from the wiki; Institutional memory is a collective set of facts, concepts, experiences and know-how held by a group of people. As it transcends the individual, it requires the ongoing transmission of these memories between members of this group.

So many feelings. Regret at missing out on the last year or so of blogging, and getting to meet awesome new bloglodytes. Joy at the awesome memories I've made with the people I have met. Anger at the management for continuing the trend of breaking something sublime. Hope that the "new" R3 won't be as bad as all that. Dread that it will, and that I'll lose touch with this incredible community (moreso than I already have). Mostly, though, gratitude for all the ways in which this community has touched my life. Damn the man, save the Empire.

I'm surprised that they never made a pop-up player to make it easier to keep track of the blog and the songs at the same time. I mean, sure, "Newest First" or "separate window," but those seem like less elegant solutions.

xcanuck

1. 46 posted by

xcanuck on Mar 27, 2015 @NLL Outstanding! I'll try to locate a bottle of Bruichladdich Octomore (reportedly three times the phenol measurement of Ardbeg 10). I suspect the picnic will have the feel of a wake about it so some scotch is probably called for. Plus, we must maintain the tradition that Davoud started.

@NLL #123, Speaking as a person that signed the online petition we didn't know everything when I signed it and I  believe in innocent until proven guilty and at that we didn't have all of the facts.  Now that we do know what happened I agree that the BBC would be doing the right thing in firing him (or in this case not renew his contract). 

My complaint with the BBC is why couldn't they edit together the bits with just Hamster and May and show them. They have done nothing wrong (this time).

I know I'm not going to be able to keep up today, but I just wanted to say...at the risk of being scolded and labelled an unreasonable American...thanks to everyone in here for being such cool people to virtually hang out with. I regret not meeting you all in person, but I did at least meet Grant at his book event here. If any of you find yourselves in the Limestone City, let me know. I'm not here full time anymore, but you have about a 50/50 shot. I'd love to meet up for a beer or show or whatever.

I also know that no live Grant will further reduce the amount of time I spend here. The new music direction has already driven me away to some extent, but I hope the blog continues, and I'll do my best to stop in and say hey.

One of the true joys of R3 for me has been learning about a ton of awesome Francophone bands that I never would have heard had it not been for R3. People like Metric, Patrick Watson, Dan Mangan, and Basia Bulat I've heard on NPR, but rarely do I hear non-English lyric music there (yes, I know there are world music shows, but "world" tends to mean "Global South" in radio parlance).

If anyone missed it yesterday, Library Voices suggested an unofficial R3 meet up at Gateway Festival this summer. Apparently it's about an hour's south of Regina. For those of us who can't make it to the NXNE picnic, this could be an alternative.

If this turns into a thing, I'll probably rent a car and drive down so if anyone is coming from afar I could probably pick someone(s) up from the Regina airport. Just spit balling ideas here.

From Jill Barber's FB:

Today marks the end of an era as the final day of live hosting on CBC Radio 3.

I want to take a moment to join the Radio 3 community and congratulate my husband Grant Lawrence for being so awesome at his job.

I've been by Grant's side for the last 8 years and I can tell you that his love and passion and dedication to the R3 community extends well beyond the "airwaves".

Grant, I love you and am so proud of you. I am especially proud of your loyalty to public broadcasting and of your passion for championing Canadian artists.

We are a CBC family. We want our son to grow up with CBC, the way we grew up with CBC. I want him to get to know our country through smart, engaging and challenging broadcasting. And so I continue to support the CBC as it evolves and changes in the face of extreme budget cuts and internal challenges.

Grant, I can't wait to see what exciting, fun and NEW projects you get up to next at CBC. Onwards and upwards. xo

Hi, Louise. This is only the second post that I've made to the message board. I've been a dedicated Radio 3 listener since I discovered the station last June on Sirius (I live in New Jersey, USA). Since then, I've discovered so many great artists and my music collection has greatly expanded as a result. As this is, sadly, your last show, I want to thank you for helping me to know these bands better through the information that you shared during your breaks. Your friendly and upbeat delivery always made my morning drive to work a lot more pleasant. Best of luck to you, and maybe when some future federal administration has enough sense, the CBC's funding will be reinstated and we might be able to benefit from the entertaining and knowledgeable voices like yours and the rest of the hosts again.

