    The A.M. - Episode August 3, 2026

    This week's AM starts with some uncharacteristically ambient Alanis Morissette, through ambient synths, Nordic instrumentals, and fuzz-club psychedelia, to nautical folk and Brian Eno's favourite Canadian album (per The Quietus). All to ease you into a holiday Monday here on your favourite campus and community radio station.Playlist: Alanis Morissette - Restore—Calling Generation XRose Keeler-Schaffeler - Two HeartsEmily A.

    The A.M. - Episode July 27, 2026

    Ringing out July with... well, not the most coherent AM episode you'll ever hear, but some of us are still recovering from a weekend under 30 degree skies at the Calgary Folk Music Festival. Hopefully still an enjoyable mix of psychedelic sounds, pastoral electronics, '80s depression ballads, and other sounds suited to sun-soaked Monday mornings. Miss you, Mike.Playlist: Andy Bell, Masal - The Morning of the TripIvan the Tolerable - Highest PavementJason Dungan, Johan Carøe - Routine IStrawberry Switchblade - Trees and Flowers - Extended MixMaya Ongaku - You are SilenceBrian Baggett - AdriftThe World Next Door - Only the Pink DinosaurTest Card - Telnet to TelexdgoHn - Bus To FairlopResavoir, Matt Gold - LuaMarco Benevento, featuring Dave Guy - SorginiIslands on Tape - Dust ConspiracyThe Avalanches, featuring Karen O - Blue ShadowsHair Control - Seeing in the DarkVictorella - La femme invisibleTokedashita Garasubako - Annmari FukasugiteTokedashita Garasubako - Kimi ha Dare nandaRick White, Julie Doiron - In the WayKronstad 23 - StratosfærenN NAO, featuring Helena Deland - FleuronThe Consonant C - DoomMeggo - the crashJobriath - I'm a Manboyhood - LonerCASTLEBEAT - This Takes TimeFuses - AnilineJeffrey Silverstein - Portland WorksAyal Senior - Egg Yolk SlimeJeffrey Alexander + The Heavy Lidders - From Loch Raven to Fells PointCindy Lee - Prayer of BaphometJared Mattson & Ruban Nielson - River RaftingEdena Gardens - Earth Blemish

    The A.M. - Episode July 20, 2026

    This week's AM starts off in a summery mood, gets a bit downbeat as we lead into a throwback to DJ Shadow's 1996 classic Endtroducing... (anyone have a lead on semi-reasonable tickets for the Calgary show?), and perks up a bit again for a Folk Fest spotlight in hour three. Enjoy the generally warm vibes and well-more-than-warm weather, and maybe I'll see you on Prince's Island?Playlist: Deniz Cuylan, featuring Felbm - No Such ThingJOYFULTALK - Blissed For a MinuteCochemea - Chito's SongPrairiewolf - Burning EdgesArid Landscapes - Suzuki's CallZeta II Reticulli - Teacozy 3TENGGER - AtmosphereHaruomi Hosono - Note of MothershipGilroy Mere - On the RoadBuildings and Food - Imprints of the CircleJon McKiel - RosemaryBabe Rainbow - MangoesHelado Tropical - Déjate CaerAdrian Younge - Shake DownSean Wolcott - Heaven Has No SwordsBadge Époque Ensemble - Thinking of GodDJ Shadow - What Does Your Soul Look Like, Pt. 4DJ Shadow - Midnight in a Perfect WorldUltre - Museum of AirBristol Manor - Stash BoxCharles Danet & Stoic Faces - Little Piece of MusicTwink, Moths and Locusts - Love AshoreOra Cogan - Ways of LosingLT Leif - quail's egg (dadge mix)Mitsune - Roku-GoFoxwarren - Say ItBruno Berle - Sem FronteirasAllah-Las - Pt.

    The A.M. - Episode July 13, 2026

    Back into the regular swing of The AM, with new music from Dungen, Vanishing Twin, OHMA, Akusmi, and many more. The show starts with a lovely chant from Jim Pepper's Everything is Everything, because frankly it's been a rough few days and a bit of affirmation is always appreciated. Lean on it if you need it, too, and hope you enjoy the rest of the show.Playlist: Everything Is Everything - Witchi Tai ToOHMA - Rooted in Her PresencePierre-Yves Martel, featuring Joel Plaskett - Golden GarbageThe Durutti Column - ScammerGhost Cartridge - watching tv alone in the darkAkusmi - Pleine LuneAsh Brooks - ShastaTomo Katsurada, Jonny Nash - Anone NoneTommy Perman, Hanna Tuulikki - Move Your Body (Greater Horseshoe Bat)⣎⡇ꉺლ༽இ•̛)ྀ◞ ༎ຶ ༽ৣৢ؞ৢ؞ؖ ꉺლ - (̸̢̛̼̞̭͋ͅ)̸͚̰͛̔̾̀̿͒͂v̴̢͚͚͎ȯ̶̞̮͖̑̈́OOOOOOooo☼⃝☼⃝◉࿃ूੂ࿃ूੂੂ ʅ͡͡͡͡͡͡͡͡͡͡͡()ʃ͡͡͡͡͡͡͡͡͡͡ ꐑ(ఠీੂȯ̶̞̮͖̑̈́̿)̸̳̥̰̜̥̺̐ͅ࿃ूੂ✧⃛✧⃛)̴͎̜͍̱̋̌͋̓̾̚͜ ̷̨̢̥̅͝ͅ(̸̢̛̼̞̭͋ͅ)̸͚̰͛̔̾̀̿͒͂:̴͓̞̑̌̂̆̊͋̀:̸͎̟̯̂̓̌:̶̢͙͙͕̠̩͆(̷̮͍͚̫͚͂Play Time - WanderersSecos & Molhados - O Patrão Nosso De Cada DiaJoyce Moreno, Tutty Moreno, Adrian Younge - FingersAvi Engel - Garden of Earthly DelightsDark Orchard - It's Been a PleasureDif Juz - Echo WreckDif Juz - Love InsanePearl & The Oysters - Mandarin MoonMandrake Handshake - En VolYabra - MoonriseVanishing Twin - Bring Me the AxeDungen - En Gång I TimmenCarl Didur - Coda to the MomentOrbital Ensemble - TrilhaPanman Pat - Ju-JuBruce Peninsula - Cliffs & CovesHammock - We Close Our Eyes so We Can SeeThe Analog Girl - nebulaKaster - ColtBrown Spirits - That River Ain't for SwimmingSome Become Hollow Tubes - Killing a Dead Eagle

    The A.M. - Episode June 29, 2026

    Wrapping up June with an eclectic AM, throwing back to electro-poppers Seeland, checking on new releases from Fiver, PJ Harvey, and Maya Ongaku, and generally aiming for the right balance between waking up and calming down.
