Episode 6- LOVE

Hey all. This week's episode is FAAAAAAANTASTIC. Its all about? LOVE.

Most Listened To This Week? Glad you asked!
Leah's Pick: Hometown Glory- Adele
Dave's Pick: Your Ex Lover Is Dead- Stars
Adam's Pick: Oh, Lori- Alessi Brothers

Leah's book review this week is brought to you by Stephanie Meyer, "author" of the popular novel, "Twilight". Its going to be made into a MOVIE! That's a good idea, right? They don't usually do that, do they?

As far as movies go, this week was pretty awesome. The gang watched HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3: SENIOR YEAR. Well, the gang minus David. He had other stuff to do.

Then the gang starts talking about love. Its pretty cool, no? They talk about their favourite things to do with love. Adam loves music, Leah loves passion, companionship, and romance. David, on the other hand, has a much more complicated answer.

VIDEO OF THE WEEK? YES. ABSOLUTELY.
This week is a triple feature!
"Don't Jump On That Slide" by Edward
"Tricycles Are Safe, Right?" by Children Everywhere.
"Don Draper's Guide To Picking Up Women" by Jon Hamm. You can watch Don's lesson right here:



Then, its time for the dramatic conclusion of THE INCREDIBLE TIM! YES!

After which, its time for the song for the lovers (Night Time Intermission by Charlotte Gainsbourg). This is a good one. Trust on this. Trust.

Episode 5- No Surf Without The Turf!

Hey everyone! You might've noticed that the West coast wasn't mentioned even ONCE (we checked) in this episode. That's because of an unfortunate error in, well, everything. This episode still ROCKS, though!

They get right into it this week, heading pretty much straight into "Most Listened To This Week" territory, where the theme (at least, with Dave and Adam) was "music that you can't help but smile when you hear". Leah's song was pretty cool, too.

Dave's Pick: "Flood Pt. 1" by The Acorn
Leah's Pick: "He Lays In The Reins" by Iron And Wine
Adam's Pick: "Skatesteak" by Sebastien Tellier, Mr. Oizo, and SebastiAn

The book that Leah talks about this week is called "An Inspector Calls" by J.B. Priestly. Its actually a play! But she read it as a book. So it counts. By the way, Aristotelian means this: "theories and concepts created by the philosopher Aristotle" in this case Aristotle claims that plays should take place in regular time.- Leah


When it comes to movies, Ignorant Bliss's cups runneth over. Dave and Adam saw W., and Leah saw Passchendaele! With her MOM! Listen for their fully in depth review of those amazing (or WERE THEY???) movies!

This week's Video Of The Week is phenomenal. Ricky Gervais, Steve Carell, and that's... actually it. Well, them, and the guys from SNL. Including the KNUCKLE PUCK KID! So check it out:



Hilarious, right?

Good.

Episode 4 Of Ignorant Bliss With Dave And Adam And Leah!

Hello again, everyone! In this episode, a special guest (Heavy D) from mysterious and far off Toronto visits the studio and enlightens Ignorant Bliss (and the world) on many things.

This week's theme (musically) is "Surf And Surf Part 1", where Ignorant Bliss blasts off to the East Coast of Canada to explore music from that region. Next week, the Wild West will be tamed!

The Most Listened To Songs This Week are as follows:

Dave's Pick: Christian Brothers- Elliott Smith
Leah's Pick: Drawing Curtains- Buck 65
Adam's Pick: We Are From Venice (La Serenissima)- The Bloody Beetroots
Heavy D's Pick: Dead And Gone- T.I.

The Book Review for this week was "Fifth Business" by Robertson Davies, and it was quite the read!

The Movie Review for this week was actually a DOUBLE FEATURE! Dave saw both "Body of Lies" and "Religulous", one of which was a spy thriller, and the other a documentary. You decide which is which!

Like earlier, the theme this week is the East Coast, so the music played during this episode was by, well, artist from the East Coast (OK, well, not ALL of the songs)! Sloan, Amelia Curran, The Discounts and Buck 65 (from Leah's Song Of The Week) are all from Eastern Canada! For real! Apologies if the link to The Discounts is wrong!

