The Weakerthans: Radio Sessions (2010)

Not all Winnipeggers love their hometown heroes, like The Weakerthans. We can be real scythe-down-the-tall-poppy types here. The disgruntled can borrow sneering words from The Globe and Mail or Pitchfork (how often are those two sources cited at once?) to mask our jealousy. We sometimes seem out to prove that a prophet might really not be accepted in their own hometown, even if that hometown is the prophet's deepest obsession. But, all haters aside, the band's base here, where the muddy waters meet, is devout. In fact, so popular are they locally, they can sell out a week-long series of shows where they perform each of their albums in their entirety. So I suppose this particular poppy can Stand Tall.

What we have here today is a Australian radio session from February 27th 2010 that shows off the band's "concise" side.

Setlist:
1. Intro
2. Tournament of Hearts
3. Night Windows
4. Sun In An Empty Room
5. The Reasons
6. Bigfoot
7. Pamphleteer
8. Psalm For The Elks Lodge Last Call
