THE END

Like the final episode on a season of The Wire or the last morsel of an orange Flinstone's push pop, we're through.  Done.  Finito.

There's no looking back...unless you want to go back and rewatch the whole series, or just buy another pushpop....still continuing this simile?



Anyway, it's our final broadcast on WNUR.  Ted's off to travel the world and I'm a busy senior.  But it's been a crazy awesome ride.  We can't thank you enough as our readers/listeners/followers/friends/family/lovers for your support of our show.  It may only have been a few months, but America's Hat enjoyed bringing you some seriously kick a** music from our neighbors up north, and we're glad to have had the opportunity to do so.

As a special goodbye, Ted and I compiled a "best of" playlist of our favorite tracks and artists from these last couple of quarters.  Check them out online at www.wnur.org

Brent Hodge spoke with us one last time about Canada and, more particularly, potential crossover bands from Canada to the US.

Upcoming Shows:

NORTH BY NORTHEAST is in Toronto right now!  ROAD TRIP!!!


Tracks O' the Week/Forever:

Hay says -

Group of Seven - "Passport"

This track is all about Canadian identity.  Very low-fi, very tongue-in-cheek, very adorable.

Ted says -

49th Parallel - "Twilight Woman"

"Better than eating a sandwich and masturbating at the same time." - Ted Pacult
(he didn't actually say this, I just made it up, but he was probably thinking it)

A special thanks to PS I Love You, Hey Rosetta!, jefftheworld, Young Galaxy, and Suuns for allowing us to do interviews.  You are all awesome folks and we had a blast getting to speak with you and promote your music stateside.

And a final, super special thanks to our listeners: my mom, Ted's mom, Stacy Moon, Emily Spitzer, Matt and Peter Pacult, that guy that always called in to the station with great recommendations, Brent Hodge, CBC Radio 3, and everyone else that donated time to America's Hat.  We hope you enjoyed our take on "world music" and its potential to cross geographical boundaries, audiences, and genres.

in the words of Timber Timbre,
"creep on creepin' on"

Love,
Ted & Hay
