The Constantines - Love in Fear
From their brand new CD Tournament of Hearts comes my favorite Constantines track. These five guys form one of Canada's best exports and it shows. Just listen to the lyrics of "Love in Fear." A great beat throughout that will certainly have you nodding your head or tapping your feet.

Bryan Webb – vocals, guitar
Steve Lambke – vocals, guitar
Dallas Wehrle – bass guitar
Will Kidman – keyboards
Doug MacGregor - drums

Chad VanGaalen - Echo Train
This is the second track from Chad's Infiniheart album to make it onto De-Fi Radio. After hearing this track Brian swore he was buying this CD right now! =) You should too so head over to Sub Pop and pick it up. Or you can use this link. We try to make it easy for you. =)

The Fruit Bats - Lives of Crime
On their Spelled in Bones album. Give this track a listen then head on over to watch the video.

The Changes - Her You and I
On their First of May and Self-Titled EPs. Ben is in love with this band and has the self-titled EP. He keeps e-mailing me and calling me telling me how great this band is. While I believe him, its getting a little annoying. My suggestion is grab the cd here so Ben will leave you alone. And so you can hear some great new music.

LoveSpirals - Our Nights
Brian was introduced to this band in middle 2001 and loves the Windblown Kiss album, which is where this track comes from. I highly suggest you pick this CD up. Its mellow and soothing. Great music for dining with a special someone and for just listening to at any time.

Ryan Lum and Anji Bee have a podcast called Chillin with Lovesprials. They talk about all kinds of music things and the latest happenings in the Lovespirals world. The new CD called Free and Easy is the topic of their latest episode and Brian has ordered it. Highly recommended. Windblown Kiss is also a good place to start. =)

All day today the site has been up then down. Up then down. Neither www.defiradio.com or http://defiradio.libsyn.com would resolve the site.

And i'm having trouble with episode 19's uploading. Suffice it to say that the mp3 file is on the server but when i try to publish the post, LibSyn does not see it.

Please bare with me. The show has been ready for two days now but these problems have held it back. I apologize and have a work around. If things keep misbehaving, i'll apply a work around.

Thanks so much for understanding and for your patience!! =)

UPDATE October 25, 2005: So uhm, maybe it would help if i readthe news items after my log in to LibSyn. They were affected by Hurricane Wilma and having lived in Pensacola before and after Hurricane Ivan, i know that they are not having any fun. I apologize for my complaint. Ima lern tah reeeeed!!!

Episode 19 is almost ready! I am completely amazed each time at the music we get.
