Twangin’ and Slangin’
This week on the Sweet and Sour, wade cautiously into the waters of the country music genre. We take it nice and easy, like a suspicious mare going headlong into an unknown river.
She’s got a heavy rider and the scent of gators in her nose. Aint no tellin’ if she’ll make it across alive.
If this here is unfamiliar territory, just trust the boot. This son of a gun’s got the reins and you’ll be glad you came along.

Afro Pop and Beats
This week on The Sweet and Sour, it’s a whole darn hour of non-stop music. That’s right! No interruptions with an obnoxious car sales ad, or with a promo from an over-excited fast food enthusiast. No waiting for 5 or 7 minutes before the radio station gets back to what you tuned in for: the music. At CHLY, the ads we do play happen at the top of the hour, and even then, they’re generally community information-based and not hardcore salesy.
OK, except for right now.
We’re in a funding drive at the moment, which means we’re inviting listeners to help fund our not-for-profit radio station. That means you can set up a monthly donation, and join all the others who value a healthy independent radio station. Stations like this one are an endangered species of media. There are 40 coastal communities who can tune in, but only because of those who have given their time and a few dollars over the years. You can choose your monthly gift, as little as $3.50 and set it up in no time at all over at chly.ca/donate
And to those constant supporters out there, thank you. There are many facets of people-power that make this station happen. Recurring donators, office volunteers, programmers, and more – all give willingly and meaningfully to CHLY. You are appreciated.
I myself have produced this radio show for ten years, which means that every week, I give the time it takes to screen music, assemble it in an order I think you’ll love, and package it up so it sounds good. Over the years, that’s about 1400 hours of unpaid labour! I do it because I love to share music, and I want to make sure whoever tunes in has a good time. Now multiply my effort by about 40 (which is roughly all the other weekly programmers), and there you have a small village worth of keen community members with you in mind. We do it for you. Could you do a little for us?

Hidden Gems
We got Dutch, we got German, we got French, we got Cascadian. This week on The Sweet and Sour Variety Hour we hear stuff that sounds industrial, experimental, instrumental, sentimental and all other manner of mentals. Like a potent little garlic clove, I’ve planted my favourite song from KMVP’s new record On The Cusp. If you get your grubby paws on a copy of this limited release, you are sure to garner hella cool points (which is the nourishment of every vinyl collector, let’s be honest).
Please dont forget that CHLY is listener-funded and the hosts are volunteers. Listener-funded means that since we don’t take major media conglomerate money, we aren’t beholden to supporting a consumer-capitalist narrative like all the other radio stations in this area are.
Every now and then, we ask you to pitch in some dollars so we can keep bringing you the independent content a well-informed public deserves.
We cannot live in a world informed by the corporate media only. We need independent music, critical-thought, and unbiased reporting. This arrives to you for free through financially-healthy community-based media like CHLY! Please consider setting up a small monthly gift at chly.ca/donate
