I know this is not usually when I send an e-mail regarding a New Show Update but I felt it necessary to share with you all that this Friday (if you aren’t aware of it already) we will be having a Waterloo/London (or Uxbridge/Waterdown) based band known as Air Marshal Landing coming into the station to do an interview and now AN ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE of a few of their songs live-to-air on New Rock Edge. Be sure to tune in to these guys when they do come on this weeks coming episode. These guys write amazing songs and are even stellar live so make sure to check them online through:

www.radiolaurier.com

and if you like what you hear than make sure to go to Maxwell’s Music House at around 9pm this Friday to check out Red Roses Black, We Are The Take, and of course Air Marshal Landing. Here’s their myspace if you want to check out some more of their songs:

And my advice to you guys: Go see Alice in Wonderland, it’s awesome.
Cheers till next time!

Today on my show I asked whether you think Lil’ Wayne is the great free styler he claims to be. I’ve seen him claim that he never writes anything down, and that he free styles many of the tracks that go right on his albums. Joining the ranks of other rap legends like biggie. But I’ve also heard rumours that he gets other rappers on young money to write for him. Someone even told me that drake wrote a lot of the rhymes on ‘tha charter 3′. What do you guys think?

Great job on tuning in on Friday! We had a lot of people respond positively to the show and I couldn’t have done it without you. Again, this past version of the show was about bands who have broken up and have fallen off the radar and possibly never to be heard of again. There was also a double-shot for most of the artists played in the show but here’s the playlist if you all want to check out the songs and bands yourselves!

1. Moist – Push
2. Moist – Resurrection
3. Headstones – Tweeter And The Monkey Man
4. Headstones – Reframed (Every Single Failure)
5. Spineshank – Beginning Of The End
6. Spineshank – New Disease
7. Pop Will Eat Itself – Ich Bin Ein Auslander
8. Kyuss – Gardenia
9. Treble Charger – Brand New Low
10. XTC – Dear God
11. The Tea Party – Temptation
12. The Tea Party – Heaven Coming Down
13. Death From Above 1979 – Romantic Rights
14. Death From Above 1979 – Blood On Our Hands
15. Audioslave – Be Yourself
16. Audioslave – Revelations
17. Live – Lightning Crashes

Now, this episode focused on bands that broke up and were basically never heard again. But what about bands who were big at one point of their careers but now have faded away however they are still together? You may call them one-hit wonders but at the same time they’re kinda not as well. You’ll see what I mean when you tune into next week’s episode “Resurrected & Reborn Part 2: The Invisible Cloak of Forgotten Legends”

P.S. Due to the highly likely event of people pronouncing my DJ name (DJ hSaY) wrong I have decided to finally change it into something more suitable to the show. So please welcome my new DJ name: DJ RamRock. More on the origins of that name in the future because this blog post has gone on long enough. Catch you guys next week!

Highlights from last night include The Band, George Clooney, Serena Ryder, and Moxy Fruvous.

I also expressed my disappointment in Chris Cuthbert’s play by play on the Sidney Crosby gold medal winning goal. Here’s Foster Hewitt calling Paul Henderson’s Summit Series winner, and Dan Kelly in 1987 with Mario’s goal during the Canada Cup. I like Chris Cuthbert as a play by play man, but you’ve got to be on the ball, because you only get one chance. I suppose it was a good game anyways. For good measure, take a look at Rick Mercer’s twitter feed to get a sense of how the game went for most Canadian fans.

Last night’s playlist is posted on the Facebook group. Next week’s mix continues the instrumental theme and is dedicated to the instrument we all took lessons on when we were kids and then stopped because it wasn’t fun and now wish we could play again (…or is that just me?). It is, of course, the piano. And to wet your whistle, I offer up my top three piano geniuses of all time: Victor Borge, this guy, and Victor Borge.

Have a great weekend, I’ll talk to you next Thursday at 9pm.

Tonight will kick off a two part show showing bands who have seemed to have once held a high point in their music career with a few breakthrough songs but now they are currently under-appreciated and overlooked, especially in today’s music genre. By giving them some resurfacing the next two episodes will “resurrect” these artists and help give them some more appreciation because you know what, they totally deserve it!

Judging by the title of this episode you might need some clarification as to what exactly this episode is all about. Tonight’s episode is going to focus on bands who have broken up (hence dismantled) but have seemed to have been forgotten as well. Now, I’m not talking about bands like Nirvana, The Smiths, or Soundgarden (who got back together in January 2010…so they don’t count anymore but you catch my drift) but bands who have seemed to actually be forgotten. Such examples that you will be hearing tonight includes:

-Death From Above 1979
-Moist
-The Tea Party
-Kyuss
-Live

On that same note, because we are “resurrecting” and “re-birthing” these artists you will hear a double-shot of songs from most of the artists that will be played on this show. So make sure to tune in tonight on Radio Laurier via: (www.radiolaurier.com) from 6-8pm to hear these once great but now almost forgotten artists in Part 1 of Resurrected & Reborn!

Hope you all enjoyed your reading weeks.

The sixth show, was the CASBY week, Canadian Artists Selected By You!  A Show dedicated to the radio station “The Edge” and their yearly music awards.  We saw artists like Men Without Hats (FINALLY!), Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker (Check them out, and if you have a chance to see them live DO IT, you won’t regret it!  and bands like Martha and the Muffins too!

The seventh show this week was the start of something somewhat different, instead of genre/theme based shows we switched over to a more regional approach to the show.  This week we focused on the prairie provinces, Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan.  We heard bands like Bachman Turner Overdrive, Our Mercury, and a band called Birds are dinosaurs, check them out, instrumental progressive, its really cool!
