The Crazy Train Episode #XXIII – Crazy Christmas Craptacular Special
Yes, yes, my friends and fiends! The first Crazy Train – Christmas Crazy Craptacular Special!
Yes, Anne Murray’s Christmas Carol plays for about .30seconds before The Crazy Train starts and no actual records were harmed in the creation of this episode….
In the first hour of the show, Steve ‘The Elf-man’ Dunnett and I (Chris ‘The Satan Claus’ Waddell), took a look back on some of our favorite Canadian Indie Metal from across Canada that we played in 2014. Some Hero’s Last Rite, Kickin’ Krotch, Dischord, Iron Kingdom, SpineSplitter and much more.
In hour 2 of the show, we dedicated this second hour to Christmas carols as played by classic Metal hero’s, Twisted Sister, Lemmy, Geoff Tate, Vinny Apice, Bad Religion, Tim ‘The Ripper’ Owens and again, so much more! Ending the night off with a not very festive, but I felt worthy, ‘Hail The Apocalypse’ by Aavatar! Enjoy this show! And make sure to tune in next week for our final look back at the abysmal year that was 2014! Merry Christmas to you all from both Steve and I, as well as from the staff and members of CHSR-FM!

The Lunchbox 2014-12-15: Cat Herding Day
Sometimes it feels like there are a million more things to do every day. Maybe it’s social media, maybe it’s the weather, maybe it’s just a way of modern life.
Whatever it is, it can feel like herding cats: an impossible task that you just do anyway, because you have to. Today’s a day to celebrate those that need to do it, day in and day out.
It’s also a Monday, which for many is an uphill climb to begin with…
We also celebrate one of the few symbols that all Canadians seem to agree with (even if they didn’t at the time): the modern Canadian flag.
Music today:
- Close Talker described it perfectly: Slow Weather, from their album Flux.
- And Hey Rosetta! gave us a vision behind the monitor with Neon Beyond from their album Second Sight.

The world is covered in water. Deep water.
What lies beneath? We think we know, but do we, really?
What if you saw something, a fleeting glimpse, blurry, indistinct, huge, inexplicably menacing, unexplainable?
What if the official story didn’t ring true for you?
- Moya by Godspeed You Black Emperor! from the album Slow Riot For New Zero Kanada.
- Estuarine by Loscil from the album Endless Falls.
- Silent Films by Mid Atlantic from the album The Great War.

The Crazy Train Episode #XXII
Episode 22! Steve ‘The Buzz Man” Dunnett was off sick for this show, leaving me to conduct the train solo!
We had some great tunes from Hero’s Last Rite, Super Destroyer, Greber, Hair Force 1 and much more
Hour II of the show had some requests including Led Zep, Death and Fozzy, whom I’d never really listened before, but really enjoyed the track, who knew a WWE Wrestler’s Metal band would be that good?
Next weekend is our Crazy Christmas Craptacular! Make sure you tune in to hear some of your LEAST favorite Christmas carols slashed, cut and redone in a very Merry Metal fashion! The first hour will be our regular fare of Indie Metal from across our Great Nation!

The Lunchbox Interview: Kelsey & Nicole of the UNB/STU Swing Dance Club
What’s it take for you to get up and really move?
Are you looking for an exercise which is really just a fun activity?
Swing dance is amazing. It’s energetic, fun and social. It’s a gas, man, a real jive mood. I had the chance to speak to Kelsey and Nicole, two of the members of the UNB/STU Swing Dance Club. First off, don’t be fooled: the Club is open to all people in the community, not just students. And second: it’s not about what you already know how to do, as much as you being willing to give it a whirl.
We talk about the dancing, the fun, how to jump in and the January Jive Swing Dance Masquerade event coming up in the new year.
