CJMP Podcast

it's the #aurorafest2014 podcast! Nicholas Simons calls in from the airport, and as usual, a great musical lineup for two hours.

It's the kickoff of the second Aurora Festival here in Powell River, and what better way to get lubricated than by immersing oneself into a steaming hot bath of deadly psychedelic mindfuckery? Really, you have an answer to that question? It was rhetorical. Or was it?

Confused about plastic?  Is it recyclable, is it compostable, are plastics really all that fantastic?  Tune in to explore the vastly diverse world of polymers that surround us.  We also break down the history of plastic, starting with its invention and down the road to when plastic outgrew steel and became the most widely used material in the world!

I'm joined in-studio by Nicholas Simons, and Amy Sharp calls in to let us know everything we need to know about Beer on the Pier!

#AtmosphereGathering breakdown, Janet Roger's interview with Tanya Tagaq, 2 Dope Boys in A Cadillac live at Atmosphere, Atomic Heart Festival Of Solo Performers 2 breakdown, what's coming up at Sunshine Music Festival, Crea8tive Differences: I'm Going to Burning Man (and you're not) Aurora Innovative Arts Festival and more!

A fit of coughing and occasional mental lapses seem to prefigure a kind of psychic breakdown, possibly the symptoms of early-onset don't-give-a-fuck-ism or some other terrible affliction. Nonetheless, through the murk and uneven sound levels come occasional signs of quality and effort. Don't kid yourself, though: the good bits won't last long. In the end, we all die alone. TURN IT UP LOUD!

So much to tell you about this week! Nicholas Simons calls in from vacation (telephone audio is a little fuzzy - sorry!) to discuss his new role in the Shadow Cabinet with the Portfolios for Small Business and for Arts and Culture, and Coastal Economic Development. We also discuss the Mount Polley Mine disaster and Blackberry Street Party.

I am also joined in-studio by Ionatan Waisgluss to discuss Laugh til it Hurts, Powell River's first amateur comedy competition for charity. 

Plus lots of great music from the likes of XTC, The Pack A.D., The Stranglers, Modest Mouse, The Dandy Warhols and, by special request, one of Danny Kaye's stories.
