    The A.M. - Episode March 16, 2026

    You've survived Friday the 13th and the Ides of March, and your reward is... another Monday morning. Fortunately, the AM is here to fill these early morning hours with good vibrations and offbeat easy listening. This week's throwback is to AM patron saints Stereolab, and the 30th anniversary of their Emperor Tomato Ketchup. That classic is surrounded by eclectic sounds, from synth-enhanced Ethio-jazz to ghostly shoegaze to new-age Kosmische. All with the express aim of starting your week on stable ground.

    The A.M. - Episode March 9, 2026

    International Women's Day was yesterday, but it hardly seems fair that it only got 23 hours. So here's three more: another episode of All Femme AM, with 35 songs from women in music. Mostly recent, some less so, all just a glimpse of artistic catalogues well worth digging into. Enjoy the show (and apologies for the excessive grogginess, the Monday after daylight savings is, without fail, a struggle).Playlist: Violeta Vicci, Bruno Bavota - To the StarsViviane Audet - MariaMary Ocher - Approaching SingularityGwenifer Raymond - Bonfire of the BillionairesKara-Lis Coverdale - Flickers in the Air of NightHannah Peel - EcovocativeBuildings and Food - Clear Skies (Mountain)Haiku Salut - I Dreamed I Was Awake for a Very Long TimeDisiniblud - DisinibludWish Lash - Fast BoyMoon Apple - Pillar I - Mantra Force MajeureCerys Hafana - AngelCastle If - Theme de BetzGarden Gate - A Dream Within a DreamEla Orleans - The SeasonChris Derksen - aabaakwadRachel Kitchlew, featuring Dave Bardon, SHOLTO - Opium LoungeBrandee Younger - New PinnacleElisa Thorn - My MoonDeradoorian - Any Other WorldMagic Fig - Sensation SeekerLaura Cahen - FuséesParisian Orgy - Jazz Song For ShrimpMomoko Gill - No OthersMen I Trust - BurrowMarine Girls - Such a ThingAutomatic - Black BoxVictrix - A New ThingBon Enfant - MinimumNo Joy - BitsRozi Plain, Melin Melyn - Fantastic Food (Re-Milled)Various Artists, featuring Beth Gibbons - Sunday MorningSamara Lubelski - Keeper of BeautyEmptiness - EmptinessMess Esque - No Snow

    The A.M. - Episode March 2, 2026

    A globe-trotting episode of The AM, with artists from Brazil, Lebanon, Germany, Mali, pre-revolution Iran and the Iranian diaspora, and unsurprising detours to the UK and Australia. The world is smaller than it seems, and music makes those distances even smaller.Playlist: Eric Cheng - Finding SatoshiGlissandro 70 - Bolan Muppets (Dan Bodan Remix)Nick Schofield - Dream OnThe Golden Age of Wrestling - revenge body (denton, tx)Scholars of the Peak - Northbound FrequenciesNUM - BlueBristol Manor - Life on Other PlanetsHayes Bradley, Yu Su - Dear Treasure - Yu Su RemixYakuza Jacuzzi - Jade Emperor's Peach Garden, Pt. 1Monroeville Music Center - SomniculoniaFabiano do Nascimento, Vittor Santos Orchestra - O Tempo (Foi O Meu Mestre)Various Artists, featuring Mulatu Astatke - Munayé (My Muna)Tamikrest - Adagh OyantidPopulation II - MagouilleuxBibi Club - Les vaguesKourosh Yaghmaei - Akhm NakonKourosh Yaghmaei - Tavalode Yek SedaDerya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek - Cool HandCharif Megarbane, Ali - Bandar BataviaAngine de Poitrine - FabienkAnnette Peacock - Solar SystemSalami Rose Joe Louis, featuring Flanafi, Luke Titus - Crow, Friendship, with TrioPick A Piper, featuring Mabe Fratti - Histérica HistóricaHelado Negro - MoreRiver Tiber - SpiralsExek - You Have Been BlessedMilitary Genius - True FormThe Smallest One - We're All Going Through ItThe Gabys - OdeHelicon, Al Lover - Goodbye Cool WorldSankt Otten, featuring Klaus Fiehe - Tanz das Kraut

