Because of my unexpected two day hiatus from blogging I missed two days of my seven day Whole Wheat Radio Artist of the Day experiment. I’m going right ahead and rectifying this by recommending one of my favourites, Johnsmith!

Given I already linked to John Gorka from Whole Wheat Radio yesterday, I thought it’d be fun to do an artist of the day thingy here for a week and see what new stuff I discover. Today’s band is one I’d never heard before, but they hands down do the best rendition of Born in Chicago that I’d ever friggen heard in my life, the Chicago Blues Reunion!
I could transcribe their description, but best to go to their artist page and see for yourself; from there you can also see their links to other social networks and even request some of their songs and the WWR audio stream will accommodate :).

Trying out some of these new Whole Wheat Radio share link artist widgets, what an awesome idea!

I don’t know how I ended up at this review site, but I was less surprised by the fact the unit they were discussing was so shamelessly ripping off the iPod (right down to the headphones), but rather the reviewer actually liked it. Were they wearing those beer glasses Bart Simpson tried on?
I’m not British, I don’t live in the UK and the only radio station I’ve listened to in the Isles is Today FM in The Republic, but a ton of my English friends are up in arms about this latest move by the BBC to chop programming, so I’m doing my bit to help spread the word, however trivially insignificant it’ll be in the grand scheme of things; wow this was a really long sentence.

Spiff: Is it cool if I swear?
Jim: Yeah, we encourage it!
Spiff: Really?! Man I love this f*cking place!
A heads up in case you’ve forgotten, the Melissa Mitchell and Spiff house concert at Whole Wheat Radio will be starting 20:00 Alaska time, which translates to 13:00 Singapore and 15:30 Aussie Central Daylight Whatsit.
Recently I wanted to ask my dad if he’d got his new bicycle frame yet, but I didn’t want to confuse him into thinking I was talking about his motorbike — which he also owns but needs some repairs — so I asked about his acoustic bike. Allegedly he’s still telling his friends about his dopey son :D.
Anyway I’m frantically off down the road to get a cup of coffee before it starts!

Just a quick post to inform you all I voted for Ray Foley for the Irish Meteor radio awards! Not sure if international SMS text messages are counted, but budda diddly boom! "The Ray Foley Show… Today Eff Emm!"
