokes and drink lots of whiskey to get my voice to that desirable level.
So go ahead, check it out, and please share with your friends!
