BwGN AM Mixtape #52 – The one I've never played before

Thank you to each one of you who listens in each week for a new Boy with Girl's Name Morning Mixtape. In the past year, I have played 1,207 different songs by 639 different musicians or bands over 51 mixtapes that featured (approximately) 44 different themes. Only 41 of those songs were played twice and one – "Sey" by Orchestra Baobab – was played three times, making a total of 1249 tracks. Music by 280 musicians and bands were played at least twice, with the most frequently played being:

    1) Broken Social Scene (the first episode was BSS-themed, so this is not really a surprise)
    2) Ida
    3) Jolie Holland / Ringo Deathstarr / Laura Veirs
    4) Do Make Say Think
    5) St. Vincent
    6) Big Thief / Jason Collett / Hauschka / Madeline Kenney / Low

So, to celebrate the one year radio-versary of this little radio program, the theme of this episode is simply music by bands and musicians that I haven't yet played on the show. Enjoy!
