CHSR-FM 97.9

So, this is our first episode, our introduction to the world. I decided to do a show on privilege, because if I’m going to do a show on all these sociological, political and cultural issues, I think it’s important to do an episode acknowledging my privilege, and setting the stage for all our following episodes.

I apologize for sounding nervous on this one, but it’s my first show, so please cut me some slack, I’ve already completed the second episode, and I hear that I sound much more comfortable. So, with that said…

Welcome to the Truth to Power Hour. We’re going to talk about real issues in an honest way. My name it Joel Green, I’m an old man, new on Campus, learning awesome things, and am looking to share it with you.

We’re going to talk about issues of today, and play music that relates… somehow.

So, on this episode, I’m acknowledging my privilege. So that from this point on, when we’re talking about issues that include the patriarchy, racism, homophobia, whatever, we can acknowledge that anything I say is from the perspective of a Gen X, Straight, White Man.

I’m about to turn 50, just left the military after 20 years, and am back in school, and now I have this radio show.

Let’s learn together. It’ll be awesome.

This episode has the following music.

1. Funky President – James Brown

2. Southern Man – Sylvester and the Hot Band

3. Hymn to Freedom – Oscar Peterson

4. We the People who are Darker than Blue – Curtis Mayfield

5. They Say I’m Different- Bettie Davis

I Hope you enjoy, if you have any critiques, please let me know, and maybe we can address it.

Just remember this, if you get anything out of this episode, it’s the value of empathy and humility.

enjoy,

Joel

Studies have shown that metalheads tend to be happier, calmer, and more intelligent than the average person. So, you’re welcome in advance.

This episode has more riffs than you can pack in your knapsack, and that’s a fact, Jack!

We start out as deep as you can get into Big Shiny Tunes territory as you can get, without actually being on Big Shiny Tunes. Salmonblaster bringing us a beloved tune with the most mid-90’s half speed breakdown you can get. If you were in a band in the 90s, you had a part in one of your songs just like this. Probably 3 or 4!

And we’re just getting started!

From there, we keep on turning up the rock until the rock-o-meter burns out. It’s kind of like this one time my speedometer in my old car stopped working and topped out at 70 km/h no matter how fast I went, and I couldn’t figure out why I was so scared going around every corner when I was still 10 under the speed limit.

And then we start the metal portion of the show.

We’ve got d-beat, we’ve got technical death metal, we’ve got grindcore (bolded for emphasis), we’ve got metallic hardcore, we’ve got metalcore, a touch of deathcore, we’ve got hardic metaldeath, we’ve got deathard quorum, et cetera, et cetera. The moral of the story is that it all sound essentially the same to 90% of people. Not me though! And hopefully not you.

Peace and love, peace and love,

Oh brother, here we go again…. in a good way!

Shawn drops by the show and we hang out in a way that only dudes like us can, with at least one of us in a baseball cap. Which one? Listen to find out!

Nah, I kid, this one is a blast. Shawn and I get all excited and nerd out about all kinds of music, tell weird anecdotes, and have a general laff. Shawn is much better about getting out and about to shows than I am, so I’ve got some learnin’ to do!

Enjoy,

Hi there everyone. This is Testing For Echo Episode 95 on CHSR FM 97.9 in Fredericton and around the world and I am your host Tim Scammell.

This is another very special episode for me. Let’s call it Braydon version 2.

You’ll recall that did the music picks a while ago. A couple of nights ago I was having a writer’s block, or Music block and needed a few good tunes.

I know I have 1000’s of songs at my disposal but it’s always fun getting my crew involved.

I’ll note off the start that much of this episode is a little harder than you’re used to.
