(cover star: Katie Stelmanis of Austra ) tracklisting: 01 Austra "Beat And The Pulse" 02 Destroyer "Chinatown" [...]
...and it's back! RADiO QBiM had to retreat and gather the troops for a bit in order to get our house in order, and we couldn't think of a better way to make a return than to have Daniel Romano give a guided tour of his top 10 favourite songs of all time. You might recall in my last post about Romano that I mentioned his new album Sleep Beneath the Willow reminded me of the now-defunct CHOW AM country music station from Welland (and if you don't [...]

Someone once suggested to me I make a Quick Before It Melts podcast collecting some of the best stuff from the blog and put it all together into an easy-to-use, easy-to-love one-stop-pod-rockin' download. So, as September is traditionally the month where networks re-invent themselves and start with a new broadcast year, so too will I wade into the milieu with my very own pilot episode of RADiO QBiM . There's no format, no theme, no commentary (thank God), no filler, just killer tunes. It's only available here (for now), but if response is good, then maybe RADiO [...]
