The Lunchbox Interview: Stacey Russell (Frostival)
Wintertime is time for fun!
Not convinced?
Then you haven’t been paying attention to Frostival! It’s the capital region’s biggest celebration, combining together over 100 events over 4 weekends (and several days of the week) to chase away the wintertime blues and replace them with art, music, theatre, museums, outdoor athletics and cultural celebration.
My guest today is Stacey Russell, who works with Tourism Fredericton to help make Frostival an incredible event. We talk about some of her favourite events, the organization of dozens of events, and some of the do-not-miss events for this season.
Music today:
- We began with JP Hoe with Save You (Here I Am Waiting) from the latest album, Hideaway.
- Another one of the Shivering Songs artists entertained us, with The Weather Station bringing us Way It Is, Way It Could Be from their album Loyalty.
- And the folks who started the Shivering Songs Festival are The Olympic Symphonium, here bringing us Seize The Day from Chance To Fate.

The Lunchbox Interview: Benjamin Dugdale, Robin Goodine (Knots N Prods)
Just about everyone likes a good story — some people want to tell them.
It used to be, though, that if it cost money to make stories, you were probably out of luck. And movies cost money to make.
But what if everyone who would appreciate the story gave a little?
That’s one of the successful motivations behind crowd-funding your film project, which my guests today hope is their avenue to make their story. Benjamin Dugdale and Robin Goodine are students in the UNB Production 3 class, and are embarking on bringing their story to reality with the rest of their class. Knots N Prods is their story and their crowdfunding campaign. We talk about where the story came from, what these students hope to achieve, and how you can help them tell stories. Join the IndieGoGo campaign here!
Today also featured the debut of a new Friday segment on The Lunchbox: The Sports Update, with the Sports Editor of The Brunswickan, Rob Trites. This will be a regular segment, giving you insight and updates on all the sports happening around UNB campus and with the UNB teams. Feedback is appreciated!
Music today:
- We began with a tempting number from one of the Shivering Songs festival performer, Michael Feuerstack, called The Devil.
- We all want things, at least Just A Little Bit, which was not really the point of the song by The Julian Taylor Band.
- Determined to do a project just like the Knobs N Prods folks? Do Carry On, which is good advice from Coeur de Pirate.

The Lunchbox Interview: Escape Logic Games
Do you like puzzles? Do you like playing games?
What about being inside one?
There’s a new company offering a different kind of game experience: Escape Logic Games is opening on January 15, providing Fredericton with its own incarnation of the “escape room” scenario, in which you and your friends have 60 minutes to solve the puzzles, figure out the answer to the problem (such as “who is the murderer?”) and escape!
My guests today are Brad McCann and Kody Belliveau, the co-owners, co-founders and principal workers at Escape Logic Games. We talk about what motivated them to build their escape room, and I tease out a small detail or two about their first offering “The Study” and the second one coming in February, “The Egyptian Tomb”.
Music today:
- To mark the passing of an incredible artist, I played David Bowie’s Look Back In Anger. He is missed.
- Canadians stuck in a room? Why not Warehoser by DedSheppard as the the song?
- Another one of the Shivering Songs artists to end of the show: Jenn Grant, admitting her connection to you with No One’s Gonna Love You (Quite Like I Do).

The Crazy Train Episode #LXXI
Episode #71 was Part II of our ‘Best of 2015′. It was a phenomenal year for Metal on the East Coast. The original idea when I resurrected the Crazy Train was to give exposure to Indie Metal bands from all across our great country. But there’s so much amazing Metal right here in Atlantic Canada it’s hard to not pay attention to it. We do get in some great Metal from across the country, 88 Mile Trip, Adrenechrome, Sanktuary to name a few. But in the end, this year saw incredible albums from Halifax’s Chaos Theory, Enemy Designed, Saint John NB’s No Man’s Throne, Beyond Eternal and right here in Fredericton Brother and several other great bands all released incredible albums. In the day where any musician with the right gear and excellent ear can produce themselves a quality product it kinda really opens the flood gates for all the music that people in the past couldn’t afford to release. In short, in today’s digital medium, nothing can stop Metal!
Here’s the playlist for Episode #71!
Hour I:
Crazy Train – Ozzy|| Born To Kill – Beyond Eternal (Saint John, NB)|| Into the Void – Nihilo Machina (Fredericton, NB)|| The Final Reckoning – Enemy Designed (Halifax, NS)|| Killed By The Cross – Dark Shrine (Halifax, NS)|| Such A Doll – Brother (Fredericton, NB)|| Tranquility of the Neighborhood – Rosewood Annie (Halifax, NS)|| Lockstep – Adrenechrome (Orillia, Ont.)|| Transcendental Inception – Erimha (Montreal, Que)
Hour II:
Sol Invictus – Faith No More|| Lights of White Phosphorous – Blasphenomapher|| End Over End – White Noise Owl|| Messe Noir – Behemoth|| Broken Promises – August Burns Red|| Erase This – Lamb Of God|| Cast The First Stone – SLAYER|| Into the Abyss – Fallen Angels|| Millennium – Stratovarius|| God Was Never On Your Side – Motorhead
Got some guests coming up over the next months. Give aways, if ya’s want ’em.
If you’re in a band or know of a band that should be heard on the Crazy Train, by all means send us your/there music, links etc. to musicdirectorATchsrfm.ca!
Keep it Metal!

The Last of Us Remastered Review
The Last of Us Remastered Review
The Last of us is a 3rd person survival horror game. Brought to you by the studio that did the hit series uncharted. Does this game take a bite out of you? Or does it survive the zombie apocalypse? Let’s find out.
Story: You play as Joel a survivor of the infected for 20 years. Haunted by his past Joel struggles to live life so he smuggles things in to the area he lives in whether it be guns or ration cards. All this changes when Joel is obligated to escort a girl named Ellie to a group called the fire flies across a deserted and infected America.
Gameplay: This is a 3rd person shooter and stealth game supplies are limited in this game. Your best bet in this game is to go stealthy or going hand to hand combat. In this game you are outnumbered the majority of the time so sneaking up behind someone and choking them out is best in this situation .If you get spotted just brawl it out one on one with your enemy as long as there is only one enemy left if you are outnumbered run and hide. When you are sneaking around in this game your adrenaline is pumping. There is nothing like hitting a infected or hunter with a led pipe with scissors going through it or even just choking them out. While sneaking around you pick up things to craft like nail bombs, smoke bombs, shiv’s etc. Along your journey you can pick up extra things like comics, artifacts, upgrade manuals and firefly pendants.
Conclusion: This game is action packed, very emotional within ten minutes you are drawn in to the characters. By the end of the game you can see the relationships that have developed throughout the journey you have taken. You get so attached to these characters you can’t help but love and feel for these characters and it saddens you to say goodbye to them at the end of the game. The scenery in this game is stunning just like in Uncharted Naughty Dog pulls it off again with the graphics and visuals and story. I give this game a 10 out of 10.
The last of us Remastered:10/10
