What is CHSR Listening To?

Posted on 2016-02-11 by Bondo Posted in What Is CHSR Listening To?

Rosewood GrooveRoger Jean, Swell Guy – I’ve been listening to Rosewood Groove quite a bit lately. Their debut self-titled EP just came out and these young performers are just as good as anyone currently in the Fredericton music scene and they are only going to get better. They have a wonderful unique flavor of mandolin infused roots music and their lyrics are fabulous as well.

 

 

minotaursErin Bond, Station Manager – A few albums I’ve been into lately are Basia Bulat‘s newest record Good Advice, and Minotaur‘s Weird Waves. Good Advice is a great pop album, a little different from the folky music I’ve usually associated her to, and Weird Waves is such a fun jam-band kind of record, I was groovin’ and boppin’ the entire time listening to it!

 

 

BarkmarketChris Waddell, Music Director – I’ve been listening to DJ Keoki and Barkmarket, one of my all time favourite bands from the 1990’s, and Texas is the Reason… Both Barkmarket and Texas Is The Reason are no longer together. But some of the best Alt-Rock music ever created IMO.

 

 

 

rehumanizerMark Kilfoil, Program Director – Just picked up some new (to me!) albums, so I’ve been listening to the latest prog-rock/electronic Maserati album Rehumanizer — good, but I like the previous albums better — a couple of minimal, moody industrial/jazzy mood soundtrack-like albums from Blackfilm (the self-titled release and a release with Eraldo Bernocchi called “Along The Corridors”) — creepy, atmospheric, inspiring horror visions. And I’ve had the chance to listen to David Bowie‘s last testament, Black Star, a couple of times — talk about haunting and beautiful!

The Lunchbox Interview: James Jordon (The War Amps)

Posted on 2016-02-09 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

LunchBox-WarAmps2016Have you got your tags on your keys?

For as long as I can remember, little keytags have appeared in the mail, and it was important to attach them to my keys, “just in case”. I’ve always feared losing my keys, and knowing that someone has my back was reassuring.

But.. I never really knew much about them. I knew, vaguely, that it was somehow connected to the War Amps. I suspect that I’m not alone in that ignorance. My guest today helped to explain it. James Jordan works with The War Amps and is, himself, a recipient of the program since just a baby. He tells me of the history of The War Amps, the brilliant creation of the key tag program, the impact and need for the support provided by The War Amps, and some of the stories of people whose keys have been found through the program.

So remember: when the keytags show up in the mail: put them on your keys right away! (It makes a good companion to our own Friends of CHSR Discount Card, too!)

Music today:

  • I couldn’t resist the synchronicity of the song title (O Snow) and the beauty of the sound from Trent Severn (from the album Trillium).
  • And following a rant about climate change (and its under-representation in political debate), I kinda do a mic drop with The Motorleague‘s A Little Too Obvious, from their latest album Holding Patterns.

The Crazy Train Episode #LXXV

Posted on 2016-02-08 by Chris Waddell Posted in The Crazy Train

newCTlogo_03012015Episode # 75 – In HOUR I, ‘The Buzz Man’ and I had a visit from Eric Chase of ‘Civil Defence’ on the show to talk about their latest recording session with Underground Alliance’s Jake Duffie. We played two brand new tracks from ‘Civil Defence’ and had a great chat. The show also featured the first part of an interview that Johnny James ‘Dio’ did with members of ‘Hero’s Last Rite’, Saint John NB’s ‘No Man’s Throne’ and from Halifax, members of ‘Chaos Theory’. The second half of the interview will be played on this upcoming weekend’s Episode #76. We took time to pay tribute to three of the bands nominated for this years ECMA in the ‘Loud’ recording category. So we just want to congratulate once more, Moncton’s ‘Shades of Sorrow’, Halifax’s ‘Dumpster Mummy’ and ‘Chaos Theory’. Best of luck to all the bands! It’s just too bad they all can’t win!

