Chad ViceIn no particular order, and that is why I have not numbered this list in any way shape or form, I present to you, for reading enjoyment and maybe some hearty debate and discussion purposes only, my list of some of my favorite albums ever released, and the ones I still play on a regular rotation in my life to this day. FULL DISCLOSURE: I do not currently own actually any of these albums on vinyl at this time; I do own these albums on CD however, and I do hope to get some vinyl versions bestowed upon me at...
Dear Canadian Rock Radio Stations, What Happened to You? – PART 4

Here is the final part of this exciting doctrine of Canadian radio stations and their lack of playing a more expanded and broader list of great Canadian music; we are down to the bone and if you remember, here are the radio stations that were up for discussion Energy 1200 (AM)54 Rock/The Bear (54 AM/106.9 FM)CHEZ 106 (106.1 FM)X-FM (101.1 FM)Boom (99.7 FM)Kool FM (94.9 FM) We’ve almost covered them all, or maybe all of them have been covered, I’m not quite sure since I like to jump back forth on my rants.

So to review for the previous two blog posts on this topic, here are the radio stations we are discussing: Energy 1200 (AM)54 Rock/The Bear (54 AM/106.9 FM)CHEZ 106 (106.1 FM)X-FM (101.1 FM)Boom (99.7 FM)Kool FM (94.9 FM) We’ve covered Energy 1200, we’ve covered The Bear, we’ve covered CHEZ 106, and now we move on to the former X-FM.

CHEZ was going strong as always, playing the good...

Hey! Guess what? Yesterday, on our new rock radio station Rebel 101.7, I heard a Killer Dwarfs song played, “Dirty Weapons”, and to top it off, it was even pre-announced as an upcoming song by the host, where he also mentioned that the band played here in Ottawa not long ago. I swear I travelled back to 1990, which is great news for someone like me who lives their life in the past. I’d like to think that my “Part 1” article here got some positive attention, and radio stations are now taking heed that I am a serious music...

Chad ViceI came a little late to the party. At 34 years old, even though I was born in 1981, and I did hear and experience lots of great music played on AM radio and via cassettes played at people’s homes that we would visit, enjoying and being in awe of the music that would shape my life and my thoughts and my feelings into my adult years, really I was too young to attend concerts or do tape trading or really understand the feeling of getting a new album by a favorite artist or band like I do now, back...
