This morning, I delayed an appointment because The Debaters was on the radio…read more SO giddy was I, that I sent a quick apology to my 11:30, hunkered down into my parked car, and spent a half hour voluntarily huddled on the side of the road, giggling over a coffee. And in that moment of pure radio gluttony, I knew CBC would be my #200. I'm a bonafide CBC radio fangirl. I know, I know... it's a hip and glamourous declaration indeed, but it's true. Maybe it was eight straight hours on every road trip out to Alberta; or the excitement of seeing those blue highway signs after 100km of no reception... or the summer that my cd player stopped working and I decided I was too "hip" for top 40's, instead hunkering down to the Q and As It Happens in traffic...somewhere along the lines, CBC radio one became less of a creature comfort or nostalgic outlet and more of a current obsession. Now on any given day, i'll check in to see what's what in Canadiana. As It Happens, The Q, The Debaters - all staples in my CBC fan book. But I suppose the thing I appreciate the most is the one-offs you stumble upon. Sure, sometimes there are dud programs... like the ones with the flowery poetry and the very enthusiastic someone manning a musical triangle... but often, i'll stumble upon a total gem. It might be a great yarn of a story, or something that reminds me of home; maybe i'll recognize someone, or stumble upon a local artist I hadn't heard of; sometimes it's Steward Maclean telling Dave Cooks The Turkey in the middle of the summer... the point is that it's a smorgasborg of art, culture and stories that I wouldn't otherwise seek out, but am better off for having heard them. And with world news on the hour and local every half, you can hear a grand yarn, catch up on the world, check up on what's down the street and learn how to be debt free in 60 minutes. Not too bad eh? So CBC radio, I tip my hat to you in the most enthusiastic of fashions - thank you for not changing anything about your programming long enough for me to reach an age where I finally appreciate it.

Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Beyonce, Britney Spears and Kevin Rudolf f/ Lil Wayne are the current "Top 5" on their playlist and Miss Spears features twice in their Top 10. I do have to give props to the staff member who has to decide what's going to make "the worst of Kid Carson" clips. They have a LOT of bad commentary to review.

Apparently this station doesn't play music. 2:20 Finally some songs: David Crosby - Long Time It's been a really long time since I've heard this song. Pretty cool. April Wine - Roller Pretty standard classic rock, kind of dated. Journey - Don't Stop Believin' A song that almost everyone on this planet knows, but surprisingly don't know who sings it. Steve Perry is a great frontman. I once saw a 12 year old boy belt out this song at Talent Time, it was amazing. Odds - It Falls Apart Local boys, which obviously is the obligatory CanCon. Kind of stretching the classic rock boundaries. 2:38 Back to advertising. I'm going to have to stop, the ads are hurting my ears.

Ever since the Harper government got rid of the late night new music/alternative programming like…read more'Brave New Waves', and replaced it with bland fare with no hosts, and axed Jurgen Goth's Disc Drive in the afternoons, and replaced it with programming that sounds like a dull adult contemporary station, it just isn't what it used to be. The AM side in the afternoon with Stephen Quinn is preferable to me. I went online to BBC 6 Music after the death of Brave New Waves. It reminds me of what the indie/alternative music programming used to be like on CBC Radio 2, with live bands in to play and the on-air people programming their own music.

K'naan - Take a Minute Never heard this song before. I hope it's the last. David Guetta, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne - I Can Only Imagine I can only imagine how these 3 dudes are laughing all the way to the bank. Already 3 songs in and there's commercials. Not different than other stations I've reviewed so far. Nicky Minaj - Pound the Alarm Actually is not a bad song. A real Republic dance floor burner. Although I have no wish to listen to this again. Kanye West - Stronger Relies heavily on Daft Punk's "Harder, Faster, Stronger". It's a strange choice because most of the time, hip hop artists will use samples from hidden gems. Daft Punk is not a hidden gem. Mia Martina and Adrian Sina - Go Crazy Not a completely annoying song, but pretty boring basic dance floor number. I see a pattern of three here. I wonder if there's actually someone programming these songs, or if it's just done by a computer. The on air host came back to talk a bit about nothing really. Not really sure what her purpose is, but they went back to music which is different than other stations have. Maroon 5 - One More Night These guys were on the soft rock station too. I don't really understand. This song is by far the worst one played. Dragonette - Live in this City I was wondering when the CanCon content was going to come out. It has hampered radio stations for years, and continues to ruin Canadian artists, but I feel some are catching on to realize they can be that niche Canadian artist that gets play on Canadian radio. This song is incredibly plain and boring. Fun - Some Nights I guess this is as "alternative" as Sonic gets. I would not have recognized any of these songs, but their website actually had live updating of the songs that were playing, even with with tabs so you could buy and download the song. I believe that Sonic is a group that has stations across Canada. It seems like a well run station with a web site that is easily navigatable, if you're into any of the music.

They repeat many of their CanCon songs too often. Otherwise the variety is good. Don't be fooled by the "playing what we want" mantra by the way. You'll rarely hear anything on the station that hasn't been a top 10 hit either in Canada, US or both. There's quirky songs, to be sure, but all hits. An on-air presence during the PM rush hour would be nice, but hey, if you want chit chat this isn't the station for you. This the the station for you if you like lots of music.

On a weekly basis, we get to hear Randy sap the excitement and enthusiasm out of beloved rock classics with just a couple of tired strums from his guitar and a phoning-it-in vocal. But there's also a history lesson involved. Really, Randy? The Beatles were influenced by Motown? What other trenchant insights into the world of classic rock do you have? Oh, the fact that "Big Old Jet Airliner" by Steve Miller sounds like "Taking Care of Business?" FASCINATIN....zzzzzzz. I'm being nice and giving it another star because sometimes golden oldies beat the hell out of what passes for radio in our fair city of Toronto. But, this is the aural equivalent of the willies.

Back in Randy Bachman's youth, if you wanted to play an electric guitar, you had to grow, fell, and mill the tree. That's why, 30-odd years later, Seattle grunge rockers dressed like early Canadian coureurs du bois. This was a knowing tribute to pathfinders like Randy. Then, if you wanted to put strings and pickups on your electric guitar, you had to mine the nickel yourself. That's why there's now that big hole in the ground in Sudbury, kids: It's where all that tone was born, during the famous Southern Ontario Nickel Rush of 1959-75. (Today's rock musicians face a new problem: tightening restrictions on the endangered tropical tonewoods that make the best-sounding axes. Blame this on a Mahogany Rush that started in Montreal, toward the end of that period.) The rest of the 1970s were a sad time, the global Dark Age of Disco. Keyboards and synths went nuts; rock was in retreat, and went back underground. Inspired by the period's ecological ethos, some recycling-minded young rockers even tried to bring the nickelback. Today, for two hours every weekend, Randy - a true rock'n'roll survivor, and a gifted raconteur - spins tales like this to enlighten us. While also spinning an enjoyable, and intelligently themed, selection of discs from the days when music was music. With no idiot commercials. And all we have to do is sit back, listen, and enjoy. Sometimes we event get Randy's recollections of studying with Winnipeg jazz genius guitarist Lenny Breau. Is that really so bad? I'm grateful to CBC for broadcasting and Webcasting this unusual gem to the global Anglosphere, every weekend. Enjoy it, Greg and friends.
