Tonight the university is being overrun by classic rock lovin’ loogans stumbling around pretending that AC/DC is still cool, so we’re prerecorded so I can keep my distance. We will, however, hear a few people who can actually sing do some AC/DC songs, as well as some other “classic” covers. There are other, far more deserving shows going on, so a chat about some past and future worth caring about. As if that weren’t enough, we’ve got some great new music!

Podcast: Steel Belted Radio – Sept. 3, 2015 – Rheostatics Primer (rerun)

On the eve of the historic Rheostatics reunion shows going on this weekend in Toronto, a listen back to a show that was produced for their last (aborted) reunion. This show originally aired on December 6, 2012.

This is a show I’ve been thinking about doing since I started at UMFM, a beginners’ guide to Rheostatics. One of my favourite bands of all time, and a band that changed my life forever, Rheostatics albums don’t always jump out at new listeners – sometimes they’re a bit hard to get into. Tonight’s show culls some of the most amazing and accessible songs by one of Canada’s most legendary and respected bands.
