Whatever happened to J.B. Shayne?

The state of radio in Vancouver is such that virtually no one’s interests are attended to. Radio stations programme music off the American Billboard charts, personality radio is almost a thing of the past (save Rafe Mair at AM600 and Frosty Forst at ‘NW), music with a huge following (ambient, techno, progressive house, electronica) has no place on local commercial airwaves, and the situation continues to deteriorate.
VanRamblings will weigh in, from time to time, on the state of radio.
Stay tuned.

Copy Editor Comes On Board

Friend, neighbour and colleague David Cubitt has come on board as Copy Editor, to ensure the content on this site is, at least, readable. Mr. Cubitt, however, is quick to point out that he disavows any responsibility for the content published on the site. Still and all, David’s contribution will be much appreciated by all of us in the days to come, I’m sure.
