  • Midnight Looms 076 – DEAR TEVA – April 26th 2022
    Apr 28 2022
    We’re doing it again. An entire episode of music devoted to the memory of our host’s “real life hero”, TEVA HARRISON. If you don’t know Teva, she was and is an acclaimed AUTHOR, ILLUSTRATOR, POET, and CANCER ACTIVIST. Sounds like an amazing person, right? You have no idea. Teva was truly MAGIC. She passed away in 2019 and every year since, we’ve dedicated an episode of this show to celebrating her life. We explored TEVA’S RECORD COLLECTION with her husband, David. Last year, we played DEDICATIONS FROM HER FAMILIES. Both the one she was born into and the one that she chose. This year we’re branching out and playing song suggestions from people that Teva had special relationships with. Friends from both near and far, work colleagues, collaborators, and what all these people share in common is that they all now carry Teva with them, and they’ve all chosen songs that demonstrate that beautiful bond.  Some absolutely amazing and creative individuals sent in dedications along with their song suggestions. We hear from author and playwright, JORDAN TANAHILL; host of CBC’s THE NEXT CHAPTER, SHELAGH ROGERS; Canadian superstar, BIF NAKED; as well as Teva’s dear friends, JULIANA VEGH and MARY ST AMAND WILLIAMSON.  Part of Teva’s magic is that she inspires greatness in people and these song selections are a testament to that. DAVID BOWIE, ELVIS PRESLEY, FLEET FOXES, HUGH MASEKELA, LIDO PIMIENTA, PATTI SMITH, PIXIES, STARS, TALKING HEADS, and VENETIAN SNARES, as well as NEW MUSIC from INDIAN CITY and VILIFY. PLUS MORE! And every song was selected by someone who knew and loved Teva.  This episode was a labour of love for our host, Gobs, but they can’t take much credit. Truly, it was Teva that made this happen <3 SIGN UP to our new PATREON and HELP US PAY OUR GUESTS! Get access to loads of EXCLUSIVE CONTENT & OFFERS.

  • Midnight Looms 074 – AUNTY SOCIAL – April 12th 2022
    Apr 15 2022
    On with tonight’s musical therapy session! We’ve got just an incredible act here not only to chat with our host, GOBS, but also to PERFORM inside our PLAYDEAD CULT DIY concert space. They call themselves AUNTY SOCIAL. Their music is just truly next level. It’s forward thinking INDIE POP centred around coping with mental illness. It’s uplifting and inspiring. You can dance to it, and they are just such an amazing singer. She’s brought along her producer, SAM ARION, and a bunch of ELECTRONIC GEAR. We can’t wait to hear what they do with it. The first 3rd of the program is all about HEAVY HITTERS. It starts off with some EMO and METAL from COMEBACK KID, DEADLOCK, PARENTAL PATHOLOGY, and THE WONDER YEARS. Gobs then transitions to a different kind of “heavy hitter”, with NEW MUSIC by some of the BIGGEST NAMES in modern music. Tunes from BEACH HOUSE, BONOBO, ROYKSOPP & GOLDFRAPP, plus a STONER JAM care of FKA TWIGS & PA SALIEU. After the performance from AUNTY SOCIAL, it’s all about COVERS! You’ll hear ELISAPIE covering WILLY THRASHER, ISKWE covering MISHA BOWER, PICASTRO covering THE VELVET UNDERGROUND, SAX SYNDRUM & SEA OLEANA covering LYKKE LI, and U.S. GIRLS covering YOKO ONO. All that before we “take you gently into a new day” with a couple gorgeous new pieces from PARA PALABRAS and YOU’LL NEVER GET TO HEAVEN. Wild, wonderful, and woke. That’s MIDNIGHT LOOMS!!!
