April 16 - a little bit of my personality?

On this Jumbalaya show I showcased three artists I happened to catch at record stores on Main Street: Lisa LeBlanc on Tuesday at Neptoon, and the Backhomes and Frog Eyes on Saturday (Record Store Day) at Red Cat. I'll probably talk about the LisaLeBlanc and the Backhomes performance in a separate blog post, but they were both great! Frog Eyes I didn't end up staying for unfortunately since I had to go elsewhere.

I kind of wish I stayed around Red Cat for Hello Blue Roses, who played after Frog Eyes, since I listened to a bit of their newest release WZO and it's sounding great so far! I'll showcase their stuff next week.

I also played songs by three artists from the P572 label we have on our playlist: Arthur Comeau, Oromocto Diamond, and Zoobombs. P572 have been in operation for 10 years in Eastern Canada but we only recently started getting some of their releases here at CJSF.
Oromocto Diamond and Zoobombs have actually had their live performance in Tokyo recorded directly from the soundboard and they've released the recording through P572, under the name Oromo Kumakus! While I'm not one for live albums (the audience claps kind of get old after many a listen) the performances on Oromo Kumakus are highly energetic and a lot of fun to listen to. It also serves as a little peek into Japan's indie music scene, at least that's what I imagine it's like in Tokyo (where I'm unfamiliar with).

I got a request towards the end! I'm happy to learn that people actually listen to my radio broadcasts :D The song I played was Modest Mouse's 'Lampshades on Fire'.

Next week's setlist will be a lot more varied. I'll most likely re-showcase the Backhomes, and throw in some Hello Blue Roses. I might add in some non-CJSF playlist music too.
