I (Simon) will play you songs I enjoy, and then I will talk about them. Sometimes it will even happen in that order. Expect anything thst strikes my fickle fancy on a given day, which could be anything from rock, punk, folk, metal, electronic, chamber pop, hip-hop or garage.

New timeslot (again)! New format!

Once again, A Listening Ear is headed for a new timeslot.
The show will now be heard from 2 to 4 PM on Friday afternoons...that's right, I'm expanding the show to two hours, leaving me way more time to blabber on about my favorite tunes and themes. The first show in this expanded format will air May 9th.

Theme shows, articles, and a DJ night

News abounds! Next week's show will be a balls-out rock special - one hour of my favorite recent punk, hard rock and metal records. Meanwhile, I'm hard at work over at the Magazine site -I've written ten CD reviews, some of which are already up, as well as a few upcoming concert reviews. Finally, I'll be DJing at Le Social on February 26th as the first in a new set of CJLO DJ nights.

The list, and the new year

I managed to pull off the Top 100 show more or less without a hitch, despite a 7 hour and 45 minute runtime (!). Special thanks goes out to my special guest co-host Dave for sticking around for the first few hours - and to Brian for letting me do this crazy business. I might even do it again next year! The list is viewable in the December 19th playlist - it appears in descending order from 100 to 1. On January 8th, 2008, A Listening Ear will return with a preview of the new year's already-exciting line-up of new releases.

Top 100 - December 18th

On DECEMBER 18TH - a very special edition of A Listening Ear: my first - and hopefully annual - Top 100 countdown show! I'll be naming my favourite tracks of the year from midnight to 7am and will try to keep the commentary lively as I fight fatigue and dizziness. Luckily, I'll have the best of the year in indie rock, folk, metal, garage, electronic, hip-hop and pop to keep me (and hopefully you) awake. (Apologies for getting the date wrong before - it is in fact the 18th, not the 17th!)
