Track List – January 11 (featuring Heard in the Mountains!)
I had the immense, immense pleasure of interviewing all five members of the very talented Vancouver band Heard in the Mountains this week. We hung out, listened to their new EP, and talked about everything from the dreaminess of Stephen Merritt to the frigidness of the Fraser River. It was a fantastic show, and a whole lot of fun, and I can’t wait to see them again.
