Show Today on CHRY

On Air for my last thursday slot 8-10 pm. Featuring Kyle Knapp as my guest host and for the first time ever prizes. What Could they be???
tune in to find out.

Eric Mercury (Electric Blackman)

It's funky and soulful and its from Toronto, another Canadian soul classic.

Golden Boys (Plainsman's lament)

On Plainsman's lament off The Golden Boys pull of that Lou Reed cool that so many bands these days try to ape but fail miserably to channel.

The Sadies Featuring the Mighty Pope

This is a Christmas tune and I'm well aware it ain't December but I'm going to post it anyways. Too bad this collaboration didn't stick. I would really love to see the Sadies try their hand at some more soul and R and B, they did a pretty admirable job on this festive staple. As for the Mighty Pope, he's in fine form, and despite his age puts on a hell of a vocal performance. Whoah, I just used the words hell and Christmas in the same paragraph, which pretty much sums up what that time of the year is to a lot of people, fitting!

Show Today

Spinning from 8-10 pm today on CHRY 105.FM (available to stream off the CHRY Website). Playing the usuals soul, rock, garage, punk. Today were going to have an extra dose of Canadian funk and soul including stuff from Toronto's cross dressing answer to Wilson Pickett Jackie Shane.
CBC has a great doc on him/her stream it here

Spoon River (Stare into a river)

Neil Young meets the Band meets Vancouver. They have a record out called Kingdom of the Burned track it down you won't be sorry. Hopefully we hear a new record from these guys real soon

Briann Dunn (Examining the Fallout)

For my money one of the best albums of 2010 I'm awfully suprised it didn't catch on in the Canadian indie scene. Sometimes the good one's slip by with little to no fanfare hopefully this album recieves the attention it deserves in the near future. It's timeless alt country in the best way, a winner from start to finish.

Show from this week (March 10)

Another 2 hours of live off the floor radio including a discussion of everyone's favorite cartoon band the Archies, Hayden telling a disgusting tale of a sandwich gone awry, and lots of good tunes.

J Mascis (Not Enough)

How does an acoustic album made by a man whose defined his career on fuzzed out Rawk sound? Pretty damn sweet! Not convinced, check him out live for free at sonic boom on Friday, or later in the evening at the mod club.

Ty Segall (Gloria)

Ty covering Van Morrison from his Them days. If Van Morrison isn't going to rock this song out in concert like it deserves to be it's good that someone has stepped up to the plate. Just for kicks here is also a bloated Jim Morrison and the doors covering Gloria, showing that a great song doesn't always make for a great cover.

Dismemberment Plan (The City)

Yeah for awesome reunion tours, boo for awesome reunion tours not coming to Toronto. The Dismemberment Plan play one of my least favorite Dismemberment Plan songs live on my least favorite late night talk show. (I'm more of an Conan, The Dismemberment Plan Is Terrified kinda guy. Also for those wondering I don't consider Leno to be late night tv, in the same way I don't consider infomericals to be tv) Inspite of the matchup this is still better than 95 % of tv, and about 50% of what's on youtube you really just can't compete with such a wealth of charlie sheen clips.

Wavves King of The Beach

This is the kind of music video that makes me glad music video's aren't on tv anymore. The song is awesome but the music video really feeds into the whole Wavves is an immature jerk thing that people are always prattling on about.
