When asked about the name of this podcast, Richard Terfry (a.k.a. Buck 65) merely stated, “I pulled music from my record collection, which is arranged alphabetically, and I only got as far as the letter F.”

Terfrey clearly put some serious time and thought into the track selection here. On The A to F Podcast, rather than simply mix an hour’s worth of music and chuck it to an audience, he carefully leads us through each song, stopping to explain the origins of the music, tell an anecdote here and there, give shout-outs to fellow Canadian musicians, and hand us a few pieces of little-known music history. Our consensus: he’d make a mighty fine radio-show host from the sounds of this mix.

Terfry just released a new album under his Bike for Three! project, which he does alongside Belgian-based Hoelle Phuong Minh Le (a.k.a. Greetings From Tuskan). More Heart Than Brains is available via anticon..
