Friday Sunrise with Mark Ferraby and High Society live along with Jason Pawlett in Toronto with an Interview with The Mark Inside. Check it out!

This show was to support the fundraiser for the Galiano Conservancy Association so we had Marley Daemon playing LIVE! on the show plus Tamara Nile calling in. Some of the best folk artists played that night at the Waldorf. MLA Spencer Chandra Herbert was there speaking and besides CiTR, CJSF CIVIL radio and Shaw TV were there among other musicians and friends.

We started the show with Silvania from their fourth album Juniperfin, it goes back to building atmospheres and creating images out from sound textures: industrial soundscapes, ambient, a present for the sensibility, as a walk among the clouds. Always a step ahead of their time. We heard Aldrin

This weeks episode of Friday Sunrise with psychedelic Toronto Tracks from; Anagram, Holy Mount and Quest For Fire.

Anagram – Quote from Eye Magazine, “Maybe my renewed infatuation with The Jesus Lizard has induced a taste for cantankerous-sounding singers, but even when you get past Anagram’s Matt Mason ranting about how “there’s too many people” and “they’re all just cattle and you’re the black sheep” on the band’s long-overdue third album Majewski, you’re still left with a relentlessly swinging post-punk assault”

This week’s episode of Friday sunrise featuring Toronto Tracks from The Ultimatemost High and The Mark Inside who have just released their new EP, “False Flag.”

This is going to be my third year of doing this. The first year I did an hour of noize like Merzbow, Naked City, Keiji haino, Death Ambient, stuff like that combined with ultraed and Throbbing Gristle. I read some poetry, dark poetry, I played three \Cds at the same time, it was maniac and insane. The second year I did two hours and I repeated the show of the year before but added some Le Mystere des le Voix Bulgare and sosme Rey Trueno from mexico, some Ozomatli and Jorge Reyes, some crazy Mexican. It was two hoirs of madness. Those shows you can still find them on www.citr.ca go to my podcasts and look for the Radio Art episodes. This year I am going to do it again, go wild with noize, this year I am going to put exclusively SPANISH AND LATIN NOIZE so expect top experimental, VERY RARE AND VERY WEIRD some of it has never been played on the airwaves.

Some say that God was born out of the ejaculation of another god, a being that was more god or “goder” than him. That was the Big Bang explained by some wako porno creationists. There are other wacos that believe the Earth is just like 20,000 or so years old. That just corroborates the theory of evolution and demonstrates that the human brain is not very evolved yet, but will it be enough time to perfection our computer inside our skulls? The believers of the “holy” book now are afraid because the birds fell from the sky and the fish died in the ocean. Apolcalyptic times my friends. Destruction. We started the show with garage pre punk band from 65 We also played some of the best bands of 2010 from Vancouver according to this website.

This show was dedicated to the metal scene as we had Sinister Black as out special guests saying goodbye to the old year with a bang! The list pretty much says it all. The members of Sinister Black include Wayne Powell on the vocals and guitar, Gordzilla on the bass and Ron Pistell on the drums. These guys are very energetic and their style is not so much metal, it is a hybrid cross between punk and heavy rock, but you can also hear Sonic Youth as an influence, the result of the band is loud, fast and furious music.
Don’t forget that The Morning After Show is broadcasted LIVE every Tuesday at 11:30 AM PT at 101.9 FM in Vancouver or you can listen to it on line at www.citr.ca

we had an anti christmas show today because we are against consumerism, don’t buy love this Christmas and if you do, support local businesses, avoid corporations and malls, support social causes, don’t make the rich richer, help the poor. Don’t think that Jesus is coming to save you, we need to save ourselves. So that being said we played some cover songs by artists like Leonard Cohen, Stevie Wonder and also the atheist song by XTC Dear God, a classic. We also played some Brown Christmas by El Vez, the Mexican Elvis Presley. More weird music, we have some phsychedelic music from Turkey, Bolivia, and Peru from the 60s and 70s. Awesome. We also had Jay Beck as a special guest. Jay is a multi/instrumentalist from Vancouver who has played in different bands, he played a couple of LIVE songs. Catch him playing on the 30th at Nyalas on Main street.

We started the show with a band called Cougar from the UK and the De Lorean when they were way cooler with the song DeFunked, then we played the Obits from their Cd I blame you. We had Dan and John from the Executives, they have a CD called a New Form of a Social Sins. “When the Pope came with new forms of social sins, there were not sins before but now they are, so I think it sound cleaver so we stole it from the Pope” said John, the singer of the band. Among their influences are the Stone Temple Pilots, Pantera, Alice Cooper to Bach, Kate Bush among others.

The show was really good. We started with Foals and their song Spanish Sahara, a masterpiece. Then Crocodiles, one of my new favourite bands with Mirrors, then Reverberation covering Silver Apples. Trippy.

We had Henry talking about his project. The Nightcrawlers happen to be amazing musicians, including Zachary and Tom from the Zolas, Andy and Ken from We Are the City and also Peter from Said the Whale. Henry himself used to play guitar with Bend Sinister. They release the album 100 Blows.

I interviewed Emily Menzies of the employees on The Morning After Show where I played a lot of green songs including Back To The Planet which has been a British sensation in the 90s, also we played Arcade Fire, Like Animals Again, John Pippus, The Cure, Christina Martin, Nadia Von Hahm, ThePack AD among other local stars. Listen to the podcast and the complete interview with Emily who talks about all the great programs that are happening right now in Galiano island. Some of these practices could be examples to follow and solutions to some of the problems humanity is facing due to its massive consumption and waste.

Since then hundreds of bands have passed through the show playing LIVE! on CDs, on line. Mainly the bands are Canadian and most of them from Vancouver. But the show has played bands from every country in the world including Martinica, Bhutan, Bulgaria, Palestina, Afghanistan, and every Latin American country.

The CD has a couple of gems like Shopping Cart Joe, “I invented that song, just trying to put a face to the problem of homelessness, humanizing a very real problem in our city” said John. Legalize it that talks about the dangers of the prohibition of drugs
