CBC Radio 2 Drive

i am currently listening to the awesome voice of one mister Rich Terfry....also known as Buck 65, or Dirk Thornton...
he has other aliases...but i don't know them at present moment.

he has put a temporary hold on touring/Buck 65 stuff to do some radio DJ-ing...something that apparently he loves to do, and has always wanted to do...
as he puts it on his website:

"It's going to be a learning experience, but I love radio and have always seen it as my dream job. And on the program I'm basically playing music and telling stories, my two favorite things!

For more information on the relaunch of Radio 2 and my new Drive program, please CLICK HERE.

For live international streaming of my program starting on September 2nd, please CLICK HERE. Live streaming happens from 2pm to 5pm Eastern Standard Time (EST)."

and so far, he's doing a great job. i've been listening in to his show, trying to catch it from start to finish, and it's been a lot of fun listening to him...
he does play a lot of great Canadian stuff, but not only Canadian either...he's played Caribbean, European, roots, grass roots, country, rap, and much more worldly stuff...
(listening today, he played my absolute favourite recent Coldplay song: Strawberry Swing !!!)

i just discovered a band from listening to this station, that are in fact from Ottawa: Hilotrons.
i think i shall enjoy them...as i enjoyed their song that was played.
i have heard of them before, but i haven't heard anything by them...until now.

being a DJ and musician himself, he undoubtedly knows his stuff, and what he is doing...so, once again i encourage everyone who reads this to listen in!
CBC Radio 2 Drive.

a chill in the air, in september she comes

will be writing a small blurb bout Coldplay's recent concert that was here in Ottawa - soon.
this is just a short 'n sweet note bout one of my favourite hip-hop/turntablists of all time.
that's right: Buck 65.

just released the video for his Shutterbuggin'. weird seeing him in a girls wig. a blonde he is not. sorry Buck. but, i do have to say that he has the moves :D
even shows people the Mick Jagger Interpretive Dance moves. check that shit out! hilarious!

AND one last thing.
i do try to listen in....i really do. BUT Rich Terfry can be heard daily from 3pm to 6pm on CBC Radio 2's Drive. listen in as he plays music from Canadian artists, stemming from all genres.
if not for the music, then just listen to him talk. listen to his stories.

[oh. and is it crazy for me to recognize the (cutie) drummer in this particular photo? from the thumbnail? it is, isn't it? he's the Woodman. Matthew Woodley. from Canadian indie group Plants & Animals. awesome.]
