08-26-2010 - Another Southern Hemispheric Christmas


Download (Right-click + Save Link As): 1:04:01 - 37mb

South of the equator, people are busy celebrating their Southern Hemispheric Christmas and Boxing Day, and since the show has such a strong fan base in the lower latitudes, I joined in on the festivities.

Right off the top of the show, I announced Santa's Fop Five Favourite Reindeer (you won't believe who he let's ride shotgun), and I opened a big Southern Hemispheric present on the air from a fan.

OH MY GOD! THIS PODCAST IS ACTION PACKED!!!

Also on the show this week:
  • How-To Clean Your Chimney (if you know what I mean).
  • Crazy Crazy Craigslist: 6' XMAS Tree + Breadmaker
  • Moon Down Mail Bag: What's the perfect stocking stuffer?
  • Santa Claus called in to tell us he needed to take a poo.
  • How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
  • and a bunch of phone-in music requests...

Guitar virtuoso Taylor Watson joined me in studio as we discussed everything and anything related to music, including whether animals enjoy music or not, and the possibilities of pianos being racist.

Also on the show:
  • Taylor tried his hand at the Trivial Trivia Knowledge Concerning Music Game
  • Bieber-Mania and Bieber-itis: I asked people on the streets of Ottawa if they thought Justin Bieber would be around in 10 years, and we tried to get the 'Biebs' on the phone for an interview.
  • Unusual Instruments: The Didgeridoo, the skin flute, the triangle, stylophone, and spoons!
  • Taylor mentioned The Bilge Rats
  • and much more...


"Let's get guitarded!" - Taylor W.

Finally, Taylor grabbed his electric chick magnet (AKA electric guitar), I got on the keys, and we played our hit song "Three-Ring Binders", and B-side "Staplers".

08-05-2010 - The Dubé Brothers



Download (Right-click + Save Link As): 1:05:39 - 61mb

On this week's show The Dubé Brothers performed live in studio!

After a few technical glitches, the boys finally hit the FM airwaves for the first time in their young career. Fast forward to the 13th minute to hear Quinn (Age 9 - Drums), Jan (Age 11 - Bass/Vocals) and Liam (Age 13 - Lead Guitar) as they play a selection of cover tunes, as well as an original song they wrote themselves.

Jan (Age 11 - Bass/Lead Vocals)

The Dube Brothers also talked a little bit about their fundraising efforts for Canadian Feed the Children, what it was like performing with Hollerado at Bluesfest, and meeting Arcade Fire.

As we were getting ready to launch into another set, Jan said he needed to go to the washroom, so Liam fired his way through the Thunder Round by himself. When all the brothers were back in studio, we played a little Rock & Roll Jeopardy! during which we discovered that the boys don't own a television. Drummer Quinn capped off the night with the finest burp this side of the Ottawa river.
