The Yarnocalypse (June 3rd)


This week I was responding to a challenge laid out by Jay in the show description he wrote for my show for cfcr's new website. He claims I do shows about things ranging from "bands that start with T to songs about yarn", which is a lie, since I haven't done either of those. The only course of action was, of course, to attempt to do a show about yarn.

(I abandoned the theme about 8 songs in...)

* = Canadian

  2. Weezer - Undone - The Sweater Song (Blue Album)
  3. There Will Be Fireworks - We Sleep Through the Night (There Will Be Fireworks)
  4. Sophie Madeliene - The Knitting Song (Love, Life, Ukulele)
  5. The Morning Benders - Stitch (Big Echo)
  6. Bjork - Unravel (Homogenic)
  7. Broken Social Scene* - Texico Bitches (Forgiveness Rock Record)
  8. The Frenetics* - Shortest String (Scenery EP)
  9. Wintersleep* - Terrible Man (New Inheritors)
  10. WOMEN* - Sag Harbor Bridge (WOMEN)
