Growing up I used to listen to a show on CBC Radio called "Brave New Waves". The show aired overnight five nights a week and it profiled alternative and indie music and culture, including film, comics, literature and art. This episode's playlist is somewhat of a reflection on those long ago nights when I was up late studying or getting home after work.

The Rodent Hour is an homage to the friends that Matt Attack made during his misspent youth, those lifelong friends who joined him on those weekend nights so many years ago and whose eclectic tastes still influence the selection of artists and music that is featured on the show.
Thirteen years after arriving in Brooklyn he continues to be a tireless advocate for the independent musicians that still play with the ferocity and intensity he grew up listening to.
