Indie Insider – September 8, 2010

September 8th, 2010 by Rhonda Lyn

Today’s episode of Indie Insider features Toronto’s own Ohbijou.  I caught up with them to find out what their experience at the Regina Folk Festival was like, how they’re giving back to their community through music, and why lead singer Casey Mecija covered a Beatles song in lullaby form.  Talk about pressure!  Tune in to CJTR from 12:30-1PM today to hear the entire interview.

Δ Far-Gone Accumulator Δ, SG worship…

September 6th, 2010 by Michel LeGrisbi

Rejoice! Tuesday is almost upon us! Δ Far-Gone Accumulator Δ is ready to bring forth classic heaviness. Some you’ve certainly heard before from AC/DC. Some “non-hit” gems from Black Sabbath. Some from feedback fanatics Boris, and some just simply sick and twisted from Australia’s Guild of Destruction! Fear not, six-string haters, all will not be guitar driven. Listen also for Philip Glass, music from Seven and more!

The Conductor’s Caboose (Sept 3rd & 4th)

September 1st, 2010 by Rob H.

I hate to say this gang, but…SUMMER’S OVER! The Labour Day weekend and the beeg game on Sunday are coming up, but the kids are back in school, so we must quit deluding ourselves and bear down on Autumn. It’s here…accept it. But no matter if it’s Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall…there will always be great music for one and all courtesy of your Friendly Neighbourhood Conductor. Time for the coming attractions radio listeners…

More Soul and Boss Souinds…As Usual!

Boss Radio (Friday 4-6 pm) continues to bring you more selections from the Kent/Modern stables, circa 1960′s, along with a continuation of The Legends Of Early Soul. In keeping with the good vibe left over from Wattstax August, Boss will be airing some classic early seventies’ Soul wax. Whether you like to show your bad self or your good self,  just make sure it’s your BEST self. I will provide the soundtrack for you to do so, YOU worry about the rest.

Riders In The Sky Bookender Stars For PLS Next Two Weeks!

Since 1977, Riders In the Sky have been carrying the torch for Western Harmonic music and continue to do so through touring, appearances on The Grand Ole’ Opry (where they’ve been performing regularly since being inducted back in 1982), radio, television and through recordings made with Rounder Records. The Prairie Lily Special (Saturday 6-8 pm) is proud to present a few of their recordings from 1980 to 1995 on the Bookender Spotlight this week and on the September 11th show. I’m proud to bring these wonderful musical restorationists to you and I hope you enjoy them over the next two weeks!

Indie Insider – September 1, 2010

September 1st, 2010 by Rhonda Lyn

Tune in to Indie Insider TODAY from 12:30-1PM to hear the latest in a series of episodes featuring Regina Folk Festival artists. 

I caught up with Saskatchewan’s own Little Miss Higgins to find out how the Albertan ended up here (it was a LONG journey!), why she loves singing about the simple prairie life, and what it was like singing her tribute song to Louis Riel in the same park he was hung in. 

Check out my blog to find out which song she requested to hear at the end of the show.

What Planet Is This?! Show #42 (I think) LONG-PLAY TUESDAY!

August 31st, 2010 by Chris

    What Planet Is This?!
    Hi friends,
    It’s going to be a special program tonight on WPIT! I’ve long had a bit of a fascination with vinyl records, dating all the way back to when I broke my dad’s turntable as a tyke. I bought my first turntable just a few years ago – let’s say, around 5 or 6 years – at the Community Radio Garage Sale, of all places, and have been building a steady collection ever since. I like old records for that old record sound – some crackle and fuzz, but I also like buying new records. Partly for novelty, I’ll admit, but partly because I’m convinced it just sounds nicer than CD and certainly nicer than mp3. It’s just a bigger, warmer, nicer sound. That said, I’ve probably accumulated around 200 records since then. Some neat old jazz stuff, pop rock stuff, electronic, funk, reggae, symphonic, experimental, rare and odd stuff…
    So, I’ve decided to start Long-Play Tuesday! On the last Tuesday of every month, I will play all vinyl records.
    That said, you can get at least an idea of what’ll go down tonight. I’ve played plenty of records on the show in the past, but this time I’ll be getting down and dirty – digging into the depths to find some cool selections to cram into the hour! I know you’re going to like this!
    Update:
    Thanks for listening, folks! That was a fun one for me. I hope you enjoyed it too. Check out WhatPlanetRadio.wordpress.com for a playlist and more.

What Planet Is This?! Show #41 (I think)

August 24th, 2010 by Chris

    What Planet Is This?!
    Oh man! For once, I can say it was kind of a long week since last show. A lot of stuff has happened and I’m a little exhausted, so tonight I’m going to let the music take me away to another space and time. I hope you can join me and do the same.
    I’m feeling one of those all-over-the-map kind of shows tonight. Not too much of any particular style or idiom. You will definitely hear some of the following: Rob McConnell & The Boss Brass, Leonard Cohen, Beck, Radiohead, Parliament, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings…
    As well, I picked up a bunch of give-away records yesterday, so I may sneak in one or two tracks from those.
    Thanks for listening! Check out WhatPlanetRadio.wordpress.com for a playlist.

August 23rd, 2010 by Michel LeGrisbi

Hope you have a strong stomach, Δ Far-Gone Accumulator Δ is about to get punishingly heavy with the help of Suffocation! On the opposite end off the metal spectum come Goatsnake to bury their victims under drones dug by solid stoner grooves! All that nastiness won’t occur till the second half of the show so if your taste is more grit not grizzly, there is still plenty reason to tune in! We’ll start off right with tunes from Charlie Feathers and Hank Penny! Things will keep rocking with The Musical Linn Twins and Dale Hawkins! More music from So-Cal’s Strange Rebel Frequency! Prepare to twist into strange territory with Mental Express! A few more surprises are planned so tune in tuesday! Bwaaa-ha-haaa!
