Vancouver!

For only the second time in four-plus years and 220 episodes, there's a show where Erik & Weldon are in the same room at the same time! And since Erik is visiting Vancouver, we've decided to make the city (and surroundings) the star of the show! First up is Patty Surbey with "Hey Boy," a corny but super-fun number that PS elevates through her wild vocal stylings. Then there's The Nocturnals with "Because You're Gone" which has a cool Peter Gunn-type riff and an overall Pacific Northwest Sound. The climax comes from The Painted Ship's "And She Said Yes," one of the wildest rock'n'roll vocal performances of any era. But there's no falling action! because then we get to hear "Hard to Cry" by The Northwest Company - a riff-driven rocker that points the way to the future. Finally, we throw a kurvbal at you and discuss "an ode to da levy" - a poem by 60s Vancouver King Beatnik bill bissett. Enjoy your stay!
