Customer Reviews
Excellent
Have been enjoying Sessions for many years. At any one time there are more than a dozen favorites and new yet to be listened to on my Ipod. Keep it coming!
good but how about...
hey, first i would like to say that I love your show and it has shown me many bands that I listen to date. My favorite show so far was Tokyo Police Club in session because i love that band and it was interesting to hear them talk about the creation on their music. One thing that I would love to hear is ether City and Colour or Alexisonfire. I love Dallas Green (singer/ guitar) and he lives in toronto. I know that City and Colour's #1 hit Comin' Home was already a track of the day but I would like to hear more of a inside view of how he comes across his songs and what his main inspiration for his music is. Alexisonfire is an amazing band with their new album release out and are about to go on Warp Tour 09 and I think that with all the facts about why they would be great to have on it would also give you great hits. I love your podcast but would just die if ether of those bands were on your show, Thanks
Can't ask for much more!
As if these are free.. Thank you CBC!
