Variety is the Spice of Life: 4 Acts
The show starts off with a good bassy-techno-y song called High Together, then moves into an event update with Jerry in Da Haus. It kind of felt like we were all “High Together”. You know, like on drugs or something. I dunno. The weather, and a prompt to pay pledges. (13 mins)
Second segment commence! A bright and cheery flamenco-inspired song, followed abruptly by Ween. You know how much I love Ween, right? After that I kind of go on and on about how to listen to the SSVH. Bear with me. (10 mins)
Flora the Clairvoyant and I have a conversation about the metaphysical! Past lives, meditation, the spirit world, inner awareness, you name it. She’s going to join us again in the future of this linear time! Have a question for Flora? Send your questions to ashta@ashta(dot)ca. We end the segment with some highjacked reglious song: Selassie is the Chapel by Bob Marley mon. (18 mins)
Basement Batman, Cab Calloway, Rap News, and Kate Bush. It’s not called a variety hour for nothin, folks. (19 mins)

SSVH: Good Music, New Releases
This mornings show starts off with a little bit-o-Al Green. Goes into some conversation about the most disturbing horror movie ever. Continues with some event updates via Jerry Steen. Segment ends with the first song of a 3 song set by Plants and Animals, a band I’m going to see tomorrow night in Vancouver! I’m so excited for 3 days in the city. (21 mins)
Second Act of the variety hour; 2 more songs from Montreal band Plants and Animals and then 2 songs from Halifaxian Mat Mays played for Patrick. Straight-up-feel-good muzak. (18 mins)
Third Act of the variety hour, we get away from the Canadiana and dive right into the melodies of Grizzly Bear with the first two tracks of their new album Shields. After that, you hear me get really excited about an album that I am really excited about. It’s my favourite new release. Muse, The 2nd Law. Three words to describe it: epic as fuck. I think I’m buying this album for everyone I love when gift-giving time comes around. BONUS TRACK! Final track on the album Isolated System. (25 minutes)

WTF FIPA
FIPA in a nutshell: Harper signs a very quiet, very quick deal with China. No one is advised. The deal? China gets anything they want from Canada. The catch? They’re allowed to sue anyone or anything that gets in the way of maximum profit.
Debate? Nope. Not allowed.
Will the environment be considered at all? Nope. That went out the window with omnibus bill C-10.
Here’s a quick video that makes all the points you should know:
Yeaaaah.
Also, it’s been proven that Stevey totally cheated and lied and is also just….committing crimes all the time.
Why isn’t he impeached right now?
Because no one knows about it. The government essentially owns and controls the mainstream media, so if folks DO know anything about it, they just don’t give a fuck. The illusion is that they shouldn’t have to.
If you do give a fuck (and enjoy a little legal mumbo jumbo) here is the agreement: http://www.international.gc.ca/trade-agreements-accords-commerciaux/agr-acc/fipa-apie/china-text-chine.aspx?lang=en&view=d
If you want to do something about it, then get your lazy ass over to another window and write an email to your representative demanding they give a fuck about it too.
