Larry Portelance, well versed in the music communities of the East Coast comes for the 2nd time into CIVL Radio’s studio 1 and listeners of Pop Music From Around Here/There gain the benefits of his gleanings. I offer my 2 cents as well, playing tracks from Nathan Lawr and the Minotaurs, Brent Randall and his Pinecones, The Maughams and commenting judiciously along with Larry. But this is Larry’s baby. Eric’s trip, Jenn Grant, A/V, Sleepless Nights…Yes.

Egad, computer problems. Servers crashing. It’s nearly all online streaming content today. But good online streaming content. Except that transitioning from myspace to myspace, loading and stopping pages from playing at innapropriate times is stressful. Moreover, it was pretty lonely in the studio.

BUT. A good lineup which I could rattle of now, or you could hop your eyes a line down and read it for yourself.

Apollo Ghosts - Ghost Get Out Of My Apartment

Golden Touch - From a Backseat

Falcao & Monashee - Starlight

Aidan Knight - Cold House ( On the DL)

The Dudes - Don’t Talk

Karl Blau - That’s How I Got to Memphis

Lake - Oh the Places

Pop Music From Around Here and There, Episode 13

Welcome to another episode of Pop Music From Around There, courtesy of guest host and pal Sarah Vanpopta. There means the “Yours to Discover” Province. That means Ontario. If yours to discover means I need to do the leg work to discover just how great Ontario is, that sounds hard, and daunting, something I don’t have the energy to do. Fortunately Sarah takes us on a tour of her land, stopping in Guelph, Mississauga, Toronto and her hometown Hamilton and feeds us the best of each locale. New new new track from Zachary Aasman, songs courtesy of The D’ubervilles, Andre Charles Theriault and Allosaurus with a couple of Pop Music From Around Here mainstays as well.

But it’s not all dance this week.
