The name of the game is 'Features-features-features' - the new releases and new-to-me vintage albums keep on coming! Only a few 'various' sets, and 2 'in memoriams'.
| Hate to start the show and a bummer note... but it deserves nothing more than the top spot. That last original Ramone is gone. Tommy Ramone, at the early age of 61. |
| Teenage Lobotomy Ramones - Rocket To Russia |
| On to something a bit more 'up' - a great new hardcore band from Medicine Hat, Alberta, and their brand new LP |
| Blithe Reaction to an Unfortunate Life Ohmwar - Broken Arms Dance With Black Feet 
|
| Mazey Ohmwar - Broken Arms Dance With Black Feet
|
| The Dozens Ohmwar - Broken Arms Dance With Black Feet
|
| Games Ohmwar - Broken Arms Dance With Black Feet
|
| With an eye to relaxing the intensity a bit, we hit a bit of Nomeansno and local heroes, Dead Wrestler. |
| The Rape Nomeansno - Dance of the Headless Bougeoisie
|
| The Closet Contrarian Dead Wrestler - 6 Song EP

| We relaxed the intensity to make way for another short set feature on a new garage-y Winnipeg band (featuring a member of Mahogany Frog!)! |
| I Fall in Love Surprise Party - Heart of Love
|
| Saturday Surprise Party - Heart of Love
|
| Second Hand Girlfriend Surprise Party - Heart of Love
|
| I Had a Dream Surprise Party - Heart of Love
|
| Switching gears to something a bit more trippy, but something still new from Japan - a (looong) track from the Boris LP, 'Noise'. |
| Angel Boris - Noise |
| Next set is a double-feature: we hit some more new material from Toronto neo-psych/drone wigsters, Fresh Snow, then go back into the mists of Krautrock time for a few tracks from the 1st Agitiation Free' LP! |
| Helix Pass Fresh Snow - I
|
| Your Thirst For Magic Has Been Quenched By Death! Fresh Snow - I
|
| You Play for Us Today Agitation Free - Malesch |

| Now to another all-too-rare (for this Nightwatch!) 'various' set of music as we get closer to the jazz-rock-side of things! |
| I Ain't Superstitious Jeff Beck - Truth |
| Dee Dee Diddley Bop Rare Air - Hard to Beat
|
| Potage Aux Herbes Douteuses Sloche - J'un Oeil
|
| Now to a sample of the debut LP from seldom-heard late-70's French Fusion-prog band, Spheroe. They only had 2 LPs out, looking forward to hearing the 2nd! |
| Chatanooga Spheroe - S/T |
| Pu Ping Song Spheroe - S/T |
| From the jazz-rock to a little RIO to soothe the edge-needy... |
| Not Alone Muffins - Open City |
| Jean-Jacques Maneige - S/T
|
| ... to the final 'In Memoriam': pivotal jazz bassist, Charlie Haden, has passed away at the age of 77. His body of work could fill several Nightwatches, but one tack (for now) will have to suffice. |
| The Legend of Bebop Ornette Coleman - The Art of the Improvisors |
| Finally, shifting gears back to the Kraut-and-kraut-inspired madness, Julian Cope's 'Head Heritage' pick-of-the-month, new Spanish band Qa'a and their 3rd LP (a 3xLP, if you can lay your hands on it, it's very limited - I only have a download...), top-notch experimental rock! |
| Retorn etern Qa'a - Sang
|
| Ascensió Qa'a - Sang
|
| Tornar a la terra Qa'a - Sang