The Song For The Lovers this week is by Sebastien Tellier, and is called "Roche".
Here's how he describes it:

"I always used to spend my holidays there [Roche]. I always wanted to return, play my music and say to myself "Tonight, I'm king of the night". In this song, the sun is beating down and I'm having really intense fantasies about girls in bikinis. If I wanted to seduce them, I'd play this song which is a European or French twist on the sexual enchantment that you'd associate with American R'n'B."

That's pretty hot.

Here's the Video Of The Week!

Episode 3 of Ignorant Bliss With Dave And Leah And Adam!

Hello again, everyone! In this the third episode of Ignorant Bliss With Dave And Adam And Leah, they explore farther than they've ever explored before! Also, a bitter rivalry has been sparked that can only end in violence. Or so Nostradamus has predicted.

And, for those listeners who provided Ignorant Bliss with lead ups to their punchline "How do you think I rang the doorbell", one has been selected to be read on air! Have a listen to the hilarious joke!

For example! Leah's first book review! EXCITING! She reviews THIS book!

The Most Listened To Songs This Week were definitely varied in style.

Leah's Pick: The Dance- Charlotte Martin
Dave's Pick: Kids- MGMT
Adam's Pick: Livin' In The Sunlight, Lovin' In The Moonlight- Tiny Tim
(Here's the guy that Adam said looked like Tiny Tim. He really does!)

The movie that was reviewed this week was quite a popular one. It was enjoyed by many, so the story goes. Interested in what they think of it? Then have a listen! You'll find the download of this week's episode at the bottom of this post!

Even though the video of the week wasn't mentioned on the show, it has definitely been discovered, and is ready to be shared to everyone. Check it out here.

The musical theme of this week was Toronto. Music by bands that are/were either based in Toronto or from Toronto were played, such as a song Sebastien Grainger and The Mountains, along with a Metric remix by MSTRKRFT, so that's a two for one right there!

And finally, The Song For The Lovers was a track by another Toronto band who call themselves Broken Social Scene.

Don't forget to vote on what movie we should review this weekend!

Remember to tune in every Thursday afternoon at 1 PM to Trent Radio 92.7 FM. You can also listen to it streamed live online here!

And now you can download today's episode here: Ignorant Bliss Episode 3-Toronto's Infinite Nick And Norah Playlist

By the way? Its Steven Page. Not Steven Tyler.

Episode 2 of Ignorant Bliss with Dave and Adam! And Leah!

That's right, ladies and gentlemen! This week the Dynamic Duo is back. With a THIRD PERSON! This must make them the Tertiary Trio, or something. That's right. Adding to the roster this week is Leah Burnie, a fourth year Trent University student, and twenty first year life student.

After discovering (and discussing) what Leah looks for in movies and music, she drops the bombshell. Books. Adam and David are taken aback at first, but they slowly come to accept the idea. David tips it over the edge back into familiar territory when he brings up the fact that Leah's favourite book is being turned into a film. Turns out, one of David's favourite books (cheat!) is also being turned into a film! Adam's isn't though, funnily enough...

Also this week, the Triteriat Trilogy tackle a brand new segment of the show: "Most listened to this week!" where, funnily enough, they talk about the songs that have been buzzing their iPods and ears all week long.

Adam's Pick: Heartbeats (Alan Braxe Remix)-Annie
Leah's Pick: Angeles- Elliott Smith
David's Pick: Willow Tree- Chad Vangaalen

Moving ruthlessly onto film, they quickly discuss not one, but FOUR movies! One of them involves Eagles. Or do all four? Listen in to find out!

This week we also are introduced to a new segment on the show: "Video Of The Week". Its pretty self explanatory; the best videos on the internet ever are found and shared to all!

This week's video was "Italian Spiderman"! Hope everyone enjoys (We secretly know you will).

The theme this week musically, is Montreal.

We hear some music by Miracle Fortress and our song for the lovers this week is by Chromeo, and they finish the episode 100%.
