The Signal with Pat Carrabré- Friday April 25, 2008
The Signal takes a whirlwind gander at music inspired by all those great big cities that speckle our planet. Pat will spin music from the likes of Gonzales, Antoine Berthiaume and Tim Brady. In Concert the crackle and pop of Vancouver’s piano driven Attics and Cellars will entertain. If all this leaves you far to cheery, hold up- Pat will also be sharing an in-depth listen to the music of siren PJ Harvey.





The Signal with Pat Carrabré - Saturday, April 26, 2008
Tonight in high rotation Pat will sample the music of Ottawa’s neo folkys Muskox. Our concert will take us to Prince Edward Island for an incredible musical experience featuring Kiran Ahluwalia and the saxophone of Mr. Danny Oore. The hype will also get under way for a massive loot-bag give away: one artist’s entire catalogue(think dark clouds + late 80s), earplugs optional. There will also be music from “Will the Circle”, DBR and Goldfrapp.

PRIZE ALERT:
And the question is- What band did Bobby Gillespie form after leaving Jesus and Mary Chain. This is part one of two questions- one this week and one next week, since the prize is so massive: The Jesus and Mary Chain catalogue, yup you read right.



The Signal with Pat Carrabré - Sunday, April 27, 2008
Tonight in concert Pat pulls out the cocktail shaker and pours a round of the effervescent Esprit Orchestra: with Claude Vivier, Philip Cashian and Doug Schmidt. Later in the evening, fresh from a secret marinade, Pat dishes out some prime cut samplings from the International Rostrum of Composers; this week from Austria, Germany and Italy. Plus there will be fireworks from Veda Hille, Andrew Bird and Son Lux.
