One of many reasons why I like CBC Radio!

Don't tell my mother, but I absolutely love CBC Radio One! If she knew, she'd smirk and say, "Well, at least you have some good taste. You inherited that from me." At our house the radio was always tuned to CBC 740 (Edmonton), and I've grown used to it. I'll listen to CBC 2 and occasionally CBC 3 (but that gets pretty weird at times), however I prefer to listen to Radio One on its original format on the AM dial (it sounds grittier and more interesting). I usually try to catch "Q" as wells as "DNTO", "Blue Sky" (in Alberta - "Wild Rose Country") and of course, no Saturday is complete without "Quirks and Quarks". Hey, I think the CBC should pay me a cut for promoting their programs!

Anyways, driving back from Yorkton last night we managed to catch a replay of Jian Ghomeshi's "Q". They mentioned a really neat website: www.sleeveface.com. Here's an example:



Neat huh? They've also got a really cool one from Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water" album. I like the ones from Peter Frampton and Pantera (funny) albums. By the way, if you've never heard of Cibo Matto, you should check them out, they're really good!
