What is CHSR Listening To?

Posted on by Posted in What Is CHSR Listening To?

Program Director, Mark Kilfoil 

EsmerineEnjoying the new album by Esmerine, Lost Voices. I keep stopping whatever I’m doing just to luxuriate in it. Also quite thrilled to discover The Flowers of Hell in our playbox, and have been working my way through their catalog from Aria 51 (the current album) backward. Tremendous!

 

Station Manager, Erin Bond

Eastern magneticsRecently listened to an EP from Toronto band Eastern Magnetics. Fairchild & Blade has this great vintage rock sound with elements of psych rock thrown in, but not in a Monomyth/Cousins way. This is rock music exactly how I like it.

 

Music Director, Chris Waddell

Chaos TheoryChaos Theory‘s We Are Disaster, THE most kick butt album to come out of the Maritime’s since Hero’s Last Rites‘ The Mirrors Face! Crank IT!

 

 

All around swell guy, Roger Jean

SultansOfStringSultans of String has a new album out called Subcontinental Drift. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to these guys. It really brings out a one world music formula that breaks down musical and cultural boundaries.

 

CAFFEEN! playlist for 2015-11-28: “Arbor Territory Choices”

Posted on by Posted in CAFFEEN!

CFN 2015-11-28 coverartCan you see the simile for the metaphors?

If you engage in cutting down a tree, is the axe doing violence?

Does a forest have revenge on its very slow, collective mind?

Do questions now make up everything, when I have no answers?

The Lunchbox Interview: John Mahler (Winter Driving)

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

LunchBoxJohnMahlerWinterDrivingYou know it’s Winter, right?

At least, as far as your car is concerned, you should probably accept the change in seasons. My guest today is John Mahler, columnist and driving expert. He told me all about the things I should know about getting my car ready for winter driving, including tires, heating, and remembering to take it slow. Oh, and he definitely recommends Blizzak Tires.

Music today:

  • It was quite pea soup today, so I had to play The Fog Song by David Bouzouki from the excellent compilation It’s Always Sunny in New Brunswick.
  • In despair, however, I turned to a classic song well redone: the uplifting Cloudbusting, original done by Kate Bush and here reproduced by Matthew Good, with special guest Holly MacNarland.
  • And to keep us feeling good, I ended with Stephen Lewis sharing my thanks to you with Golly Gee Thanks from Life Is A Garden.

Posted on by Posted in CAFFEEN!

CFN 2015-09-19 coverartLife might be like a river..

You may stay in the boat and let the river take you where it will, while you stare in despair at the shore passing by..

You may wrestle against the water and beach the vessel, striding off and leaving the river flowing defiantly behind you..

Or you might lay back and observe the wonder of the stars, content that life will go where it will, but you mind will be free..
