Please Explain Toronto To Me

Episode 2 contains the following (in no particular order): Coors Banquet, break dancing for kids, Rainbow War, swearing, Michael Jackson. 

Plus, it contains my guest Charly Hustle. He just came back from being the Canadian rep at Red Bull Thr3estyle World Championships in Tokyo. He's kind of a big deal. He's one of those DJ's who fits well into a multi-genre lineup, and a multi-genre competition, because that's his whole thing. Think Girl Talk with less showing off. Somehow we didn't talk about Prince (his actual favourite artist) but we do touch on many other things, enough that there's probably something for all or most in here. Plus, he's super nice to his Mom. Gotta love that. 

Our maiden voyage! Here's hoping the sailing stays smooth and the waters remain at a satisfactory level of un-choppiness. 

Craig Silliphant writes about music (and more) for Planet S Magazine. He runs an entertainment forum called The Feedback Society. He's published a book of writings on the Saskatoon music scene entitled Exile Off Main Street. He's a Polaris Prize jurist. He frequently can be heard reviewing movies on CKOM and CFCR. And (and!) he's the creative director at Thoughtlab Media. The guy absorbs a lot of pop culture. He's also an experienced interviewer, so we figured he'd be a good guy to talk to right off the hop.
