Bons mots from my esteemed colleague M. Weisblott’s Eye Weekly cover story on Radio 2:
- “[B]ased on the first week of Radio 2 Morning… the mix is one even more likely to discourage teenagers from loitering in a subway station”
- “Much like the way Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony remained part of his œuvre even after someone turned it into a tacky disco song, Radio 2’s programming philosophy involves playing plenty of favourites as bait to help listeners learn about something new”
- “[I]s it sheer narcissism that motivates people to feel that the power of the radio medium automatically improves whenever it’s playing their song?”
heard damnit, heard
God knows who’s giving that guy head
Damn, I just head Ghomeshi mispronounce “pas de deux”, in a billboard where he said, get this, “we know how to say pas de deux“.
Uh, no you don’t.
