Next up on JACK FM: Angélique Kidjo
- “It is moving away from something only the public broadcaster can do to something many private broadcasters already do” – Ian Morrison, Friends of Canadian Broadcasting
- “Anyone who thinks private broadcasters are doing what this ‘new’ Radio 2 will do is vastly overestimating private broadcasters” – Valerie Hunter
I looked over the playlists for Buck 65’s Drive and excerpted the first pair of songs played the first day, the second pair from the second day, and so on.
- “Dreamer,” Grant, Jenn
- “Myriad Harbour,” New Pornographers
- “I’m a Mountain,” Harmer, Sarah
- “Gimme Shelter,” Kidjo, Angélique
- “Poor Helpless Dreams,” Sexsmith, Ron
- “Annalisa,” MacLeod, Paul
- “Measures and Scales,” Jill Barber
- «Ange gardien», Stéfie Shock
- “Where and When,” Hayden
- “Vanorapa,” Chiwoniso
- “Stolen Earrings,” Two Hours’ Traffic
- “That Summer,” Andy Stochansky
Then I asked Friends of Canadian Broadcasting to tell me exactly which private broadcaster is playing any of those songs. (Not “many private broadcasters” – I’d be happy with just one citation.) If they bother to respond, I’ll report it. But could they have been bullshitting all along?
