CJMP Podcast

Bad Karen was called away but Colm has taken over the airwaves in her absence.  Be prepared for strangeness ...

it's an abbreviated show this week as Bad Karen had to leave to catch the ferry to Texada for Diversity Music Festival.  Nonetheless, there is some great music and an update from Sunshine Coast MLA Nicholas Simons on 'What's Up Down in Victoria' (also available as a stand-alone podcast).  Music from Richard Hawley, Siouxse & The Banshees, Devo, Stars, The Black Keys, and Metric.  And more.

Gadzooks!  I realized after posting the 6/29 podcast that the 6/22 podcast hadn't been uploaded.  As I hadn't received any complaints, I would imagine that no one has been terribly put out by this oversight ...

So, here it is in all its glory, including 'What's Up Down in Victoria' with Nicholas Simons who gives a weather report, updates on CLBC, Sliammon Treaty, SOAP, festivals and Junuary.

Musical selections from Shout Out Louds, The Concretes, Metric, T. Rex, ABC and XTC.

Another day, another slap-dash show only this week, Bad Karen is tardy as well so it's only 1h45m.  Ah well, it's full of goodness with music from The New Pornographers, The Yardbirds, Spoon, King Khan & The Shrines, Imaginary Cities and Florence & The Machine.

Nicholas Simons is on the road this week, but hopefully back for next week's show.

Better late than never, which is usually how I like to roll into the studio for my show so the uploading of the podcast this week is no exception!

This week's show features a call-in 'What's Up Down in Victoria' with Sunshine Coast MLA Nicholas Simons in which we discuss various bills that were passed in the legislature.  And music from all over the map: Donovan, Foster the People, The Elwins (my new fav!), Shriekback, Volumizer, The New Pornographers, and more.

Bad Karen is back from Vancouver Craft Beer Week and she's hungover, so it's a mixed bag of hangover cure including Portugal. The Man, The Kills, Devo, Rich Hope & His Evil Doers, and more.  Just play the damn file already!

Also featuring music by Big Country, Suede, Jerk with a Bomb, David Dondero, Oliver Swain, Dave Hause, Tori Amos, Midnight Oil, Gang of Four, Tokyo Police Club, and much more. Plus, community announcements! 

Bad Karen steps away from the studio this week and foolishly allows David and Kamandi to take over for a couple hours of jangle pop. Also featuring an interview with two of the members of Dave Lang & The Black Squirrels, appearing the same evening as part of the "Friday Night Live" series in Powell River.

Sunshine Coast MLA Nicholas Simons via telephone during the first half hour for 'What's Up Down in Victoria'.  Topics include ferries & DriveAble.  

In the second hour, Bad Karen is joined in studio by Victoria band Helloseptember who played the Friday Night Live series at the Carlson Club later that night.  

Lots of Can-Con including two songs from Helloseptember, Chromeo, Hilary Grist, Jenn Grant and The Pack A.D.  Plus some non Can-Con.

May the fourth be with you!  The MLA is MIA this week so no report from the front lines in Victoria; however, we have an in-studio chat & live performance from Victoria band The June Fiasco.

Musical selections include Ted Leo & The Pharmacists, King Khan & The Shrines, The Hidden Cameras, Modest Mouse, The Black Keys, The Abbie Hoffman Society, and Supergrass.