    The A.M. - Episode February 23, 2026

    Last time The AM was on the air, there was no snow on the ground in Calgary and you could be forgiven for thinking it was already spring. Today that's obviously not the case. But hopefully today's episode makes a frozen February morning a little more bearable—especially the soul-warming grooves in the second hour. Stay warm, stay connected, and thanks for listening to CJSW!Playlist: Luke Kokoszka - An Invitation To DesireChloé Antoniotti - HeimatGustaf Ljunggren, Skúli Sverrisson - Nine AgainAction & Tension & Space - TellusThe Golden Age of Wrestling - Stanley Park RaversRosenau & Sanborn - WalrusEine Kleine China - Bent FabricJohn Haughey, Tarotplane - Pulling the Cosmos CloserHer Motives Are Silent - It's OK (Instrumental)Boards of Canada - 5.9.78Adrian Younge - PortschuteCochemea - Pyramid of the SunNilza Costa - RamunhaARTU, featuring Akim Bamboo - Jaguar JagunSean Wolcott - Last Glow of the Peony LanternThe Olympians, featuring Indro Roy-Chowdhury - Saraswati PujaThe Chayns - Live with the MoonThe Chayns - See It ThroughСОЮЗ (SOYUZ) - Lingua Do MundoBruno Pernadas - Untitled (raindrops)Voka Gentle - Jude Law for Vogue (1995)chocolat - MélanieZacht Automaat - Standing StonedThe Ginger Wizard - StyraxGinger Beef, featuring Brendan McGuigan - Golden HourMade-Up - A Moment in TimeLAMMPING - Once in SunlightYamila - DiamondsOra Cogan - DivisionMassive Attack - Paradise CircusMaria BC - MarathonP.rosa, Elijah Knutsen - Bleeding EarthPeggy Lee, Cole Schmidt - It Will Come Back

    Happy Family Day (at least in Alberta). This week's episode starts with a selection of explicitly dreamy tunes before drifting through the typical AM sounds (not that dreamy is outside the standard AM purview). Hope you enjoy the mellow music, and that you find ways to stay cozy as the winter storm hits this week.Playlist: Masahiro Takahashi - DreamiesBill Holt - Program Ten Part ThreeDreamsploitation - Major Seventh GateContagious Yawns - As If In a DreamThe Album Leaf - Within DreamsSilje Nes - Recurring DreamTacoma Park - UntiedNatural Magic - Skyward EyeEasy Idiot - Don't Tell MomFloral Image - The Dream - Minami Deutsch RemixUntrained Animals - Dream DiscoSpencer Cullum's Coin Collection, featuring Erin Rae - Look at the MoonLuke Temple - Echo Park DonutMomoko Gill - Anyway, I'm DrowningThanya Iyer - Let the Smoke ClearWhiling - House CatElyse Weinberg - Deed I DoElyse Weinberg - Spirit of the LetterCheryl Lancastle - Downtown SongStereolab - Flashes in the AfternoonLyke Rayne - Closing the SeamThe Sleeves - Come On ManCindy Lee - Wild OneMovietone - Useless LandscapeThe American Analog Set - Diana Slowburner IISoftcult - When a Flower Doesn't GrowHelicon, Al Lover - Tabula RasaYuutsu - NoveltyExpwy - Sterilize the warden under cover of darknessUlrika Spacek - Showroom PoetryThe Moon Birds - I Am the BreezeWould-Be-Goods - Don't Come Crying to MeGot a Girl - Things Will Never Be the SameAbsolutely Free - The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine AnymoreFeist - It's Cool To Love Your Family

    The A.M. - Episode February 9, 2026

    For this week's AM, we open with a contemplative Chad VanGaalen, closing with La Luz's psychedelia, and working through a range of sounds in between—from upbeat Talking Heads covers and Estonian garage rock to vintage four-track recordings and jazz-harp grooves. Hope you enjoy it.Playlist: Chad VanGaalen, Patrick Horner - Ocean ChordShane Parish - SlipAutechre - SlipElori Saxl, Henry Solomon - A Thousand StepsNTHNL - Awakenings, Part IIJohn Haughey, Tarotplane - Previous IterationsPolmo Polpo - Dreaming...Again (2020)Bernard Grancher, featuring Allison Brice - I should feel confinedPostnamers - Lethbridge is 666Galaxius Mons, featuring YlangYlang - The Earth Moved in Quarter Tone Silent WavesSean Wolcott - Crystal Eyes Stalk at MidnightNo Birds - FlowersBell Orchestre - The Upwards MarchCassie Watson Francillon - Constellation of SymptomsCharles Stepney - Notes From DadCharles Stepney - No Credit For ThisL'Eclair, featuring Kay Yõko - Space SongSlim Twig - Fog of Sex (NSIS)Strawberry - YoungSleepkit - It's Incredible!Jah Wobble, Jon Klein - Fading AwayVarious Artists, featuring Florence Adooni - Crosseyed and PainlessPenza Penza - Volcano SongPanman Pat - Chip ChipJoāo Leāo - Pode SerEdu Lôbo - Viola Fora De ModaWax Machine - SpringtimeTremendous Aron - Upstairs at Ismail'sVarious Artists, featuring Skyminds - Whispering PalmRiver Flows Reverse - DemonsKing Khan, featuring The Gris Gris - Desert Mile instrumentalThe Garrys - ManitounaLa Luz - News of the Universe - Extra!
