May Day celebration
When the most recent May Day went by we marked the occasion because we here at Risky Fuel are firmly on the side of the working people of the world.
The result was a list of 15 songs for working class heroes, including numbers by John Lennon, R.E.M. and Rush.

Members of Austra
The latest edition of my Polaris People column is online over at the Polaris Music Prize website.

Lars Eller
Normally it’s me who’s all about the jock jams, but Sarah also did her part when she created a list of hockey rock songs for Huffington Post Music Canada to celebrate the start of the NHL playoffs.
In said list you’ll find iconic songs from the likes of The Tragically Hip and Stompin’ Tom Connors.
Read the list here.
Sarah did, however, forget to include this gem from our close personal friend Darrin Pfeiffer.

R.E.M. Murmur
Recently WNYC’s Soundcheck allowed me on its airwaves to talk about the story I wrote about R.E.M.‘s discography where I ranked all the band’s albums “from ass to awesome.”
Now, thanks to the marvel that is modern technology you can relive these amazing 20 minutes of R.E.M. by downloading it here.
Enjoy. Monster forever.