@KC - perfect... I'll come down river if I know I can sleep on Erin's couch... perfect!  I've never actual met any other R3rs (except TB3 in passing at wolfe island years ago).  Or perhaps I'll make a pilgrimage to T.O. for this famed picnic...

Okay, so I only tread about the first 100 comments. It is funny how my thoughts are echoed before I get a chance to write them. I can only agree and confirm. It was my thought too that we could reach the Iron Throne before Grant got on. I was also sad and happy and shaking at the timeline. I also laughed at the Hobbit comment regarding Grant's 'challenge'.  I do not know if this thought has been expressed yet: As the CBC Radio3 has changed over the years it will continue to change. I would like to think that this is the last live on-air hosting for now. With the outpouring of support demonstrated here I think it would be foolish to think that live hosting could never come back. The political idea of austerity and the move away from support for the collective good that can come out of government will not last forever. I live in hope.

I have changed into what might be one of the more rare CBC Radio3 t-shirt, a long sleeved black t with the racoon/eagle on the back with a small R3 logo at the hip. Add to it wearing my R3 belt buckle, I'm geared up for the morning!

I don't have an R3 shirt, having given the one I got from Craig to Dawn.h. I'm pretty sure it was a women's shirt, and I didn't like the way it accentuated my curves. I'm wearing the shirt in spirit, though.

@krib - the reason I didn't wear any of the other shirts to get the blood draw is that they're all a little too small.  I didn't want to look like an inflated balloon.  But this long sleeved tshirt is a bit more forgiving.

Overwhelmingly, I get the feeling that on-air call-outs have become the reason people participate on the blog.  I admit, I'm a bad example.  Just not always interested.  Folks like theradiohead, garf, krib, kirk, etc. are here even during pre-taped shows. 

If everyone really wants to support Grant, the blog will now fall under his jurisdiction - show up, day after day.

Even though I've fallen off the blog, I just wanted to say thanks to Grant, Lana, Vish, Craig, Pedro, and all of you for so many great years and inspiration. I hope the spirit of R3 lives on.

523 - Exactly... life is not over, the plug is not pulled and there are still people with creative talent who are working there. It's a bit of a format change but it's not the end of the world. I have enjoyed Grant's live show over the past couple years while I worked a desk jockey job, he entertained me usually. 

He's kind of like the Don Cherry of Canadian music - you either love him or hate him.

I don't really care.  He has good stories and good music, what difference does it make if it's pre-recorded by an hour or two minutes"

So basically the blog will stay the same, the music will stay the same, but call outs won't be live but probably the next day.

Personally, I kinda like when Grant is on the blog more anyway. I also like when artists call in (not necessarily live). Hopefully both of these things can happen more. It might actually make for a better listening experience for the show.

I know when I tune into sirius on my car I'd rather hear music or a story than shout outs, if I had the choice.

Listening to Alvvays again reminds how much R3 has done for the Canadian music scene. I know the pencil pushers don't give a crap and I respect the process of cutbacks. But huh. Rewind for 15 years and have a look at how many great bands have come from Canada. I truly believe without R3 leading the way, bands like Arcade Fire, BSS, New Poronographers, Tegan & Sara and so many more would of never seen the level of success that they have enjoyed. R3 has pushed local radio across this country to embrace indie. Would the Peak in Vancouver be nearly as popular without "Robots?" Would Indie88 exist? 

I'm hopeful for Monday and what the future brings. But without live hosts, I fear R3 will fall into the noise of all the other streaming services.

Taped segments, pre-recorded show... I think that's about the same.

That's how I think just about every station on sirius does it. A few like Shade 45 or Howard Stern have live hosts for their morning shows but the rest are all just repeats of what they've done in the studio. To be honest unless you listen a lot you don't even notice if it's the same segment twice.

I guess the other plus thing about this while I'm rambling is that you can do a 45 minute interview with an artist and play that through the course of the day or the week and it makes for really good segues.

Obviously it's better if it's live in studio but that must be really really hard to organize

Hey Grant, if an Iron Throne before you get here counts, can you play Plants and Animals - Good Friend? To the best of my recollection, I think that was the first R3 meet up show I went to with drock.If not... how about Luke Doucet - Long Haul Driver because it's full of Winnipeg references and is likely the first "R3" influenced album I bought.Or... Chromeo - Fancy Footwork because it always serves as a reminder that sometimes you need the radio to introduce you to new music repeatedly before you learn to love it.

