ERITREAN COMMUNITY RADIO 26 JULY 2026 SHOW, ARTICLES ERITREAN FESTIVALS, ABOUT FINAL FIFA WORLD CUP 2026, TEN IMPORTANT POINTS TO KNOW ABOUT CANADA, INTRODUCING VILLAGES AND CITEIS FROM ASMARA TO FILFIL SOLOMUNA, AUDIENCE MESSAGES , ONTARIO WEATHER FORECAST.
Didn’t have time to prepare an actual show this week, so rather than skip it I decided to live up to the show’s name and literally put (the highlights of) my library on shuffle, testing my knowledge of my own library on the fly. The results are definitely a little scuffed. But maybe charmingly so? I stand by enough of the tracks that showed up, anyway. Less so my chatter. Will hopefully be better with a slightly more curated library next time. I’d say more than half of these are tracks that I would put on an actual show.
Next tracks would’ve been Nine Inch Nails’ “Sanctified” and X’s “The World’s a Mess, It’s in My Kiss”. Those would’ve been good ones to play. Ah well.

Cambridge, ON – A Cambridge bus driver is bringing a piece of history to local transit terminals through his passion for music. Tracy MacDonnell, a Grand River Transit (GRT) operator, uses his route breaks to step off the bus and play the fife, an 18th-century military instrument similar to a flute, for waiting passengers.
MacDonnell has been playing the fife for 36 years, after first learning the instrument while working at Toronto’s Historic Fort York. What started as a job requirement became a lifelong passion for traditional fife and folk music.
Over the past two decades as a GRT driver in Cambridge, MacDonnell has continued using music as a way to manage the stress of the job and connect with the public. Passengers have often responded positively, with some applauding his performances and sharing their appreciation.
In this CKMS News interview, MacDonnell discusses the history of the fife, how he became a bus driver, and why sharing a brief moment of happiness through music remains meaningful to him.
by: dan kellar Kitchener ON – Ahead of the official municipal campaign period, community builder, housing advocate, and mayoral candidate David Alton has started hosting a series of community townhalls which will focus on how to ensure that all residents share the same rights to live their lives and be integrated in efforts to “build a joyful city”.
The first event, which took place in June was The Right to Belong, with the second in the series The Right to Housing happening Saturday July 25th at the Chandler Mowat Community Centre in Kitchener. The other events will take place once per month in the lead up to the October election.
According to government data including the “Point in Time” count, nearly 2,400 people were experiencing homelessness in Waterloo Region, with about 78% of those folks experiencing “chronic homelessness. Provincially, the rate of homelessness increased by 25% between 2020 and 2024 and across the country according to the federal government “Over the past five years, the total population experiencing homelessness on a single night has increased by 59%”. The total number of homeless folks on any given night in Canada is over 65,000.
Candidate Alton, who was a recipient of the Region of Waterloo’s “Community educator award in housing” told CKMS News that “I see this campaign as a public education opportunity” and that each townhall will lead to calls to action and it is their intent to “Spread these calls to action and these platforms that are community built, to every candidate to try to get them as far as possible.”
What’s up, y’all? Tonight’s show is the 84th All Things Considered, in which I make the case for blog-era heroes Pac Div, a hidden gem group from the west coast that bridged significant gaps between the blogs and the old heads, giving us a great discography that should not be forgotten to time.

CAMBRIDGE, ON – The Long Dash Festival is a free, two-day event running between July 25 and 26, exploring the creative intersections between art and science. Hosted at rare Charitable Research Reserve in Cambridge, Ontario, and co-presented by Musagetes, the festival takes its name from the Long Dash Skipper, a brown and orange butterfly found in grassy habitats, including at the site of the festival.
In this segment, I’ll be in conversation with Elwood Jimmy, Indigenous Programs Curator at Musagetes, who highlights how Indigenous knowledge systems and ways of relating to the land inform the approach to programming the festival, and how the festival being sited at rare Charitable Research Reserve has helped shape the experience of the festival over the last three years.
In this conversation, Jimmy mentions Elder Peter Schuler, Elder of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation of the Anishnaabek Peoples. His collection of literary works, “The Sound of the Homeland Drum” was launched at the ArtsEverywhere Festival in Guelph in May 2026 through the Indigenous Otherwise Program, and printed by Publication Studio Guelph, both supported by the Musagetes Foundation. Learn more at publicationstudio.biz/books/the-sound-of-the-homeland-drum/.
The Long Dash Festival is free to attend, and listeners can find the full schedule and learn more about the festival at longdashfestival.ca.

On tonight’s show Dave and Haley talk about their decision to sign up for Tidal after the company released an updated AI policy that shows some signs of progress with regard to how streaming platforms approach distributing music. Importantly, they put people first – or at least they say they are. Also, come see us play at the Yeti with Willem James Cowan! Wednesday July 22nd at 8pm. Tix available here.
I sat down with hip hop artist Zaire Ink. He’s making headlines with his unique sound and approach, to say the least! Plus, information on Fan Expo Toronto which is coming up August 27 To August 30th at the Metro Toronto Convention Center, old school and new school tunes, and more!

Back after missing last week talking about the unhip hipness of city pop, video game layoffs, and more. I also talk a bit about the 33 1/3 book series, pictured above. (Ignore that I read a 6 as a 0 when taking the picture.)
