Episode 88. originally aired September 24, 2007
With apologies for the late update of the site, here is probably the most unique and potentially most exciting episode of the slipstream to date. This past weekend I trawled around the sights and sounds of the LOLA festival, with my digital camera in tow, which turned out to have a sound recorder for its damn decent mic. So as it turned out I used my status as a community radio host to get some interviews with various folks. The interviews are occasionally of subpar quality, but I did learn a lot about the process from a technical and theoretical standpoint. I also managed to record a few special LOLA performances, which crop up also (see tracklisting for details of course). And just to keep things lively, behind my inane ramblings, you can hear snatches of many live performances recorded throughout the weekend at Victoria Park. It was thrown together in a bit of a mad panic on Sunday as I was leaving in the evening for Toronto, but I think it’s still worth a listen, and hope you will to. So what are you waiting for.. check it out (on the podcast, or the link above). Also, LOLAfest is a really exciting event and one of my most favourite things of a long while, so it’s worth looking into and encouraging similar endeavours.

originally aired August 27, 2007The last episode of radioslipstream in the booth at CFMU before I move back to London. The podcast will continue, probably bi-weekly, unless the program director at CFMU is willing to let me keep the show on the air remotely, in which case I’ll be uploading new episodes as per usual, so long as they actually get played (see: last summer).
The first hour is commentary-free due to extreme laptop fuckups at the beginning of the show.
