Sad sad day in Radioland

It's a quiet Saturday night over here, as I listen to the very last live broadcast of CBC Radio 3, aired on CBC Radio 2. A victim of the CBC's new programming, the show I've listened to for the past few year's (and I remember all of the Saturdays I spent studying to this show)is rocking the shit out of Canada in their last hurrah. I can feel a hole in my heart slowly forming. I can feel each individual indie rock braincell dying off one by one. I download the podcasts of course, and often have the streamed music playing while I'm at home, but what am I supposed to do on my Saturday nights from this day onwards? Okay okay so it isn't that bad-- I do spend many Saturday nights going out... but the point is that it's like when you break up with a boyfriend, or stop talking to your best friend. What do you do with the time you would have spent with them?

One solution is to get the freaking $500 Sirius iPod thing and a $30 monthly subscription. Given that I want to move out and since I'm more keen to save up my money, I've ruled that out. I know I'll survive somehow, with Joel Plaskett on the way, live Weakerthans tonight on the radio, and resuming guitar, I'll fill the void one way or another.

On a side note, *M* introduced me to the band Cold War Kids. Absolutely awesome song. The kind you can only dance to when you're in your underwear.

    yes, it was a sad night... but at least there's a full station you could listen to... and can't you stream the station through the interweb? I haven't checked, but maybe you can :)

    Miss Pow! You may have figured this out already but, CBC Radio 3 is on the net through their podcast (go to http://radio3.cbc.ca/ and click on podcast)! i've actually subscribed to them through iTunes and it works out pretty nicely. that's how I've been always listening to it! (I didn't even know they were actually on the radio...haha)
