Audiomap / Melbourne

Here is the latest episode of Audiomap! This morning I watched season 5 / episode 2 of Girls. At the end of the episode, Hannah is comforting her sad dad while Roll Up Your Sleeves by Meg Mac plays in the background. It felt very up-lifted. And so, I was inspired to play tunes from Meg's hometown - Melbourne, Australia. Thanks for reading my story and also thanks for listening to CFUR 88.7FM.

New LIVE Blocktreat video!

Brandon Hoffman, also known as Blocktreat, has released a brand new video of a live outdoor performance! Here's what Brandon had to say about the video: "A big reason I got into instrumental music was to escape the negativity of the real world. Making and listening to instrumental music is so important for maintaining my sanity when shit starts going sideways. Lately with all this talk of western politics entering a 'post-truth' era, with Trump getting elected, then with Leonard dying, I feel like folks could use a little more space to just be comfortable with their thoughts (at least I do!). It's kind of a guilty satisfaction that my music feels more relevant the bleaker the news cycle gets."

This is Blocktreat's first live music video, shot on the Traditional Territory of the Secwempemc Nation (Williams Lake BC) in the fall of 2016. In the distance, plumes of steam bellow out of a power plant, which has recently received BC Ministry of Environment approval to burn millions of creosote-soaked railroad ties. This decision has caused a tear in the rural interior community, still struggling to overcome the 2014 breach of the Mount Polly Mine, which received national media coverage. Follow Your Stupid Heart is about keeping cool when the path seems impossibly murky.

Today's Top Wikipedia Edits: Scrooge McDuck is the Richest Duck in the World

According to Wikipedia:

• List of Wealthiest Animals: "Flossie, a dog owned by Drew Barrymore, barked to alert then-husband Tom Green of a fire. Barrymore then put her house in trust for  Flossie to show her gratitude.... Scrooge McDuck is the richest duck in the world"
• Culture, blueberries, São Paolo, and coffee milk no longer exist
• Melania Trump "will be the second foreign-born First Lady of the United States, following Louisa Adams in 1825, and the only First Lady to date not born a citizen of the United States or in what would later become the United States"

Wikipedia Edits of the Day: EU's Seven Dwarves -Brexit, Irexit, Nexit, Grexit, and Frexit

According to Wikipedia:

1. "Irexit is a common name for a hypothetical withdrawal of the Republic of Ireland from the European Union. See also: Brexit, Frexit, Nexit, and Grexit."
2. "A pizza party is a social gathering at which pizza is served.... Typically, a pizza that is 10 to 14 inches wide will feed two people, assuming the party-goers are not voraciously hungry. Since pizzas can include a very wide variety of toppings, one particular type of pizza party allows the party-goers to create their own custom-made pizza using a selection of ingredients.... When a pizza party does not include any custom-made pizzas, it is common to include at least one plain cheese-only pizza."
3. The Eight-Circuit Model of Consciousness recommends the following to activate each circuit: opiods (Oral Bio-Survival Circuit), alcohol (Emotional-Territorial Circuit), cocaine (Neurosemantic-Dexterity Circuit), MDMA (Socio-Sexual Circuit), cannabis (Neurosomatic Circuit), LSD, and peyote (Neuroelectric).

Audiomap / Episode 23

Here's the latest episode of Audiomap! This week's theme is that I'm very unorganized & chaotic so I'm perusing through CFUR's music library and playing one artist from each letter of the alphabet. Basically I'm playing whatever my lil' heart desires. It's radio anarchy up in this joint.

P.S. yes, I know you can hear other music in the background. I'm sorry. The board in Studio A is not ideal. We're workin' on it. In the meantime, thanks for bearing w/ us.
