LYRICS:

No, I don’t want to stay
No I don’t see the point
For me to stick around
Leave behind my shoe print pressed in the ground

Now it’s time for me
To get up and go

While I’m homesick
But I do not know where my home is
So I’m getting sick and I know
It’s the thought of me thinking about
The idea of home

In a turn of events
I will likely choose to go
And sail as far as I can
Look behind from coast to opposite coast

Now it’s time to flee
To get up and go

While I’m homesick
But I do not know where my home is
So I’m getting sick and I know
It’s the thought of me thinking about
The idea of home

Now it’s time for me to know
Of the idea of home

Well, I’m homesick!
But I do not know where my home is
So I’m getting sick and I know
It’s the thought of me thinking about
The idea of:

"HOMESICK!
But I do not know where my home is
So I’m getting sick and I know
It’s the thought of me thinking about
The idea of home"

Homesick

"Sin City" paints a vivid picture of corruption, greed, and false promises of wealth. Originally penned by Gram Parsons and Chris Hillman in 1969, the song’s stark warnings about unchecked power and social decay unfold through haunting melodies and a plaintive, folk-driven sound. Decades later, it feels as relevant as ever, with headlines continuing to expose the cracks in our modern world. "Sin City" serves as a haunting reminder that the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Alister Johnson and Gerrence - EH' OR - MIX

A mostly all-Canadian edition of the AM this week. One or two songs are a stretch, I'll admit, but it's not officially Canada Day yet, so we'll have to allow it.

Have a lovely week, and enjoy the early morning tunes, wherever they happen to be from.

The AM: June 30 2025

What happens when you mix psychiatry, addiction metaphors, surrealism and electronic music? The first Canadian horror movie and full length 3D fiction film, THE MASK (1961)! The film comes from director Julian Roffman and stars Paul Stevens and Claudette Nevins. Hear about the origins of Canadian film, LSD usage in psychiatry, and more!

Episode 327 - Everything That You Want

What began as a theme song for a haunted docu-series has morphed into a nostalgic ride through the sparkling touch of The Golden Age of Wrestling. Retro touches carry Boulanger's airy voice through a haze of Stranger Things. It's dark and uplifting all at once. Edging the entire time to break out into a banger. Both Boulanger and TGAOW's Cancade grew up on Vancouver Island, Canada but both moved to Vancouver. The two have a shared affinity for sparkles and darkness and infuse these two elements into the west coast music scene of Canada

Spirit Seekers (The Golden Age of Wrestling Remix)

Late Stage 12 Gauge

FashionTelevision (aka "FT") was something you flipped through when trying to find something else to watch, but sometimes it was sunday and there wasn't much else on and you'd already seen those episodes of The Littlest Hobo or Anne Of Green Gables... (i don't actually dream of Jeanne Beker)

💤📿𝓘 𝓓𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓶 𝓞𝓯 𝓙𝓮𝓪𝓷𝓷𝓮 𝓑𝓮𝓴𝓮𝓻📿💤

I hope you save me
Cause I’m being pulled apart
We’re so abrasive
Knew that from the start
They all want you
social butterfly
Just come to me
Will you come to me

Could be your hero
If it wasn’t summertime
Just keep me waiting
Wondering to pass the time
You’re not the only one who’s been let down
Just come to me
Hope you come to me!

Baby, I’m out my mind and full of mistakes
Maybe I don’t, wanna wait for nothing to change
I’m out, my body can’t you tell by my face
But I won’t leave, for nothing if you make me stay

Oooooh!
I’m falling to pieces
Oooooooh!
I’m falling apart

And I don’t care
If you’re not alone
I need you more
Than just on my phone
And I think that
Something’s happening
I’m losing my mind
So just come to me

Baby, I’m out my mind and full of mistakes
Maybe I don’t, wanna wait for nothing to change
I’m out, my body can’t you tell by my face
But I won’t leave, for nothing if you make me stay

Baby, I’m out my mind and full of mistakes
Maybe I don’t, wanna wait for nothing  to change
I’m out, my body can’t you tell by my face
But I won’t leave, for nothing if you make me stay

Theme music Now I Know by Jared C. Balogh

love the dark, sad, experimental and hazy side of things, hypnotic loops and damaged sounds. massive horror geek. not without a sense of humour. partner in crime with Shelley and Loren.

if you're questioning why or how i'm able to upload on a frequent basis, simply put - i have A LOT of time on my hands at this point in my existence, a wealth of music/sounds to draw upon, and a decent collection of software to make things (e.g. both the synth and fx arturia vst collections). i'm not just auto-generating ai pieces ad nauseum, at the same time i have nothing against using ai in the creative process, but not as an outright replacement for creation. i really think the witch hunt over it all is a bit ridiculous, fueled by the greed pig corporate media companies mostly. 

one thing i've learned about making at least a little bit of money from streaming my music beyond measley penny scraps, i have to upload frequently and i've been experimenting with reuploading/reposting my tracks for better play counts (for now), if even it only results in cutting costs.

Elise Boulanger is a sweet darkness wrapped in orchestral instrumentation. Hailing from Vancouver, Canada, this operatically trained Orchestral-Pop artist completely captivates audiences with her haunting avalanche of a voice. This July she releases her first remix with The Golden Age of Wrestling (Jeff Cancade of DEVOURS). It recreates her self-produced track, “Spirit Seekers” into dewy glambience for our summer sensuality.

What began as a theme song for a haunted docu-series morphs into a nostalgic ride through the sparkling touch of TGAW. Retro synths carry Boulanger's airy voice through a haze of Stranger Things. It's dark and uplifting all at once while constantly edging to break out into a banger. Both artists grew up on the Island but now live in Vancouver which brought Boulanger to connect with Cancade. 

When not electrifying her sound, the bilingual Boulanger is advocating for the environment and creating cinematic dreamscapes atop strings, piano, drums and ukulele. Her angelic yet raw dramatic artistry is reminiscent of Kate Bush. She is both bold and beautiful. Boulanger has performed for some of Western Canada’s largest events including Canada Day Victoria and composes for film and TV.

“Spirit Seekers” (2024) showcases an electronic entrance for Boulanger. This composition is for the seven part docuseries Spirit Seekers that shares the rumoured ghost stories of locations around Vancouver Island. What’s more is Director and Medium Paula DeMontigny's special ability to sense and communicate with the Spirits who roamed the areas.
Performing for over 15 years, she began touring in 2021 to Western and Eastern Canada as well as Vancouver Island and the Kootenays as she continues to grow in the Canadian market. Boulanger is sonically reminiscent of Kate Bush with her angelic yet raw dramatic artistry and has been deemed as "definitely one to watch" by the Times Colonist. Her actions are bold and beautiful as she takes advantage of the stage to teach audiences how to adapt to climate change. 


She has played shows with Carmanah, Tanika Charles and Etienne Fletcher. Notable performances include Canada Day Victoria (2023), the Honda Celebration of Lights (2022) and numerous festivals, concert series and theatres including Jeux Franco-Canadiens du Nord et de l'Ouest (2023), Filberg Festival (2022), the Banff Gondola (2022), the Tidemark Theatre (2021,2023), Port Theatre (2021), Evergreen Cultural Centre (2023) and Orange Day in the Bay with Snaw-Naw-As First Nation (2022).
