Hello everyone and Happy New Year! I hope you’re ready for some real, grown-up music to kick off 2015. To do that, we’re taking one last look back at 2014 and featuring some of out favourite albums of last year.
The Marking Time Podcast Episode 61 showcases 90 minutes of music, highlighting twenty-four albums of note. We shine our spotlight on some terrific Canadian artists as well as an array of bands from around the world. It’s not a countdown (because who needs another one of those) but rather a sensational collection of songs from some undeniably great records.
So plug in your headphones and kick off your shoes, as you’ll want to give this mix your undivided attention. As always, send your comments via Twitter or e-mail and spread the word among your friends. 2015 is going to be a terrific year!
