Daewon-o-rama! Set List for January 31, 2008

Howdy y'all - thanks for tuning in this morning. Sorry I wasn't as ranty as normal - I'm trying to fend off a virus, and have a bit of a scratchy throat. It'll be a friggin miracle if i make it through this year without getting sick (touch wood).

Here is a link to some Daewon Song videos on the DVS shoes website (check the first hand party video - that's the one that's set to the kinks' tune i played today - the echo commercial and the thrasher soty thing are also cool). Here's another cool Daweon link, with everything you never wanted to know about the guy. Here's a link to a cool band from Culver City, where Daewon grew up. This is getting a little like that old BBC show, connections.

Here's what you heard today if you tuned in:

1. when winter comes - rheostatics
2. picture book - the kinks
3. broke, bored, & sober - oh! the pretty things (playing at broken city tonight!)
4. a it mek - greg milka crowe*
5. mulata descolora - macaco*
6. miss you - the dynamics*
7. alir pukai - alir pukai stringband feat. bob brozman
8. curukurombo - curumin
9. augusta, angelica, & consolacao - tom ze
10. surya - zaman8 & hafez modir
11. brittania rules the waves - chris gheran*
12. fire house - beija flor*
13. yoyo bye bye - dump vs. why?*
14. taking turns - ruckus roboticus vs. skratchmatik*
15. karma hunters - pinker tones vs. mexican institute of sound*
16. t.i.b.w.f. - the budos band vs. hank shocklee*
17. mind your own business - delta5*
18. now a daze - shad*
19. on one/one - g+d*
20. saskatoon - dj vadim feat. young blood brass band*
21. i'll fly away - blind boys of alabama feat. the hot 8 brass band*

That's it for this week - thanks to everyone who tuned in. Lock on to cjsw 90.9 fm through the month of february for great programming to honour black history month. Also, make sure you tune into the soap box derby on valentine's day - apart from dusting off the eight-track, spritzing on a little of the ol' aqua-velva, turning on the lava lamp, and getting all isaac-hayes-y with y'all, I'll be joined by Mishka Lysack, a person in your neighbourhood who is working to engage calgarians in some real meaningful debate about climate change and climate change policy. Fire me an email if there's something you think Mishka and I should talk about.

Take care of yourselves, stay warm, and don't forget to tune in for Mark's show next week.

PEACE,
g

Hi - and welcome to the infobahn home of the soapbox derby radio show. Check out www.cjsw.com for lots of information about the best damn campus and community radio station in the world.

This show is hosted by me (greg chernoff) and my pal mark shields, and takes the place of the much-loved and dearly-departed airport bison radio.

The show name encompasses two of my favourite pastimes: going fast down hills on rickety machines, and speaking my mind. If you want to engage in the cultural debate locally and globally, hear some good (i think) tunes and maybe a funny story or two (i've been known to ramble a bit), and while away the morning (or evening, or whatever time it is where you are) at a pretty agreeable pace, then i humbly suggest that you make a habit of tuning in every thursday.

Drop us a line if there's anything you'd like to contribute to the free speech flotilla that is - SOAP BOX DERBY! (Instructions for contacting us are over there --->)

PEACE,
g
