Godspeed You! Black Emperor is a band that is near and dear to our hearts. They are the one of the first bands that we featured on “The Electrifying Adventures of DJ Jeff E Jeff”, our Audio Comic that features great Canadian Bands. As such, when we saw their new album ‘Asunder, Sweet and Other Distress’ we knew we had to release it on the same day that we closed out The Electrifying Adventures – Canada Day!
Sit back and enjoy this soundscape! Then go and pick up this album! You will not be disappointed!
Jan Westcott is our guest today. Jan is with Spirits Canada www.acd.ca . www.mydrinkmychoice.ca The distillery members of Spirits Canada are major users of ontario grains. Jan brought a bunch of great tunes. I think we got through about 2/3 of them.
Hi Everyone in Radioland.
Just for today, please go to www.coralandrews.ca for today’s show. It is a special Canada Day presentation. I will upload it to Sound FM when I have more time. My show is filled with other content today. Thanks Coral
We found out earlier this year that Paul Jago was going to be releasing some new songs. He just recently put out a few demo tapes! We aren’t sure if he is going to be taking these into the recording studio or not….but we were so stoked to hear these that we had to do a feature. Check them out above!
Amy Cronin and Scott Graham are today’s guests. Amy and Scott are members of www.ontariopresidentscouncil.com Amy is the Chair of www.ontariopork.on.ca/ and Scott, the Chair of www.eggfarmersofontario.ca/ . We played some C&W , and music from some up and coming Canadian musicians.
Okay so this is less of a review and more a video of one of our favourite performances from the festival. We just got this tech the day before the festival and untested we embarked on the electrifying adventure. Obviously we need to invest in a tripod and a windscreen but this video should get the idea across about how awesome this band is!
Their were soo many bands we had the pleasure of seeing including our shows favourite local band Pick a Piper! But the highlight of this years festival was the band Son Lux who put on an amazing performance! Check out a track here:
We analyze the new Limblifter video for their sweet new track “Dopamine” Check it out here and then listen again to their actual video without all out chitter chatter over top.
In our first ever episode we check out the new Captain Canuck series that we picked up at Carry-On Comics!
Patrick Jilesen is the studio guest today. Pat is an advocate for agriculture while he operates his family farm and participates in policy development for Ontario agriculture. Pat brought top ten music by some familiar musicians. Great songs that will be around for awhile.
Felix Weber www.agbusiness.ca , Kaye McLaga www.premierequipment.ca , and Max Salman http://www.geomaxx.ca are in the studio today. It’s all about precision agriculture. We played lots of tunes,,, with three guests, we doubled our usual playcount.
We heard that Gilt Restaurant had our favourite Lake of Bays Brewing Company beverages and so we had to check out this restaurant to see how it was.
To Start things off the Lady fox has some food allergies and this restaurant was very accommodating! The server even went over with her which items she should choose from and worked out a personal mean just for her. Not only that, most “Special Orders” in other restaurants are just thrown together in an attempt to get something out. This looked and tasted amazing!
The Rest of us decided upon 6 tapas to share.
The first was some amazing chicken that was like nothing I have ever tastes before. It can be seen in the skillet in the image here. Those pieced of heaven in front of the skillet at the puff potatoes…WOW, they were AMAZING! Let move along to the next course..
This was my (DJ Steel’s) favourite dish of the evening. The Lobster Rolls. A close second was the puff potatoes seen above. These lobster rolls were loaded with lobster!
The Next Selection here was DJ AdRock’s favourite dish of the evening the pork belly perogies!
On the menu is a Lake of Bays Brewing Company IPA beer. We confirmed with the server this is the 10 point ale. This was a perfect complementary drink for these dishes, as seen in the photo’s they didn’t last too long.
DJ AdRock then went with a Lake of Bays Brewing Company Crosswind pale ale and I got another 10 point.
The next part of the meal was the scallops! Perfectly cooked! What a way to finish off the dinner part….but we were not done there! We had to stick around for some dessert!
Gilt Restaurant did not disappoint! Everything was so good! In addition to the restaurant being so good we hear that a few days after we were there they had an outdoor concert on their patio!
We definitely give Gilt Restaurant two thumbs up! Check them out online here:
Today’s guests are Jim Coffey, Ashley Hall, and Roy Hickling. Our guests all have a connection to www.pioneer.com ,a seed supplier in Ontario. You can catch some of Roy’s music at www.royhickling.com . We had live music, music from CD, and fav tunes from everyone.
Today’s guests were Susan Mills and Sandra Quehl. The trophy they are holding is the Waterloo Junior Farmers Award for Outstanding Dramatic Performance. This was for the years 1948-1981. A fitting piece of memorabilia for this years 100th anniversary of a Junior Farmer club in Waterloo. Susan and Sandra brought lots of news of the upcoming celebration Aug 22 in Wellesley. Check out the event and news here, http://waterloojf100.weebly.com/ and here, https://www.facebook.com/groups/271780469548415/ . We had some really great music to play courtesy of our guests.
