Happy Whatever-the-hell-you-celebrate from Bob and AJ -

Join us as we sit by the fire, and actually do a B&AJ show in time for the holidays.

Thanks for all the emails/comments/patience this year, hope the holidays find you safe and happy, and we’ll see you in 2010!

The Bob and AJ show is officially Canada’s oldest running podcast. No doubt about it.

This year, we mark our 5th anniversary, and I REALLY want to do a Christmas show. No, you don’t understand… I NEED to do a Bob & AJ Xmas show so that my model of the universe continues to exist.

AJ, as most of you know, spends little or no time online, so he doesn’t get the feedback I get sometimes. The thing is, AJ doesn’t see what you and I talk about on twitter, facebook, or what is emailed to me directly, and to be honest, he’s feeling a bit unappreciated.

I think it’s really important for us to do an Xmas ‘09 show, if only for the fact that I haven’t seen AJ since the summer, and hell that’s just too long.

So I need your help -

I’d need you to comment on THIS post, and tell AJ how a Bob & AJ Xmas show would make you feel. Be honest, be brutal, but please post..  Want to call it in? Sure – (267) 220-3701

Help me make AJ feel the Xmas love!

Thanks!

Bob

Thanks so much to everyone for the audio,comments, emails etc helping us discuss Canadian music..

It was too long for 1 show, show here’s part 1, part 2 will be out in a couple of days..

That’s pretty much all the show notes you get..

So we’re getting ready for the show we’re recording in a few days (another?? so soon? ) , and we decided to make this one about Canadian music. AJ and I could easily talk Canadian music for hours, but we’d like your input…

So here are the questions for you :

• Favourite Canadian Band ?
• Their best album ?
• Their most influential tune, and why ?

Simple enough eh?

A sure sign of summer being over is the ability for AJ and I to get together. It almost didn’t happen, neither of us are in a place where returning calls when agreed upon is easy. BUT – we rose above it, because there was cold beer to be consumed, and audio to create.
Even though the elections in Canada and the US are about a month away, we remain faithful to ourselves and avoid politics in favour of Hockey and The Muppets…..

Oh was this fun. Christa Couture came to town to play and promote her new album, and there was no way in hell we were going to miss that. We had a great time listening and watching Christa, and an even better time chatting with her. It was like talking to an old friend for the first time.

You’ll hear some other voices around the table, they’d be:

• Cat from the Catfishshow
• Neil Gorman from Comicology
• Nico from SnowyDay Design

Proving why Bob and AJ aren’t doing radio, we discuss lots of fun stuff with Christa, almost none of which has to do with music :

• Neil is Obama’s running mate
• after 3 years we meet
• Mic stand parts in Lethbridge
• Married before getting too old
• We ask an FM question, and can’t follow through
• Self booked tours
• Christa hates Montreal ?
