The Lunchbox Interview: Adityaa Mohan on Chennai Flood Relief
Disaster struck half-way around the world, and yet it has resonance from right within our community. Chennai in India suffered devastating floods which many are still recovering from. Adityaa Mohan, a grad student studying at UNB, comes from Chennai, and stopped by the station to tell us his story of keeping track of family and friends throughout this ordeal, and the subsequent rush of support and kindness that is coming as much from the people on the ground as well as the international community.
Adityaa shared a few links that he feels help to further illustrate the story, and lead to some places to help as well:
- #ChennaiMicro (Facebook) has been a hashtag tracking a lot of the efforts so far, and the needs.
- Videos and photos of some of the devastation (warning, images contain bodies).
- TamilTV (video)
- Dinakaran Daily Newspaper (photo)
- Chennai Memes (video) – boat on water
- Chennai Memes (video) – military aid

The Crazy Train Episode #LXVII
On this weekends episode of the Crazy Train we were joined by our special guest and long time friend Rusty Von Hammerdown. Rusty (AKA: Grant Forsythe) hosts a kick ass Punk Rock radio show on ‘Woody Radio’. Rusty’s not much into the Metal scene, but he was the guy who introduced me to the Hardcore/Cross-Over Metal scene ‘back in the day’. So we both talk a lot about music and the local scene. Rusty is also the singer of local Punk Rock legends/icons ‘Neighborhood Watch’ who had just done their 30th anniversary reunion tour in October 2015. Always great to hang out with Gran… erm I mean Rusty, he’s about one of the most crass guys I know on the planet and I love the guy for it! Back in 1994, Grant and I used to host a local Punk Rock/Alternative music show called ‘Institutionalized’ after the show’s original host and creator, Nick Oliver, moved to Halifax.
Lots of great Metal on Episode 67! When do we not play awesome Metal!?
Here’s the play list for the show:
HOUR I:
Ozzy – Crazy Train | Hashtag This! (Fredericton) – The Fall | Doom Machine (Halifax) – Fight ‘Til The End and Beyond The Distant Sun | Chaos Theory (Halifax) – Evaporate |Nihilo Machina (North Shore NB) – Last Messiah | Last Kick (Halifax) – Monster | Rosewood Annie (Halifax) – Philadelphia Collins | Death Valley Driver (P.E.I.) – Drowning In Silver | Adrenechrome (Orillia, Ont.) – Hideous Appetites |
HOUR II:
Abath – Count The Dead *NEW | Cattle Decapitation – Land Of the Severed Meatus | KMFDM – A Drug Against War | In Memory of Celtic Frost (Tribute album) – Circle of Tyrants | Destruction – Tears Of Blood | Mercyful Fate – Come To The Sabbath | White Chapel – Father Of Lies | Satan – Time To Die | Fear Factory – Genexus | White Wizard – White Wizard | Faith No More – We Care A Lot
I’ve got some great news for all of you! There will be NO Crazy Train Christmas Craptacular this year!
I did one last year and I felt all of the Christmas songs remade in Metal to be just piles of stinky shit. Sure they are Christmas songs and sure it’s Christmas, but those songs suck. They are stupid and only sound good in their standard genre. SO, NO CHRISTMAS SONGS ON THE CRAZY TRAIN… Ok, well maybe one, the hair Metal band ‘Hair Force 1′ does a great ’12 Days of Christmas’ so that’ll be it.
If you have a band or know of a band that should be heard on the Crazy Train, send your or their tracks and information to: musicdirectorATchsrfm.ca! And we’ll git ya on the air.
By playing your music on CHSR it can chart Nationally, so if you think, “Radio is dead” or that it’s a crap medium, YOUR wrong! Hero’s Last Rite, Chaos Theory, Brother are all Atlantic bands that have charted Nationally due to airplay and exposure from CHSR.
Please share this with your friends and fans! By spreading the news, we spread your Metal!

Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition Review
Sleeping dogs gets a high Definition make over on the next gen consoles (PlayStation and Xbox one). Does it hold up as well this time around or should it just make a turn around and go back in time let’s find out.
Story: In this deep amazing story you play as Wei Shen an undercover cop in the sun on yee triads in Hong Kong. Wei Shen gets chosen for this job because of his history with the triads he grew up with. You begin by becoming a foot soldier for Winston Chu a red pole in the sun on yee triads and moving your way up the ranks by showing your loyalty to Winston and your water street gang brothers. Your mission in the story of this game is to bring down the sun on yee triads. While in this game you notice some tension come between you and your triad brothers and your fellow police officers, which you really get to feel like the mentality of what it’s like to be undercover and the stress you go under in the process.
Gameplay: This game is not your just typical third person action game this is a truly unique experience. Not only does this game deliver a punch to the face it gives you a round house kick to the head full of excitement. You use Kung Fu as your main aresenal of weaponry, with some shooting mechanics as well in the game. There are styles you may choose from in this game pertaining to different outfits such as wing chun, drunken boxing and Jeet Kune do. This is an open world game but this is not your typical open world game its crowded and exciting with lots to do. Like racing, gambling, karaoke, fight clubs and chicken fighting (yes that is right chicken fighting) alongside that you can do cop jobs on the side to increase your rank as a cop which has great unlockables. Also your triad ranks help you unlock upgrades as well. When you are done a mission in the game you get a score which you can always do over if you want to increase your score on a certain mission.
Verdict: while this game in my mind is a master piece it’s not all good while playing this game I wish there was more boss battles, gang battles and underground fight clubs. The next gen versions of this game are a bit glitchy with a freezing loading time for a few minutes, random things falling from the sky on fire and some really weird stickies. But for an martial arts cinema buff like myself this game is a dream come true I give this game a 9 out of 10.
Good job United front games and Square Enix