One thing I could look at negatively that's related to R3 is that whole Calgary thing that happened... BUT! It was actually awesome because I became really good (I think...) friends with Switters! He's great and I don't think we'd be close friends if I didn't spend a couple months in Calgary. So thanks, leftandleaving, for convincing me to move out there!

@Steve V - Owow, TV news?! Are you going to be a host? do I actually have to start watching CBC news now??

@NLL - That SMallie. He's the reason why we can't have nice things. What's got you so out of sorts?? I'm good - busy busy as per usual these days - I'm still volunteering witht he foundation, work is a mire of ALL OF THE THINGS, and PST is reading my unfinished novel manuscript, so life is very full. And occaisionally terrifying. Mostly the whole a literary agent has my novel thing....

Not sure if requests are getting read or collected anywhere, so I'm just going to float these:

This Is It by the Wheat Pool, which reduces me to mush anytime. Anything by The Wheat Pool really. #heyjon played Evergreen for the first song at his wedding!

Scott's House by Caledonia. One of my all-time early listening favourites.

Sweet Things by Danny Micehl. The very first song I added to my playlist, on the PRE-basement!

It was really great to get to know you better on Boat Party. I am sad I haven't been able to get back to NxNE (too expensive), but I will do it again and hopefully I'll be able to see you next time.

The transition to pre-recorded segments and produced featurettes doesn't mean the end of listener interaction, either. Who's to say they won't open up to listener suggestions and call in's, etc, the only difference is it won't be happening "live". But tweet away and reach out, they can potentially package those into new segments. Creativity is key here and I think that with the right people, the station can remain very good. If not better. Fingers crossed.

I'm hoping to land a new job so that I can go this year (I mean, not JUST so I can go), but we seem to travel in the same circle of international jet-setters and music/comedy fans. We'll always have Coco Cay.

@NLL - Oh god, I had a synopsis all written out for it too - because off the cuff is hard... It's a YA novel set on the boundary between this world and the otherworld, so things bleed between the edges...I'll see if I can dig up what I had previously written...

"Hey Grant, if an Iron Throne before you get here counts, can you play Plants and Animals - Good Friend? To the best of my recollection, I think that was the first R3 meet up show I went to with drock.If not... how about Luke Doucet - Long Haul Driver because it's full of Winnipeg references and is likely the first "R3" influenced album I bought.Or... Chromeo - Fancy Footwork because it always serves as a reminder that sometimes you need the radio to introduce you to new music repeatedly before you learn to love it."

@NLL - I FOUND IT! Here's the synopsis (though this may change in the future)

When Thomas Kent, angry and grieving, moved to the tiny New England town of Endicott Cove after the death of his parents, he intended to bide his time unnoticed, not stumble upon a gruesome mystery that connects him to the town he hates, and its dark history.

Something sinister lurks, waiting. When kids from his school start to go missing in the Old North Wood, only to return different – changed – he starts to suspect there's more happening than meets the eye. Bullies that used to pick on him don't any more. Friends become distant and aloof, and through it all, unrest is brewing in the town as a resources company tries to buy the nearby wood, which has a history of unexplained disappearances.

It's up to Thomas and the misfits he's fallen in with to figure out what secrets the Old North Wood holds, before it's too late.

Iron Throne

I posted this earlier Grant, but in case you didn't see it:

Hey Grant, if an Iron Throne before you get here counts, can you play Plants and Animals - Good Friend? To the best of my recollection, I think that was the first R3 meet up show I went to with drock.

If not... how about Luke Doucet - Long Haul Driver because it's full of Winnipeg references and is likely the first "R3" influenced album I bought.

Or... Chromeo - Fancy Footwork because it always serves as a reminder that sometimes you need the radio to introduce you to new music repeatedly before you learn to love it.

