The 7:40 Songbook – March 8, 2014
This morning was a pleasant surprise. Not only was it plus 8 (50 or so for my American friends), which is great for the Canadian prairies in early March, but that >*&*^%$$$ construction on Glenmore is finally gone. The downside to the morning, Daylight Savings Time meant it was dark again when I got up, and will be for the next couple of weeks. Now to today’s tune.
The song is “Big Decisions” by My Morning Jacket. The band is out of Louisville, Kentucky and are shortly releasing a new album, “The Waterfall”, their 7th since forming in 1998. Good rock ballad.

Canada’s Number One Song And Album – March 8, 2015
This weeks number 1 song (Via CBC Radio 2) and album (As per CKUA) are
Death Cab For Cuties song “Black Sun” as single
and
Jayme Stone’s Lomax Project as the top album
Two very different bands with 2 very good sounds.
Death Cab For Cutie is a well established American Alternative band out of Washington state that have been playing and recording since 1997. They feature some interesting musical and instrumental variations and the distinct vocals of Ben Gibbard.
Jayme Stone’s Lomax Project features Jayme Stone, a Canadian banjoist. The project is a working of Alan Lomax’s collection of folk songs. Some interesting material here as Jayme has gathered some of North America’s finest folk artists to assist in the making of the album.

The 7:40 Songbook – March 5th, 2014
A pleasant drive today. The sun is up, but that will change again next week with daylight savings coming in. Traffic on Glenmore was very light and the music on CKUA was great. Pulled into the lot a bit early and caught up on some news while waiting for 7:40 to roll over on the digital dial.
Today’s tune is a new release by Helio Sequence, an alternative band out of Portland. A duo, they have a melodic sound with a hard driving edge. Very enjoyable tune for you called “Stoic Resemblance”. And live of course.

Song Of The Day – David Ford – “Pour A Little Poison”
For today we have English artist David Ford and a tune called “Pour A Little Poison”. The song is taken from his 2013 album “Charge”. A rollicking number which gets you tapping your foot almost immediately.
