Gentlemen Chill Out at Bar

Hey folks, thanks again for tuning into another edition of The Great Banana Hoax. What began as a brief mention and subsequent spinning of the Cambodian Psych-Out record I borrowed from my friend Ava, quickly turned into an entire set of Cambodian and Asian psychedelia. Ahhh, the unpredictability of radio.

Jordan and I both went to the Dustin Bentall gig at Queen Alex hall this past Friday. So did Tom Gilbert, Kyle 'hot rod' Brodziak and everyone's favourite post-game interview, Jason Strudwick. Ha! Small town Edmonton strikes again!

After a Sid Cros/Alex O. goal-scoring clinic yesterday, the Caps have taken a 2-0 series lead. My Pens are floundering. The temperature-controlled conditions of their igloo will be a welcoming sight.

And if you're at all interested in tragic hockey/life stories, please read up on Brian "Spinner" Spencer. Atom Egoyan even made a TV movie about it! ATOM EGOYAN!

We're going to take a break over the May Long weekend. The next broadcast will be on May 31. After that, another hiatus while I trapse around the southern United States en route to Bonnaroo!