Or if none of those, anything by new Winnipeg band Greek Riots because we're supposed to be breaking new sound around here. :)

I haven't logged in for at least a year, let alone comment on the blog, but I never stopped listening.  Office bandwidth went into the toilet so I started using my phone to listen.  My Sirius satellite radio may as well only have two channels: CBC Radio 1 and Radio 3.  R3 has been a constant soundtrack to so many memorable road trips in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.  I always figured at some point Grant would move over to Radio 1 in a hosting gig, but didn't think the mic would go completely silent...or recorded.  Like others, I miss the days of the Vish-Craig-Grant-Lana-Lisa schedule, and the basement website. I hope the voting public Up North can put things right and maybe CBC's funding will be restored at some point, and live hosting will return.     In the meantime, I'll enjoy this "Irish Wake" of a final show!

THREE AWESOME AMBASSADORIAL VOICES OF CANADA ARE BEING SILENCED!  :(

After the next election hopefully a new Government will restore funding to CBC and our beloved hosts will come back.

Hey Grant, if an Iron Throne before you get here counts, can you play Plants and Animals - Good Friend? To the best of my recollection, I think that was the first R3 meet up show I went to with drock.

If not... how about Luke Doucet - Long Haul Driver because it's full of Winnipeg references and is likely the first "R3" influenced album I bought.

Or... Chromeo - Fancy Footwork because it always serves as a reminder that sometimes you need the radio to introduce you to new music repeatedly before you learn to love it.

Or if none of those, anything by new Winnipeg band Greek Riots because we're supposed to be breaking new sound around here. :)

Long time listener, first time Throner. I am shaking. For a bunch of different reasons. I tend to go for the offbeat. I usually defer to the Master for guidance. The fuzzy party nature of things so far puts me in a bit of Japandroids state of mind. So 'Young Hearts Spark Fire' if it is not too much trouble.

For those of you who are worried about the changes... let me let you in on a little something:

Back in the old website days, my work blocked the stream but I could still access the blog. Even without being able to hear the hosts or the music, I still had a FANTASTIC time connecting with the R3 community. Sure, it wasn't quite the same, but it's still possible.

(Plus it was way better that than what I have now because my work now blocks THE ENTIRE CBC music website.)

The only other thing I'll say is if the CBC remains on a tight budget, they need to realize their future is in younger audiences, and hosts who can connect to that audience.  Getting Shad to take up the helm for Q was a good move.  But I'd much rather hear Grant do a weekly live-hosted show than have to listen to human-owl Michael Enwright's old-man gripes on a Sunday morning, or have to listen to Randy Bachman spin mostly non-Canadian tunes on a Saturday afternoon.  Use what little funds you have wisely, CBC!!  If you alienate future voters, you'll won't have an audience left to advocate for you.

I usually defer to the Master for guidance. The fuzzy party nature of things so far puts me in a bit of Japandroids state of mind. So 'Young Hearts Spark Fire' if it is not too much trouble.

Re: #1172 & The Wheat Pool. I'll second that.

True story: with the Winnipeg/Brandon R3 group, the Wheat Pool will always be remembered as "those rowdy farmers." We were at the Dan Mangan show for the 2009 WCMA's and these guys in plaid get up on stage with Dan and were just raucous (but in a good way). Then we drove over to another venue to see the Wheat Pool play and those guys show up. I won't mention names but someone said "There's those rowdy farmers again!" Then we saw them get up on stage and pick up their guitars...

Plants and Animals are the bomb - because of R3 Loon Choir was asked to play Wapiti music festival in Fernie, BC - and Plants and Animals were headlining. They ended up being the nicest dudes, and actually invited me to jam with them on stage at a bar in Fernie after the festival. This was topped off by them giving me all their cds, and pounding PBRs and eating licorice with them after the bars closed down. This is probably one of my favorite memories I have ever had while on tour, and it is because of R3 that Loon Choir was even on Wapiti's radar! Thanks R3!

Okay, here's my live show farewell bit. Since we're all here anyway.

To Grant, Lana, Louise, Craig and all the part-time R3 hosts:

You have created a beautiful, magical thing here. You built, from the ground up, a worldwide community of indie music lovers that may have otherwise never come together. You have brought together a mishmash of professionals, students, artists, musicians and nomads into one place, each and every day, to celebrate music. And I think I speak for us all when I say we will be forever grateful.

And on a personal note, thank you for uniting me with so many wonderful, talented and amazing people. My soul is full thanks to their friendship. And even though live blogging is over, I still hope to connect with all of you on a regular basis here, and on a semi-regular basis in real life.

I broke up with (ok, got dumped by) my ex later that year and at the time it sucked but it turned out to be the best thing. knowing the R3gina crew helped for sure.Thanks dudes and dudettes.

