About Me

I'm a freelance music writer, and host of the "hit" afternoon variety show, the Anarcho-Feminist Kool-Aid Acid Test, airing every Monday from 2-4 pm on CFRU 93.3 FM in Guelph, Ontario. You can listen to us online, at www.cfru.ca by clicking on the listen live link on the right hand side, or by checking out our last few shows of the month at www.cfru.ca/newarchive.php , or subscribe to our podcast at www.32division.com .All the artists listed in the info here are ones we've featured on the show.We think listening to the radio can be an exciting interactive experience for audiences, so that's why we invite your feedback whenever you feel the hunger to shout back at us. Tell us what you think of what we think, and what you'd rather hear us play, by e-mailing [email protected], or by posting comments here.More interested in political commentary than our musical dialogues? Every time we make a factual error that is purported as accurate truth, call in or e-mail with the correct piece of trivia, some sort of backing evidence, and a request for one aspect of the show you'd like to program differently at one point.The request lines are always open, you just have to listen for the number.

My Interests

In our Aristocratic Acid Test we want to let everyone get their input recognized; it's the only way to be sure you're not leaving anything out. Even Descartes would have gone for some holistic social method of making sure what he developed was truth. Now, at least we'll be able to do it with him in mind. Him... or Thom Yorke. You know, whoever strikes a chord at the moment. Listen to the show and read the blogs, tell us what you think and we'll make it work with our standpoint. We know there's a common one out there somewhere, and we're commited to find it. Obtuse enough for you? Questions encouraged ;)If you: Are a band with music you'd like to have heard Have a question about our politics Want to help with y/our community Have heard the show and have facts you'd like checked out Would like to animate a segment of the AFKAATThen:send an e-mail to [email protected]
