Tonight’s Bad, Not Cheap is going to be awesome. I’m struggling to write this blog post because I’m not sure what else I can say to describe the show other than that. Though it’s going to be slightly less rockin’ than previous weeks, I am confident that long-time listeners will appreciate my lineup of artists.
Listen from 4-6pm tonight on CFUR 88.7fm.

It’s Canada Day tomorrow! Whether you’re going to the park, heading out to a lake, or even have to work, we hope you take some time to celebrate the awesome country you live in. And to help, we have some special programming today.
The CFUR Canada Mixtape is a flow of pure, straight-up Canadian music made after the year 2006. So when you get sick of listening to Rush and Nickelback, you can head over to 88.7 or cfur.ca/listen and take in the sounds of the New Pornographers, Said the Whale, You Say Party!, Fan Death, Cadence Weapon, Crystal Castles, Mother Mother, and much much more. We’re still playing our regular shows, we’re just taking out the reruns, so you can hear the Canada Day Mixtape from 8 to 11 am, 4 to 8 pm, and 10 to 11 pm. Oh, and just a note– if you want to know what you’re listening to anytime, head over to last.fm/user/cfurradio to find out what’s on the air.
Canada is well known as a multicultural country. This is not about people who were born in different countries and eventually find their future in Canada. Many people who were born in Canada have different back ground; their parents or grand parents were immigrant to this great land. Living in this mash up society, trying to make the best of it, and seeking your goal and dream…..
This Friday, on June 25, “Planet Without Borders” will bring you another story of a person who was born in Canada with diverse back ground. He accepted all changes to achieve his goals…

As listeners will know, for the last two months we’ve been experimenting with CFUR in the Summer, a music mix that deemphasizes the role of individual DJs in favour of playing more music. It’s been pretty successful so far, with one major problem– when there’s not an on-air host, there’s no way for listeners to tell what songs they’re actually hearing.
Well, we think we may have come up with a workable solution: last.fm. The social media savvy among you will have come across this site at some point, for the rest of you here’s the gist: last.fm is a network that allows users to share this message: “What am I listening to?” It does this by way of scrobbles (essentially sending the names of tracks you listen to in iTunes, WinAmp, and various other places) to your personal profile in last.fm. From there you can do various other things with the information (see here for more), but our purposes that’s good enough.
We’ve set up a last.fm account for CFUR Radio that is set up to scrobble tracks played during the CFUR music flows (Monday to Wednesday, 1 to 4). Now, if you hear a song you want to know more about, you should be able to go to last.fm/user/cfurradio and see what’s playing.
Oh, and if you happen to be a last.fm user who wants to scrobble the songs you hear on CFUR, here’s a nifty little tool you can use.
Let us know what you think about this feature, and also let us know if there’s anywhere else you think we should be in the world of online music.
Last week on Bad, Not Cheap, I promised that I would feature food-related songs this week. Well. . . that’s not exactly happening. I apologize! There will be no theme for the show tonight.
You can tune in right now until 6pm to hear what I’ve got to say about this week in Prince George, and as I just mentioned on the air, I’ve been drinking a lot of tea. Listen to CFUR tonight if you’re curious to hear the sound of tea.
