The Weakerthans with Sarah Harmer: CBC Sessions (2005)



Yesterday we talked up Greg Macpherson (see HERE), one of Winnipeg's favoured lefty-indie-punk sons. So that seems to be as good as reason as any to remind you of Winnipeg's more famous lefty-indie punks sons, The Weakerthans (more HERE). What we have for you today is a CBC session of the band playing a set alongside Toronto alt-country heroine, Sarah Harmer.

The Weakerthans with Sarah Harmer, Glenn Gould Studio, Toronto, 18 November 2005

1) My Favourite Chords
2) Reconstruction Site
3) Psalm for the Elks Lodge Last Call
4) Utilities
5) Night Windows
6) Swinging Party (The Replacements cover)
7) Reasons
8) Past-Due

Sarah Harmer with The Weakerthans, Glen Gould Studio, Toronto, 18 November 2005

4) Islands in the Stream (Bee Gees cover)

    Weakerthans! I was pretty upset when CBC Radio 3 lost their online magazine format.. along with some of their backlog of sessions.

    Perfect for a drizzly day. Thankyakindly.

    I'd support the band more, but I've already bought (CDs, even) everything they've released.

    So thanks for this :).

    Hey -- thanks for the post. Love Sarah Harmer; was introduced to her and the Weakerthans by a friend Up North (hi, Ruthie!).

    Anyways... the archive is missing "Weakened State" -- any chance for a repost?

    Cheers,