In Hour II, we had a Global Metal from (list will be coming up soon)

 

If you have a band or know of a Metal/Hard Rock band that should be getting airplay on the Crazy Train. Or you have an upcoming gig, by all means, send us an email to: musicdirectorATchsrfm.ca and we’ll git ya on!

The Lunchbox Interview: Melanie Madore (Earthbound Living)

Posted on 2016-02-05 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

LunchBox-EarthboundLivingThere are a lot of products that are local, natural and good for you — but they’re all over the place!

Wouldn’t it be good to find a one-stop place to find all these products, especially if you knew that a lot of them were made right here in the province?

My guest today is Melanie Madore from the new web-based good-living store called Earthbound Living.  They opened up in November of last year to offer a focused way to find great natural, eco-friendly, upcycled, recycled and otherwise good-for-you products from beard oil to baby cream, clothing to handmade cutting boards.

Music today:

  • On the day of a growing snowstorm, let’s think about the warm weather we just had, and will have.. We heard Come Spring by Keegan Dobbelsteyn by the album of the same name.
  • Because the idea of responsibility for earthly stewardship and recycling are on my mind, we heard Reap What You Sew by Brother Neil from Bonfire Confessions.
  • And to wish you the best for the weekend, we heard Reversing Falls from their new album 2: Waste Some Time.

The Lunchbox Interview: Len Falkenstein, Brittany Long & Jessie Roy on “Age of Arousal”

Posted on 2016-02-03 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

LunchBox-AgeOfArousalTheatre is in the realm of “collective illusion”: the walls of the room dissolve, the stage vanishes, the playwright whisks the audience away to another place and another time, and the actors and actresses transform to new people — or sometimes, old people.

My guests today are Len Falkenstein (playwright, director, theatre guru, as well as Director of Drama at UNB), Brittany Long (theatre student, actress) and Jessie Roy (theatre student, seamstress and actress). Theatre UNB is doing a performance of Age of Arousal by Canadian playwright Linda Griffiths, so we chat about becoming older women, creating the costumes of the Victorian Era, and how typewriters can be sexy. Listen for the sneak peak at one of the gin-inspired moments of the play!

The Lunchbox Interview: Ali Husseini, Researcher at IBME

Posted on 2016-02-03 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

LunchBoxIBMEThere are two prominent images of artificial limbs: one, the pincer claw, is barely above the classic pirate hook; the other, the fully articulated cyber-mechanical arm, such as what the Terminator carries under his fake skin.

The truth is somewhere in between..

I spoke with Ali Husseini, a research assistant at the Atlantic Clinic for Upper Limb Prosthetics at the Institute for Biomedical Engineering from UNB Fredericton. We talked about the reality of prosthetics, the great role the clinic plays at both the local and national level, and the kind of inter-disciplinary research that goes on at the Institute.

(The Institute is always looking for volunteers to help with studies — both those who are in need or use prosthetics as well as those with normal limb operation — to help better understand how the human body moves. Listen for calls for research looking for assistance on The Lunchbox.)

The Lunchbox Interview: Ryan Griffith on “Returning Fire”

Posted on 2016-02-02 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

LunchBox-ReturningFireTNBTheatre is communication.

Texting is communication.

Can you combine the two?

The answer is clearly a yes, given the new production coming out this week. Returning Fire is a collaboration between Theatre New Brunswick and Next Folding Theatre Company. In this play, the first chapter is entirely communicated through text messages — on which the you, the audience, eavesdrops over the course of a few hours. In the end, you meet the characters in person, in a real place, in real life. The play was written by today’s guest, Ryan Griffith. Join us as we talk communication, theatre, and disembodied characters.

Music today:

  • Empress Of tells all about snow of a different form: Water, Water, taken from the album Me.
  • You may have yours soon, but It’s My Turn Now (so says Tommy Green Jr).
  • Apropros of nothing (and everything), it’s Old Man Leudecke telling us of The Girl In The Pearl Earring (found on his most recent album, Domestic Eccentric).
