Alberta: Please vote in today's referendum if you haven't yet. Everyone else listening in: Enjoy another three hours of offbeat easy listening, including Les Baxter going Lovecraftian, Chopin without the piano, various shades of dream pop and shoegaze, and other sounds to help find your footing on a Monday morning.

A not-at-all Thanksgiving-themed episode on this holiday Monday. Instead, you get apocalyptic Axelrod, "doomed" Andy Boay, city pop from a 1980 Marvel vampire anime, music for wildflowers and weather systems, and other eclectic sounds to start your week on solid footing. Hope you enjoy it.

Of note: An unexpected early episode farewell to the great Canadian label Telephone Explosion; a throwback to the band that (supposedly) underpins The A.M.'s whole mood; autumnal shoegaze and jangle pop; and other mellow sounds to indulge in on an October morning. Hope you enjoy it.

The Honourable Eleanor Olszewski joins midway through the show to discuss the upcoming referendum in Alberta — please don't forget to vote on October 19 or in one of the advance ballots. Otherwise, it's a steady mix of mid-tempo music for an autumn morning. Nearly all brand-new songs, with a couple exceptions. Hope you enjoy them, and have a fantastic week!
