\"Emm<\/p>\n

Remember back in May 2007<\/a> when I mentioned my pal, musical genius Danny Michel<\/a> was planning to co-host a radio show for the CBC with his pal Emm Gryner<\/a>? (If you don’t remember, click back<\/a> and refresh your memory)<\/p>\n

Well the pilot for that program aired quite a while ago, but it did get picked up, and Danny and Emm did record a season of the show.<\/p>\n

… and it started yesterday. <\/p>\n

Yeah, if you didn’t already know this, you already missed one airing–fortunately, that was just the pilot airing again. And I happen to have the pilot captured here for anyone who was interested (this is actually from the airing last May, but I think what played yesterday was identical.)<\/p>\n

You can stream it here: <\/p>\n

or just download a relatively low quality version for play elsewhere (I’ve got a better copy here, but it’s A LOT bigger, and this is as good as radio anyway.)<\/p>\n

\"LinkUnder The Covers – Episode 1 (Pilot)<\/a><\/p>\n

The show has its own section<\/a> at the CBC’s site, including an episode guide<\/a> that has lots of interesting details about upcoming shows. Some bits that grab me:<\/p>\n

Cover songs have a long and storied history in North America, but they were also used as tools to perpetuate racism and segregation – find out why Elvis Presley’s career owed more to black R&B artists than his swivelling hips.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

All that and an email from David Bowie, who finally reveals what he thinks of Danny\u2019s countrified cover of Young Americans.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Have you ever listened to a song your whole life, and then discovered it\u2019s actually a COVER?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And now, an added bonus for people who read this far: some Danny Michel performances!<\/p>\n

First up, a live performance of Danny’s fever dream lucha libre<\/em> tune, “14 Masks Of Danger”, from the new album<\/a>:<\/p>\n

And then for a closer, Danny closing a show with “I’m ‘a Love You Anyway”:<\/p>\n
