Taylor Simon’s reaction to the snacks that Jenn and I had open to get us through the show was…uh, interesting.

 I guess from here on, we’ll have to have something a bit more healthy in front of us, at least on Monday and Thursday mornings.

Every Friday morning, Andy from Nerds On Site gets on the Morning Rush to talk up cool new apps, gadgets and techy rumours. Best thing is, he tries to find the cheapest, or in most cases free stuff! On Friday’s show, he was pretty cranked up about a free new competitor for Skype!

Google-Call

Tech 989 runs at 6:50am and 8:10 am Fridays on The Morning Rush.

Wow, it had been awhile since we had some live music on The Drive, but it came back in fine form…with an accordion!!!  Kingston’s “The Gertrudes” stopped by to promote their brand new CD “Dawn Time Riot” and their CD release party Friday night (August 27th) at the Wolfe Island Grill.  Check it out!

One of my favourite CDs in 2010 (even though it came out late ’09) is “Sainthood” from Tegan and Sara so it was a real treat to chat with Tegan Quin and discuss it, family life, and touring.  And “yes”, I ask when the hell are they coming back to Kingston.  It was an absolute pleasure talking with her.  Have a listen…

In part one we talk about the CD “Sainthood”
Tegan (Part One)

Part two is about getting into the business, touring, and “When are you coming back to Kingston?”
Tegan (Part Two)

Part Three – Reid’s Randoms…”Have You Ever Used Your Wonder Twins Power?”
Tegan (Part Three)

Cheers – Reid

This is pretty random, but cool, when Soundgarden played their big reunion show at Lollapalooza, and one of the photographers in the pit was baseball legend Randy Johnson!  Seems strange, but the pictures are cool and the story is here too, check it out.

Months after going missing, we heard from our deer (sic) friend Wayne Leevey this morning! Turns out he was on a quest with his brother Gary. We’ll let Wayne describe it himself: Wayne!

We’d also like to wish Gary a speedy recovery.
