    For a show I didn’t plan whatsoever, this one turned out to be pretty darn okay! That is, except for the technical glitches. And I got free juice outta the deal compliments of DJ All Good who incidentally brought his D-cell battery-powered turntable and industrial grade juicer! Life is good. Pardon me, it’s All Good.

    I started off the show today with a longish classical composition. One of my favourite pieces of music ever! Piano Concerto no. 2 composed by Shostakovich in 1957 for his son. After that, Jerry fills us in on some happnins and we take a call-in from someone who loves Elvis.(17 mins)

    Here is the MP3

    The second part of the show got a little wylie with tons of music all over the place! (25 mins)

    DJ All Good brings me juice and plays you some dusty 45’s! It was a great time! (15 mins)

  • For Geli

    Gorillaz. A favourite of mine since high school. Dare I say, a staple in my collection. This one goes out to my girl Angelie

  • Hope

    Not that it matters, but these are exactly my sentiments.

    “I firmly believe that the contemporary spiritual use of entheogenic drugs is one of humankind’s brightest hopes for overcoming the ecological crisis with which we threaten the biosphere and jeopardize our own survival, for Homo sapiens is close to the head of the list of endangered species. We need to recapture the mysterium tremendum of the unio mystica, the millennial awe our ancestors felt in the divine presence, in the sublime majesty of our marvelous Universe, in the entheogenic “bemushroomed” state the sage Gordon Wasson described.” –some guy

  • Nanaimo, beautiful exploit

    Check out this article, published in the Nanaimo Daily News: Lots of Weak Arguments

    Did Bellaart really just say that identifying a business as American is name calling? Talk about REACHING for a counter argument!

    McCaw “The American” once spent 35 million dollars on HIS CAR, and Nanaimo is expected to hand over their basin for a mere 9 million?  This is the one and only offer we’ve even gotten for our beautiful harbour! Is it an offer? Or are we getting bullied into complying?  Who’s getting paid off? The statement “to accommodate today’s larger class of yachts” has been disproved by the very makers of the (one and only) report these detrimental decisions have been based on.

    What other reports do we get to consider?

    New bill C-10 eliminates any requirement for an environmental assessment. Like I said, the only other report that has been referenced has been since revoked by its creators. So what other reports do we have to go on here?

    None whatsoever?

    Nonsensical. Darrell refers to this development saying it “will have an impact” as if it’s already underway! It’s not! We must demand review. Handing over Nanaimo’s harbour for the next 30 years is not a light matter!

    Fact: luxury yachts are NOT a growing class of boats.

    The people of Nanaimo surely don’t want their basin to be turned into a discount vacation destination for the rich to dump their septic and practice unsustainable useless consumer-based tourism.  When deals like this happen in underhanded bureaucratic QUIET ways (with local reporters spouting nonsense like this article that does little to incite critical thinking and everything to reinforce agendas at work), beautiful little progressive towns like Nanaimo get poisoned by needless consumerism, environmental decay, instability, dependency, and complacency. Shouldn’t we have a City Council that cares about this? A member of council (when asked about this massive issue) responded lightly by saying they were glad they have nothing to do with it.   !!!???

    “Life is too short to get caught up debating issues that don’t matter.” says the “news reporter”.

Lookit! An Instagram!

This is it!
