Teenagers! YOUNG PUNKS! Matt and Marisa rail against the younger generation while playing songs about ’em, with Marisa going on a deep dive into one of her favourite musical sub-sub-subgenres: the “death discs” of the ’50s and ’60s, spinning splatter platters featuring all sorts of teens dropping like (teenaged) flies. WAFFLES theme :: Teen Titans […]

First, it’s WAFFLES! Second, we have a theme. Third, it’s ordinal numbers! All the way up to hundredth (at least), it’s a new take on numbers from the first name in music/talk variety! WAFFLES theme :: Teen Titans Fourth Dance :: Kronos Quartet Second Cup of Coffee :: Gordon Lightfoot First We Take Manhattan :: […]

Somebody left the WAFFLES! out in the rain! Well, no. But we do cover all sorts of songs about Cake, while never getting around to the actual band Cake. Sorry, Cake! You’re a great band! WAFFLES theme :: Teen Titans Cakewalk :: Oscar Peterson I Like Pie, I Like Cake, But I Like You Most […]

North! South! East! West! Which dumb Saturday morning show do you like best? It’s the cardinal directions as WAFFLES! covers the four points of the compass, with songs revealing Morrissey’s grim future as a horse-and-nun-murdering member of the Smiths, Marisa’s very (non-)controversial fave The Church album, the tremendously literal modern classical music of Jeremy Peyton […]

Matt’s going to Deseronto to see Emily Burgess, so he and special co-host Jeffy run down the good and bad of small towns on WAFFLES! From “must get out” songs like Smalltown Boy and Stupid Village to “small towns rule” tracks by Cold Creek Country and Northcote, we run the gamut; including tracks named for […]

Marisa’s back! And on a biweekly basis going forward, as we plunge into earth! Air! Fire! And water! for WAFFLES! this week, with some astonishing digressions into the science-fiction dystopic world of a Pepperidge Farm that remembers… everything. WAFFLES theme :: Teen Titans Devotion :: Cory Weeds Down the Dirt Road Blues :: Charley Patton […]

It’s trash week on WAFFLES! Matt holds the fort solo and talks about some of the environmental initiatives around town, including an illegal dump cleanup organized by an eco-friendly clothing company, an upcoming town hall on the Green New Deal, and the astonishing number of dog poop collecting companies you can find around K-Town. Music […]

Friend of the show Jeremy returns, and the theme is blades! From the cabaret origins of Mack the Knife to the sprawling prog majesty of Rush, from a backing out of a decision to try to out-Karl each other to getting Peterborough rock legends Them Blades back together, and even working the Green New Deal […]

Friend of the show Garrett Elliot returns, talkin’ Science!! and Science Rendezvous, as the annual event returns to Kingston. Science music from Philip Glass through William Shatner (covering Thomas Dolby) as we talk science, photography, school board politics, and more! WAFFLES! :: Teen Titans For Science! :: Chicago Symphony Einstein on the Beach – Entrance […]

May the Fourth be with you! Adam Walker joins Matt for a half-Star Wars, half-local-heroes edition of WAFFLES!, with a first hour focusing on May the Fourth be With You and (increasingly) weird takes on Star Wars in music; the second half on Homegrown 2019, with local bands taking the forefront and rocking their way […]
