The A.M.

Show Notes

The Honourable Eleanor Olszewski joins midway through the show to discuss the upcoming referendum in Alberta — please don't forget to vote on October 19 or in one of the advance ballots.

Otherwise, it's a steady mix of mid-tempo music for an autumn morning. Nearly all brand-new songs, with a couple exceptions. Hope you enjoy them, and have a fantastic week!

Alberta: Please vote in today's referendum if you haven't yet.

Oct 12, 2026

A not-at-all Thanksgiving-themed episode on this holiday Monday. Instead, you get apocalyptic Axelrod, "doomed" Andy Boay, city pop from a 1980 Marvel vampire anime, music for wildflowers and weather systems, and other eclectic sounds to start your week on solid footing.

Of note: An unexpected early episode farewell to the great Canadian label Telephone Explosion; a throwback to the band that (supposedly) underpins The A.M.'s whole mood; autumnal shoegaze and jangle pop; and other mellow sounds to indulge in on an October morning.

This week's AM opens with Space Ghost's "Back from Reality," only appropriate as we go from the real world of unstructured weekend time into the strange shared fiction of the working week. Tune in for ambient electronics, vintage psychedelia, brand-new shoegaze and dream-pop, experimental jazz, and other sounds to tied you over until reality returns again.
