I'm currently trying to figure out a way to upload podcasts/MP3 streams online, possibly on iTunes, so the podcasts will be a lot easier to find and access.
This Jumbalaya includes a lot of local talent, including some community radio staff and volunteers playing in bands! They include the CiTR music director Sarah Cordingley drumming for Ace Martens, CJSF's very own Arts & Entertainment coordinator Jamie Cessford drumming for Did You Die, and CJSF volunteer and host of world music show Wandering Rhythms Nick Lagasse playing with Mngwa.
(CiTR 101.9FM, just in case you didn't know, is UBC's campus radio station. CJSF 90.1FM is based at SFU, so that makes us sister stations! :D )
Wandering Rhythms is on Mondays 12-2pm btw. Sorry I messed that little info up...
I've also played songs I knew a lot of fellow CJSF volunteers would like, including tunes by A/B Trio, Humans, Ibeyi, BadBadNotGood & Ghostface Killah, and Purity Ring.
I also showcased a new song by NEEDS, who has a self-titled LP coming out in May. I saw them at the concert I reviewed on March 3, along with Ontario rockers the Dirty Nil and locals BRASS. They had just gotten back from SXSW - that must have been exciting!
The new LP looks very intriguing too. I'm so glad I got to see them live!!
Next week I'll showcase my personal playlist picks as a reviewer. Yep, I'm reviewing music to be added to the playlist - it's so much fun! Also, there's nothing like getting my hands on advance copies of CDs to potentially put on rotation on the CJSF airwaves. In other words, sometimes we get first listens before it's officially out! ;)
