LIQUID AUDIO

Papillon's pick: Radioio. She recommends the "beats" channel, rhythm oriented music which features the best of many genres, from breakbeat, electro, idm, and many exclusive dj mixes.

Still waiting for the Octopus to resurrect. For those who used to hoof to the best beats in Toronto, here are some photos from the past.

This station's claim is "Classic alternative favourites, rarities and deep cuts from the 80's and beyond". Heard: Souxsie and the Banshees, The The, The Ocean Blue (all good) and a really long remix of Yaz's Situation (bad).

CBC wags, take note. KCRW, an excellent public radio station from California mixes up their programming with food talk, Chocolate City grooves, NPR snippets and excellent new music.

CKLN (88.1 fm) plays a smooth house set from 1-2:30 pm and a hip/hop/r&b set from 2:30 - 4pm every Sunday. Where else can you hear Perculator?

Great finger-snappin', hip-swingin', or if you're Nors, hand-clappin' sets over at BBC. Check out the soulful house at the Dreem Team channel.

I was walking down the hall with X and went to scratch the side of my nose while at the same time turning my head and I think my finger went up my nose for a split second! Then I corrected it and scratched the side of my nose, all the while looking at X and I think he thought I was picking it!
