A highlight of happenings happening in the Kimberley/Cranbrook area for the month of May — which may just be the final week/month of EH?! I send out, okay?
Episode 200 of The Mix Tape Radio Show features 8 gems shuffled out of the ongoing HI54 Mix CD ‘BACKYARD BBQ - ft. Three Dog Night, Dusty Springfield, Alton Ellis, War + a bunch more bbq-flavoured headphone goodness.
An ongoing 95-track playlist of music/artists coming out of the The East AND West Kootenays (so… Kimberley, Cranbrook, Nelson, Kaslo, Revelstoke, Golden, Castlegar, Trail, Fernie, Rossland, Creston and the etc area).
The Buddha’s ancient advice for becoming an enlightened being (aka: becoming a kind, compassionate, mindful, wise, non-attached & content person) seems to be designed around doing the personal work needed to start helping dismantle the exploitive capitalist system currently destroying our planet. Which feels timelessly timely, no?
I started a weekly Substack newsletter called THE WEEKLY EH?! to HIGHlight FIVE things FOR the current week in the highway 95/a area where I blahg from + 4 other things of Some Locals’ Interests!
Episode 102 opens with Open Mike Eagle trying to find the signal & before things close out with some breathing advice, you’ll hear: Elvis in the freezer, a Wilco cover, Racecar Circling into a Cycle and a bunch more musical niceness.
If, like me, you happen to live in the charming little mountain town of Kimberley, British Columbia, the hot local topic lately has been the proposed ‘Marysville McDonalds’ — SO — not only does this post gather some extra info/context in one place, but City Councillor Sue Cairns also drops by for an informative 5-question Q&A!
Here's the 6th instalment of the Mixcloud series where I go back to the iTunes organizational system I had setup when I used to run a 24/7 internet radio station… and then I shuffle up a selection of 'Mix Tape Radio approved' tunes and put together an 18-track HI54 Mixed CD.
Because, like, WTF even is a music blahg, amirite? ESPECIALLY if they stop accepting music submissions.
MIX TAPE RADIO EPS 052 kicks off with some loveliness from Sufjan, and before you get to the Benjamin Booker bookend, you'll hear tracks from Houndmouth, Dear Sister, Jon Mckiel, Dumbo Gets Mad, The Cave Singers and a whole bunch more.