With host-less radio, I wonder if there will be any effort made to ID the songs and the bands playing them, apart from the playlog, which we all know is erratic. Oh well, I guess we'll find it next week.

I'll never forget the feeling of honour and elation that came over me when Grant first read one of my blog comments on air. It was the feeling of being heard, the feeling that my voice mattered as a part of a larger conversation, the feeling of being welcomed into a tight-knit yet expansive community. That was about 5 years ago, and even though my blog activity was relatively short-lived, I feel so fortunate to have been a part of the R3 community throughout many of its incarnations.

I didn't think I was going to get emotional today, but seeing the Sasquatch photo in the timeline triggered a similar feeling of honour and inclusion, and reminded me of how much R3 meant to me at a time in my life when I was craving a sense of community.

Thanks for the memories Grant, brilliant members of the R3 team over the years, YVR3, and R3 community!

This has been such a great community, especially to me. The love and trust that folks showed my wife and I during our 5 month cross continent road trip in 2013 was just amazing. Huge thanks to the folks that let us stay with them: SethDallob, Lee Mcfflyer Hower, Lee's friend Tom, AirickAdams, Christine Cmac (who let us stay with her despite not being home!), Smalliebigs, KathyJean, CarlyG, Donna "ioweeda" Lowe and TheRadioHead.

When I think back to when I signed up and created a profile. I remember back to meeting @erinev and @Kidcauley

I had finished work or something but was supposed to be meeting up with a mutual friend to watch hockey. I don't care about hockey. Least of all the Sens. That's when I met both of them. They had R3 toques on/with them. IMMEDIATELY I noticed and started asking where/how/when/where to get them! That's when I learned about the benefits of creating an account. April 14, 2012 I created an account and for the next few months started making playlists that of songs that just came on, which I still do.

Finally I started taking part in the blogs. Never looked back. I can say that I have met some amazing people now because of R3.

Thank you to everyone who makes this community and thank you to the hosts that make these days fly by. I look forward with cagey anticipation for what comes next. I will always listen for as long as Radio 3 plays!

Just wanted to touch on MrFussyFont's comment at 1211:

I'm not going anywhere. I'm safe, unlike many of my friends and colleagues across the country. As a matter of fact, I'm hosting two shows. The Morning Edition, which is the daily morning drive show, and In The Key of C, a cross-Ontario music and arts show that airs outside of the GTA on Saturdays.

But, thanks for your concern. The station is will feel an impact, we're just not sure how.

OK, I need to get back to it for now. 

Before I miss my chance:

@Grant/Lana and all R3 hosts: to echo Erin's comments, thanks for helping turn some mediocre days into fun days. Thanks for many laughs and leading me to a heap of great music. We appreciate your work, your talent and your personalities.

As I type this, Lovely Allen comes on and I realize that my first comment might have been asking Grant what song it was. And here we are miles down that road with a lot of great times behind us. That's about enough sap. Thanks very much.

I hope this community outlives the first incarnation of platform that brought us together. And there's no reason why it shouldn't.

Now, to go write some angry letters. I'll pop back in later because, frankly, I can't help myself.

"Lovely Allen" was one of the first real Canadian indie songs that I remember made it big, in my eyes, when it got a ton of traction on HypeMachine.

As for "Meet Me In The Basement", I most definitely wrote an entire project on the song and its video for one of my undergraduate classes.

The first blogger I ever met was Cody Lobreau! I don't remember his blog name, but he's the other Brandonite blogger, and I didn't even know who he was before we communicated on the blog.

shout-out to Cody, who knows more about beer than anyone I know.

Hey Everyone, big thanks to Grant and all the R3 team.

While I'm not hugely active on the blog, and my interactions with R3 folk have been limited to ones I stumble across at concerts, this station has been the sound track to my life for 10 years now.

Podcasts on the phone, streaming the station at work, at home, while I'm reading, cleaning, or whatever, a majority of the music I own (and I own it thanks to R3) has come from stuff that R3 has introduced me to.

Thanks everyone, concerned about the future, but I'll be here.

