Ben joins me again! And we find out he, made a picture of a color. We will be going to the Portable Media Expo and Podcast Convention 2005 in November so you should too! Great music, great cohost, cd giveaway winners, shout outs, it all makes for a great time!

We kick things off with an import from Montreal called Wolf Parade. Their song, Shine a Light is on their forthcoming CD Apologies to the Queen Mary.

Apologies is set to be released on September 27 and you can order it now on Subpop Records.

The Canadian edition of Time magazine has picked this CD as one of "Canada's Most Anticipated Indie Albums of the Year." Pick it up before anyone else you know and you'll be the coolest kid on your block!! =)

Our second tune is a first here on De-Fi Radio. Its our first remix mashup. I too was very skeptical but by the end i really liked the song. Props to Party Ben for creating this mashup. Its called Tegan & Sara versus Mylo - "Walking with a Ghost in Paris" and will make you shake your <insert random saying or body part here>!

Third up on this episode is a band from Chicago, Illinois, The Changes. This song, "When I Wake" is the first song from their seven-track, self-titled EP. "When I Wake" has a little bit of a 1980s, The Police, feel to it, but is modern rock. If you're not listening for it, you will completely miss the little nuances that are obvious throwbacks to good '80s music.

Don't let that reference confuse you, however, as their self-titled EP is less slammed-down your throat than some other recent, modern crunchy '80s rock and more great music. You can also check them out at their MySpace site to keep up on their tour dates and hear some more tracks.

Our fourth song this time around comes from Rosie Thomas. "Pretty Dress" is from her CD If Song Could Be Held that was released on September 13.

If Songs Could Be Held is Rosie's third full-length album during her time on Sub Pop Records and marks a different approach to her songs than before. Her voice just pulls you in and is haunting as well as soothing. Something you must hear for yourself to understand. Which is exactly why we are playing here in this episode. =)

"Pretty Dress" is a great entry point to a CD full of fresh, new takes on the "standard" topics of love, one's identity, and taking a hard look at one's ownself. Heavy!

And finally, we wrap up this installment of De-Fi Radio with Holopaw and their song "Cinders." Holopaw is named after a smaller town in Florida that none of the band members are from.

Holopaw currently hails from Gainesville, Florida and released their latest CD, Quit + ⁄ or Fight, just last month. However, "Cinders" comes from their Sub Pop Records debut album, Holopaw. Full of musical contradicitions, just as you get settled into something, it gets pulled out or drowned out, only to return once you were used to it being gone.

Don't forget, we'll be attending the Portable Media Expo 2005 in November as well as many other podcasters that you know and love. So make plans to be there and say hey!
