Put Yr Heart Into It 033 – It’s TIFF, let’s rock

500_tiff

It’s that time of year in Toronto, when the International Film Festival descends on the city and everyone goes crazy over celebs they probably never see, pay too much for movie tickets, and as you can see here, wait in stupendous lines.

So to commemorate the crazy-ness in Hogtown, this week’s podcast is dedicated to movie soundtrack songs that rock (more or less — I’m looking at you, song from “Once”). Artists featured include: Smashing Pumpkins, The Lone Rangers (yes!!!), Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers (hello “modern rock”), Edwyn Collins, Urge Overkill, Calexico & Jim James, Hayden, Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova, Kenny Loggins and Giorgio Moroder, Wang Chung, Prince, Nancy Sinatra.

There’s lots of commentary this week too, so please leave a comment here or on SilentTalkie.com!

Hey everybody…. seems like an earlier draft of the podcast this week disappeared, so I apologize for the post looking a little sparse (I blame either the Chrome browser or Rogers Internet).

This week’s podcast features Still Life Still, MeWithoutYou, Diamond Rings, The Wilderness of Manitoba, Universal Studios Florida, TV on the Radio, CFCF, Moby and the Rivulets.

Put Yr Heart Into It 031

500_putI love doing a podcast where I don’t have any requirements, expectations or rules… last week was a big electronic week, and now I can just circle back into a laid-back acoustic themed podcast without any rhyme or reason.

Featuring: Bonnie “Prince” Billy, the Daredevil Christopher Wright, LOW, the Duchess and the Duke, Bry Webb, the Wooden Sky, the Junction, and a “vintage” track from Strike the Set.

I’ll explain further on SilentTalkie.com, but I decided that I would add to the great canon of various tributes flowing in. If you really, really, really love the song “Billie Jean,” I think you’ll like it. And afterwards, check out this “Billie Jean” twitter tribute, which grabs the lyrics from public tweets.
