Rock on Canada Trois! Between the Moons

18 tracks in all, lots of rarities and over 70 minutes! Bands like Eighty Four (Ontario), Slow (Vancouver), Fictions (Ontario), Hammersmith (Alberta), After All (British Columbia), and my favorite, Max Webster, with 4 tracks! Two are big, big favs ("In Context of the Moon" and "Coming Off the Moon," hence the sub-title of mix). Other notable tracks (they all are) in Pat Travers' "Stand Up," Kim Mitchell's (singer/songwriter/guitarist for Max Webster) "Big Best Summer," and Coney Hatch's "No Sleep Tonight." Enjoy!

A Daily Excursion at The Bachelor Pad 3: Walk and Talk

Volume 3 begins with Geoffrey Alderson's "On Our Way" and ends with Morricone's "Secondo intermezzino pop." 20 tracks in all in less than an hour. Lots of favs including Klaus Weiss' "Surge Action 2" with its similar intro-motif to Led Zep's "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You." Franco Micalizzi's "Vodka per due" is another of notice. Just a nice overall feel-good tune. Giuliano Sorgini's "With a Finger" is that tune you'd hear in the background during all the chitter-chattering. And last but not least, the lengthiest track in the mix, Mario Molino's "For Me." It's also the same deal as the latter. They're all good. Enjoy!

Rockin' Heavy, Hard & Steady 5: Surprise! Unsung 70s Hard Rock Scorchers Again

And they keep hammering 'em out! The set begins with my all-time favorite Canadian band - Max Webster. The track "Hangover" was also the first track I've heard from the Max Machine. MW used to tour with fellow mates, Rush. My older brother went to one of their shows not knowing MW, but after their set, he couldn't care less to stay for Rush. He was so moved that he purchased their debut, brought it home, and the rest is history.

Lots of good and rare tracks including Wicked Lady's epic, "War Cloud." Also, Pat Travers' awesome cover of "Statesboro Blues." 18 tracks this time by Aunt Mary, Troyka, Albatross, Ancient Grease, Apartment 1, and more. Enjoy!
