Ryan steered the show solo this week, and like many people around town, he’s really excited about the announcement that Björk will be playing Bluesfest this summer. He also had the chance to chat with the organizers of Femicon, the local International Women’s Day event at the Library and Archives on March 8.
Next, the folks from Ideavibes called to talk about the Apps for Ottawa contest, which aims to reward developers for coming up with useful, creative, and effective applications using the City of Ottawa’s OpenData. Ryan capped off the show with conversation with Mitchell Burton, artist in residence at the School of Photographic Arts: Ottawa. Mitchell is presenting a new exhibition called The Seats, a photographic study of the spaces that are designed to welcome people to public events.
Here are the songs he played:
Björk – Possibly Maybe
Solange – Lovers in the Parking Lot
Tegan and Sarah – I Couldn’t Be Your Friend
Karim Ouellet – L’amour
A Tribe Called Red – Trap Heat
Animal Collective – New Town Burnout
