It's on an album called "Buzzbomb," from the usually reliable (for pop fans) Big Deal label. I got the album because I liked "Funky Monkey Baby," but I really didn't care for anything else on there. REALLY?? Wow - it's so funny how different people react to music. Buzzbomb was one of my favorite 1998 releases and I think it's an incredible mix of power pop and rock and roll energy. The songwriting on that CD is absolutely brilliant from beginning to end, with the only weak tune being the live version of Funky Monkey Baby. It's out of place on this CD and interrupts the flow of an otherwise perfect album. I skip over that tune every time and that works great. For some reason, the originals on Buzzbomb click with me perfectly, especially Big Red Catalina and Say I'm Sorry. I'd recommend it highly. If anyone listens to it three times, I can't say how they wouldn't be hooked. I suppose that's what makes the world go 'round...

For the first 6 months or so of "Coffee & Smokes", I got no calls. Now I average 2-3 calls a show. I've had as many as 8 or 9 when the show has run over several times due to one of the rotating hosts on the show which follows mine forgets her turn at the mike. I have several regulars who call every couple of weeks or so, as well as local luminaries who have called up here and there to give me a pat on the back. I often get calls for mainstream stuff that isn't bad but you can hear 1,000,000,000,000 times a day on commercial radio. I've given away a few CDs as well as movie passes. I almost never give away club tickets because when you have a show on Saturday morning, the tix are given away by then, but when they're available, I don't have any problem having at least one listener try to claim them. My guess as to the size of my audience, knowing full well that I'm probably pipe dreaming, I reckon falls somewhere around 125 or so, mebbe 150 tops. While I was in college doing radio in the early 80s, I did an overnight show for several years. Folks who were as drunk as I was would call and try to invite themselves over fairly often. Sometimes I'd put 'em on the air and let 'em ramble. Sometinmes I'd let 'em come over to the studio. I'm surprised I'm still alive. >I sware, the calls I get are either wrong numbers, or > people who want to hear the Beastie Boys. HA! I had a local rock (read: Boston) show at my old station a few years back which was preceeded by a rap/hip-hop show. I constantly got requests for "shout-outs" to varoius folks at "The Point", a nearby housing project. I'd ask if they knew what I was playing at that moment and they couldn't answer me. > Dans le Garage is apparently the station's most > popular radio show and is the 2nd most popular radio show amongst all of I don't know how popular my show is. I imagine it will be one of the most popular at 'MFO when the RealAudio setup finally is hooked up. Coffee 'n' Smokes one of only half a dozen shows out of 75 or so with its own mailbox, so I guess it's kinda popular on its own. > I don't rely on calls, but it is nice when people let you know they > actually LIKE what you play, or give you some encouragement!

Now I average 2-3 calls a show. For the first 2 years, I got a lot of calls and regular listeners would phone in every week. I believe my show has become to specialised. I stopped giving in to requests I don't want to play anymore, like Reverend Horton Heat or Man or Astroman?, etc. I know people listen and still like the show, I think they just don't necessarily know what I play. And since I live in Montréal, the most popular segment of the show is the French beat, but even then, the requests I get are just too obvious. I know people just wanna hear the classics, but I don't play them. Of course tonight, I got requests for Elvis Presley, the band Telephone, Jimmy Hendrix and Green Day! > I like what you play, I listen every week. Thank you!

On keyboard, hit the white key immediately after the two blacks in a row, then go up a major third, then a minor third after that. On a punk song, just try to hold down the fifth string at the 2nd fret without touching the 6th string, and sound both together. Of course an E-minor chord is different. Dan Oh- and on harmonica, blow in holes 1,2,and 3, or 4, 5 and 6, or 7,8 and 9 on an E-harp, or better yet, draw on holes 2, 3 and 4 on an A-harp. ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

Well, Blair *did* mention Neko Case and they were her backup band for a spell, but yeah... Toronto's The Sadies are the kings of country Killin' Songs. Most of their set and their cool album is made up of twangy surf/country/Rock & Roll instrumentals, but when they do sing, their lyrics are pure evil. Usually about guys who poison or gut their lady-friends and either bury them "down in the willows" or just dump 'em in the drink. Too creepy. I'm not a country fan but The Sadies turn my crank. Last time they were here in Ottawa, the audience demanded a ten song encore so they pulled out some cool covers (Teenage Head, Hasil Adkins) and even got Grog up to play organ on a wyld version of Leavin' Here. Not yer usual c&w set list. But anyway, that's just country music. Whew!