Morning all. Barn burner. Won't be able to check back in for some time. Just had a beauty exchange on the train ride in with AlexOfAnders. I hoped on a pretty full one and mostly keeping my head down (tears and all that). Did look up though and saw him just as he looked up from sending me a text. Everyone is engrossed in their phones and the only noise is the movement. It's packed though and would have to do some serious barging to get to him. So we share that thought that maybe we shouldn't yell and smash people by text. Crazy world.

Keep sparking that fire folks. It's great Waltzing around with you.

The Iron Throne

I love that this became a tradition.

For those who don't know or have forgotten, I had just been to the Bell TIFF Lightbox for the first Game of Thrones tour where you could see some of the props and costumes. As a part of the tour, they had an Iron Throne you could sit in and have your photo taken.

I had just uploaded my photo as my profile pic and posted it with a triumphant "I HAVE CONQUERED THE IRON THRONE!" That comment happened to land on comment #1000. Hence, the Throne was born.

It wasn't until a few days and a few thrones later that someone started suggesting the commenter sitting in the Throne should be rewarded. Grant, in all his brilliance, took the idea and ran with it.

Fuck sake, I miss those guys, and you guys, and everything in between. Fuckin' hell R3 has been an amazing part of my life!!!!!When I moved in 2010 to Toronto I knew no one other than my best friend that I was living with (a non-R3 blogger), but I was quickly welcomed with open arms by ppl like Dawn and Allyson while living there and it made my 4 months of funemployment so amazing!!! I went to so many music festivals, and even did a crazy road trip with Dawn, Allyson and JON (M&T!!!) to Windsor to meet SO MANY MORE AMAZING PEOPLE. And the drive back to Toronto was incredible. So much bonding, so much love. How else would I have survived Toronto with you guys?!?!? Without R3?!?!? Without the Blog!!!! I wouldn't have!!!! 

You guys make me feel like myself.

So thanks guys. Thanks a million.

This led to an unforgettable summer – countless shows at Call The Office, the Home County Folk Fest, SappyFest (!!!), and NXNE (!!!) – all while meeting tons of awesome R3ers!

I've since moved from Edmonton to Toronto, where I continue to shove as much CanCon into my face as possible.

I tracked down their email address (on hotmail!) and got in touch with them. The Collapse morphed into The Wheat Pool and started one of the deepest musical loves I've ever had.That alone makes me eternally grateful to Radio3. How else could that happen?

I will tell you something else about this Japandroids song. It reminds me of Sam T, a former student. It is his birthday today. I saw that today on Facebook. We became friends on there awhile back. He lives in China now.     I remember I was listening to CBCR3 in class one afternoon and this song came on. Sam seemed to like it a lot. Awhile later he started playing guitar along with Steve, another kid in the class. They started a band and loved the Japandroids. They often came back to hang out with me and talk about music and stuff long after they got into high school, and now beyond. The connection we have came about partly because of Grant Lawrence. He played the music. That rippled out to me. It rippled beyond to the kids in my class and probably into China through Sam. I have always been a big believer in the power of ripples.

For Grant, who called me one of his favourite new singer-songwriters on the podcast after TIFF in 2009 and was pretty much the first quote I used in all press kits since - thank you.

For Lana, who insisted I take the black I (CBC) R3 shirt even though I insisted I'd never wear it (it's currently going strong having been worn almost weekly ever since, even surviving an ex having it but eventually giving it back) - thank you.

For Lisa, who gave me such an awkward look when I first met her and instantly hugged her and who kept me company on CBC Radio 1 in my car while I attended university one summer in Vancouver - thank you.

For Vish, who I was never awake early enough to tune in for - sorry!

And for Craig, who had me co-host and debut unmastered songs from I Made This For You before it was ever released, who met me for beers after I had returned from a European tour and left me slightly buzzed and jetlegged in Union Station without telling me how to use the subway (I was so green), who once gave me an extra R3 toque at Halifax Pop Explosion so I could give it to a girl to impress her (it impressed her - I did not), and who I once shared a lovely drive to and lunch in beautiful Guelph with - thank you.

Finally, to all the friends, fans, aquantinces, tourmates, collaborators, frenimies, and etc (heh) I've met because of CBC Radio 3/the blog - thank you, sincerely.

