Julia Spitale
Hello and welcome to another edition of ‘The Artist Lounge’, where we congregate with local creative talent and talk about what inspires us and specifically, what perspires us, during the hotness of summer. July and summer is in full swing and every tuesday night we have our creative campfire, and to create the atmosphere of your favourite camping trip we asked our guests not to take a shower for a couple of days and installed an outhouse on the football field. Unfortunately the team mistook it for a tackling dummy, not good…

Marlene Swidzinski

I’m sorry Canada but this year I am finding it very difficult to celebrate your Birthday.
You likely know the reasons why, but I feel betrayed; what did we all do to deserve this. One would think that you get better with age.
I’ve known you for all my life, you’ve made mistakes in the past, but I’ve never seen this in you before. The look on your face, the evil in your eyes, the aggressiveness, the contempt, the lack of respect and dignity. However, its the anger, like a seething Pit Bull ready to attack at even a flinch of a feather. Its like I could feel your teeth plunging to the core of my heart, twisting and turning with the vengeance seemingly detached from any resemblance of me as a living being. How can I, or anyone trust you any longer? I don’t know where to start and its difficult to find the energy to do so.
How can I celebrate when there are mutual friends of ours in prison being held for unjust reasons. This looks like Martial Law! Even those who you have released are still in pain, they are traumatized, they are hurt, yet the worst part of all this is that they no longer believe in you. I see the anger in them towards you, its quite frightening. Will you even acknowledge what you have done has caused deep hurt? Our friends truly believe that they did nothing wrong. Are you choosing to sweep this under the rug and discount the emotion of your friends?
Oh Canada, what happened to the True Patriot Love? Today, I ask myself; how can I continue to stand on guard for thee?
In this week’s episode of “Art of the Mind” we come together to celebrate National Aboriginal day.
We have Métis musician and HIV outreach worker, Darron Cound here to talk about his work in the Aboriginal community.
Musician Nadine Gagne also joins us in studio to supply us with some tunes to celebrate Aboriginal heritage and raise awareness about the lack of musical resources for Aboriginal children.
To provide a comedic intermission, Brian Majore entertains us with some “racially-charged humour.”
Finally, we speak with Mary Holmes, Program Coordinator for the Urban Aboriginal Intergenerational Garden project as she entices us with stories of the delicious food they cultivate at UBC farms.

With the Olympics in Vancouver and homelessness as a critical issue, we were very fortunate to have many volunteers at CJSF and W2 put their passion towards this project. It was a milestone event in many ways and the fact we were able to have an opportunity to give people a voice, is what makes community independent media special. A special thanks to our guests Star, Ricky, Montana King and many musicians including adaline, The Hot Corn Ramblers, Derick, Robin Livingston and others unnamed who helped be part of a beautiful episode”, states J Peachy a co-producer of the program.

A Rose by any other name can’t be this funny!
September 20, 2010 in Announcements, Arts Review, Commentary | Tags: CJSF 90.1 FM, J Peachy, melanie rose, sound therapy radio, Stand up for mental health | by J Peachy | 1 comment
We are excited to announce that Melanie Rose will be joining the Sound Therapy Radio team. Melanie is burning up the comedic world and will be helping add some lightness to our sometimes dark episodes. An Alumni of the Stand up for Mental Health program, Melanie attributes comedy for saving her from some pretty despair times.
Melanie has learned that laughter is always the best medicine. She has learned not to PANIC when she is MANIC.
Although, her love for tye dye shirts might be helping her get over the Ex.…it may also explain why she is still single.
She is a mother of 4 girls that don’t live with her (a long story).. but she is real…Anxiety and all…she tells jokes and stories of her life, and hopefully shows people it might just be OK to be “Crazy”.
So be on the lookout for Melanie on the airwaves of Sound Therapy Radio
