Radio

Periodically we here at G7 go get a case of life's blood from the Woodbine Hotel and sit down in front of live microphones with some of our favorite records and some of our favorite personal laments.

The result? An hour of unscripted and unabridged stupidity punctuated with incredibly rare - nay, endangered - moments of insight and two-bit sound effects.

G7 Radio. Radio at the end of its rope. Now in an easier-to-pour weekly format!

G7 Radio Redux! - Episode 4 "Self-Clownage For Idiots!"

Ever had one of those days when you think you're just not enough of a clown? That you're not living up to your full potential as a complete living embarassment to yourself? Well, it's time to kiss those woes goodbye, friends. Our motivational guest speaker Ed from Etobicoke will show you in how less than 1 minute a day you too can become the utter buffoon you've always dreamed you could be. This week's song: Malefaction with Corrected.

G7 Radio Redux! - Episode 3 "Private Parts, General Malaise, Major Bullshit"

G7 Radio Redux! - Episode 2 "The World's Fair"

A temporary lack of judgement leads to another episode in which recent media accounts of Ted Haggard and Anna Nicole Smith are very, very, very, very carefully deconstructed. This week's song: Submission Hold with Body Building.

G7 Radio Redux! - Episode 1 "Science"

This week we read one headline from CNN, almost comment on it and then get bored and stop. Enjoy. This week's song: warsawpack with Year of the Car Crash.

Episode 7, August 2006 - "I thought you didn't eat soup?"

This month we interview Indigenous Peoples' Solidarity Movement activist Shelagh Pizey-Allen about the Grassy Narrows blockade, reveal the results of a scientific analysis of last month's spine-tingling seance, talk to a man who is directly related to a historic moment in Propagandhi history and in the course of recounting a wildly speculative biography of Mel Gibson, somehow find common ground between David Bowie and Cryptic Slaughter. All this and more (or less) on what has been described by critics as "one of the most podcasts in history."

Episode 6, July 2006 - "Ouija Bored!"

As longtime listeners know, we here at G7 Radio have always prided ourselves on our crapsmanshit. Hence, we bring you Episode 6: by leaps and bounds the worst, most pointless, most childish and uninspired episode of G7 Radio. We make fun of each other's wangs and hold a seance between a smattering of rad songs. That's about it.

Episode 5, June 2006

We almost forgot to make this month's podcast! Unfortunately Derek has a good memory. After a deluge of requests, Todd "the rod" Kowalski finally graces us with his presence to explain his work with refugees and to advocate for the killing of posers. We also take a look at the work of Dr. Michael Persinger of Laurentian University: are religious experiences verifiably and reproducibly absurd? (yes.) But first up this month is Sgt. Kelly Dennison of the Winnipeg Police Services explaining what it's like to be a grown man with a microscopic penis! As usual, there is music. Plenty of it fuckface.

Episode 4, May 2006 - "You're so vain, you probably think this show is about you"

We continue to amaze ourselves by creating an hour of radio each month. You have no idea how hard it is for us. We all suffer from severe depression. Anyway, we got stood up by our planned interview guest this month, but that's fine. No, really, see if we care! We don't! We'll still fill up an hour of air time, no sweat. Just watch us. That is, just listen to us make jokes in between some of the wickedest-awesome music you'll hear this year.

Episode 3, April 2006 - "The People's Revolution is gonna be a ..." podcast

That's right - we are back with a third installment of G7 Radio that continues to refuse to insult your intelligence by subjecting you to a thinly veiled self-aggrandizing info-merical for a crop of utterly mediocre new records put out only because labels are expected to keep farting out product regardless of whether it's exceptional or unique in any way.

No, we have much more imaginative ways of insulting your intelligence.

Basically this month we basically talk to Jord, who basically is active with the Canada-Haiti Action Network (and also basically plays drums in Propagandhi). Jordy basically goes over some of Haiti's basically tumultuous history, and basically leads up to the basically illegal interference by the West (basically the US, Canada and France) in Haiti's basically democratic processes. How many times can one man fart into a microphone? You tell us, we lost count. PLUS! Hear Derek rant like a lunatic! Oh wait, that's just him asking questions.

Episode 2, March 2006 - "72 virgins walk into an Israeli bar ..."

We can't believe it either - we made another one! And it's even on time! This month we discuss issues of freedom of speech and context surrounding the publishing of shittily-drawn cartoons depicting Muhammed (because we are qualified political scientitians). Plus, we have activist and photo-journalist Jon Elmer in the studio to discuss the Israeli "disengagement" from Gaza and the Occupation in general. And ... music!

Episode 1, February 2006 - "If everybody laughs, you have failed"

Our premiere broadcast! Wow, what a mistake. Hear Derek smack his lips every 5 seconds! Hear Chris try to mock FM radio personality voices and actually be even less funny than the real thing, which one would normally think impossible! Count how many times Derek says "Uh..." and win a prize!
