As the 2024-25 LJI wraps up at CFUR Radio, we share one of our best stories (in my humbled opinion) of the season. This is Genevieve (Station Manager) writing this, just so you are aware! You have to check out this story by Ian Gregg. It is gold.
‘Larry Prasad and his partner, keepers of local record store 2nd Thoughts Buy and Sell, have weathered music industry upheavals for years, carrying a variety of new and used media alongside vintage equipment. The retail space quietly persists in downtown Prince George–Lheidli T’enneh while others have retreated.
In this radio feature CFUR embarks upon an exploration of Prince George’s independent record scene, thinking that Larry was the ideal person to talk to. But Larry proved difficult to track down.
In CFUR’s quest for Larry, they discover some things about the local scene in Prince George as they explore the now shuttered Meow Records.
And finally, still pursuing Prasad, CFUR chased him to a Deadfall Brewing DJ night. There, proprietor Erin Baerwald said of the slinger, “He just knows the spectrum of people’s taste, and that’s community.” This, as she hosted a packed house of local music revelers with Prasad spinning vinyl.
Details on Prasad? Scarce. And that’s the way it stays.’ Ian Gregg, Due North, CFUR
