Hello, partygoers! Well, this is it. The sad moment we knew would come eventually – the final episode of the Listening Party. But now ain’t the time for your tears – to paraphrase Bob Dylan – we’ve got a show to do! This bi-week, Mary and David read your celebratory – we hope – comments […]

Hello, partygoers! We received a really nice gift here in the old Listening Party rumpus room this week. Partygoer Chris Roberts wrote a wonderful song celebrating this very podcast. Mary and David couldn’t have been more pleased (and there may have been some tears, but that’s all were going to say about it). Chris also […]

Hola, Sneakers! Welcome to Episode 496 of the podcast that just won’t eat Quix! This week: a sleep paralysis sitcom; really get to know Dave; more boobs; heroic haircut; Y: The Last Emperor; original Late Night; let’s repeat that failure; surrogate Letterman; Leno’s giant mistake; Fallon down; brief aside: Giuliani sucks; textbook bullshit; familial meritocracy; […]

Hello, partygoers! This week Mary and David do the impossible and cover a complete mixtape in one (yes, admittedly long) episode. Dave was lazy compiling this mixtape and chose all really long songs so we get eight great songs about metronomes, the importance of money for fun, Old English minimalism, pastoral prog, punk prog, fiddlin’ […]

Hello, partygoers! Welcome to the 66th episode of your favourite “they play music and then talk about it” podcast! This bi-week we tackle side two of listener Trevor Lynn’s mixtape. We hear some sunshine pop, sweet demos, religious metaphors, psych lite, a woulda, coulda, shoulda band, down under post punk, and folk weirdos. So join […]

Hello, partygoers! Our apologies for a late show this week – a packed weekend and an under-the-weather daughter pushed our recording day forward and cut back on our editing time and the result…was lateness. But we return with another mixtape – this one made for listener Trevor Lynn. So let’s vie for the overstuffed armchair, […]

Hello, partygoers! As we head into the final stretch of the Listening Party, we thought we’d take some time to read and comment on your own comments that have been sent into the show over the last few months. It goes without saying – but we’re going to say it anyway – that the party […]

Hello, partygoers! It was a lovely, sunny Easter Sunday, but David and Mary couldn’t resist popping into the Listening Party rumpus room for some delightful music and the usual tomfoolery. And what a lot of music we have this week. You’ll hear girl rock, country psych, pocket prog, commercial pop, and faux feudalism, plus a […]

Hello, Party-goers! Welcome back to the Listening Party rumpus room where the beanbag chairs are always waiting! This week – having finished off our final novelty mix – Mary and David return to the mixtapes of listener Nick Owen for a mix of 80’s indie, psychedelia, alt-rock, art rock, and squelching noises. Join us in […]

Hello, partygoers, and welcome back to party headquarters. As always, we appreciate visitors to the Listening Party rumpus room! This week, Mary and her dad tackle side two of our final novelty song mix tape, and Mary questions her dad’s rather broad definition of a novelty song. Despite some complaints at the beginning of this […]

Hello, party-goers, and welcome back to the Listening Party rumpus room where the door is always open and the music is always playing. This week Dave and Mary took a turn down the path marked “Novelty Songs” so we can listen to some songs that Dave has deemed novelty songs. He attempts to explain his […]

Hello, partygoers, and welcome back to the Listening Party rumpus room where the door is always open and the music is always playing. Dave re-e-e-e-ally enjoyed putting together the music for this bi-week’s show. It was lots of fun making a brand new mixtape, and it was lots of fun choosing twenty of his favourite […]

Hello, partygoers! Mo’ music, less problems! That’s right! Lots of songs this week as we tackle “Side 2” of Nick Owen’s first mixtape: big beat, breakbeats, lo-fi indie psych pop, Cancon, sad voices, the legacy of Abbey Road, foundational power pop, kooky art rock, drum machines, and grunge-funded orch pop! This episode we are spinning: […]

Hello, partygoers! Bah, humbug! Let’s throw the garland and tinsel into a box where the fragile ornaments are rolling around in the bottom, and chuck it back up into the attic for another year. This week, David and Mary get back to work with Nick Owen’s first mixtape to bring you fear of aging set […]

A Merry Christmas and best of the season to you, dear partygoers! Last year, friend of the show (and occasional unwitting musical contributor), David M. dropped by the rumpus room to play a selection of his favourite Christmas songs. Well, Covid put paid to any ideas in that direction so it fell to David, our […]

Hello, partygoers! Welcome to another episode of Dave bugging his daughter Mary. Oh, and music! This week we hear new psych and classic psych, manliness, country rock, musical dumptrucks, journal entries, demonic rock, and statements of intent! This episode we are spinning: The Ruby Suns – “Kenya Dig It?” – Sea Lion, 2008 – 21:50 […]

Hello, partygoers! Things get back to normal in the old rumpus room as we put away the jack o’lanterns and witches hats, and return to our regular routine of perusing listener’s mixtapes. This week we examine side one of listener Nathan Evan’s mixtape. We’ve got flowery forts, Syracusian power pop, Cancon, Vancon, trippy psych, soulful […]

Hello, partygoers! Welcome to Part 2 of the Listening Party’s Halloween Spooooooktacular!!!! We know it’s more in line with American Thanksgiving, but due to some bad planning – like when a character returns to the haunted house at night instead of in broad daylight – we ended up with a show that outstayed its welcome […]
-
Hello, partygoers! Welcome to Part 1 of the Listening Party’s Halloween Spooooooktacular!!!! Full of bone-chilling Halloween songs!!! And face-meltingly terrifying listener’s letters!!! Scary!!!! To counter Sneaky Dragon co-host Ian Boothby’s claim that there is only one Halloween song and that song is Bobby “Boris” Pickett’s “Monster Mash” we decided to put together a selection of […]