My R3 story: I got laid off from a job in corporate publishing, and began my own business, editing, working in a home office. I always listened to the radio when I had a regular office, but terrestrial radio. Being at home, with lots of bandwidth, I began looking in to international radio, and found I could get CBC, soon after discovered Radio 3. It's become my constant companion as I continue working from my home office. Thanks R3, Grant, et al.

oh man, Japandroids was my soundtrack for the first term of my Masters. They are actually responsible for the noise complaint I received from my neighbour, via a note in my mailbox. 

I'm actually kind of proud of that note, since I could probably have been my neighbour's mom.

@MoniSki - Monica, thanks again to coming to Toronto to join me when I went onto Craig's Listener Co-Host show in 2011.  You were a week away from leaving Canada, but I so appreciated finally meeting a friend.  And I was so honoured to do the voice work announcement when you were named the 2010 Fan of the Year.

We had never met in person and he just rolls up to the house and gives us these things.  You're a stand-up guy Grant and just as instructed I tossed that damn rockin' swing thing into traffic...one speed on that thing - jet engine thrust!  Who approved that thing for sale?!?

I'm hungover and have a bad heart burn. I lost my job this week but one thing that's kept me sane was music.

Today's a sad day. I remember back when it was announced Bande a part was going to be merged into Espace Musique - I knew it was the end of an era. I used to discover new french music from their podcasts and broadcasts - but not so much after it turned into Espace Musique, Bap disappeared completely. Now I'm still having a hard time discovering new French Canadian music.

I remember the days of Radio 3 when it was simultaneously broadcasted on Saturday evenings on Radio 2. I would mute Hockey Night in Canada and listen to Grant and Craig. I don't know how many times I tried to call in whenever there was a Trivia Tuesday or a Trivia Saturday, but all I remember is the only time I ever won anything was the final R3-30 on Radio Two.

I don't really talk about music much anymore as my true love is beer. I write about it in the local newspaper, I blog about it and I was even interviewed about it in Winnipeg Free Press the other day!

I don't recall who the first person I met was.. It was most likely Pat. that was back in 2006 for a DJ Champion/Malajube/YSP! concert in Winnipeg. I believe 80% of French St Boniface turned out for that show

Loweeda, Ceebeedweeb and Mackenzie and I all concert hopped - that is when I wasn't volunteering or schmoozing. I saw Dan Mangan so many times it was like as if we were BFFs just for that weekend.

Brandon's music scene is pretty uneventful now days. All the good musicians end up playing elsewhere

Hi all!! I haven't been on here in years, but I couldn't resist today. I can't listen, which is brutal, but I'm trying to keep up with the blog without getting caught (new job, don't want them to think I'm slacking).

Even though I haven't been active on the blog in a long time, I still cherish everything that CBC3 and all of you have done for me. I would be an entirely different person if I hadn't stumbled across a podcast in 2008 that led me to this station. Meeting so many of you has created many of the highlights of my life. 2011 will likely go down as the best year of my life, meeting many of you in Vancouver, going to HCFF and meeting even more of you, and going to LA to see Tim and chase Kevin Drew. It feels like the end, but at the same time, once my hubby and I finally get our finances figured out, our plan is to be at every folk fest ever, and see everyone again.

Love you all, and can't wait to see you again soon!

My first meetup with a blogger was the infamous TB3. Him and his wife graciously invited me to London to see Wilco. I still mark that date on my kitchen calendar and make sure to ping him. I got a full tour of the gorgeous Aeolian Hall and the city in general, enjoyed my favourite band with two of my now favourite people (we had separate seats but texted to each other), slept on the couch and woke as their home daycare started to hum. It was a great start to an even greater friendship.

#2130 - I think Scar that Never Heals was one of the first songs that got me hooked on the podcasts. I was already familiar with Jeremy Fisher from when I listened to the Canadian rock/pop stream on Iceberg Radio back around 2003. I was so pleased he was still around making music (because I knew nothing about the indie scene back then.)

Even the Tories in the UK seem tame by BBC's comparisons - hell they still have 6 radio stations. In Canada, we are down to 2, online streaming, and a blog. And it seems the rest of CBC radio and TV is to go as well.

So what song to pick from 15 years of must listening? How about one about a magical 'myriad harbor' from the New Pornographers? We need a magical place to retreat and set sail again to another city. Great work Grant. Great work R3. We will miss you a lot, a lot, a lot....

Throne Song(s)

This is a toughie. My heart wants Basia, so I'd like to hear Basia Bulat- "In the Night," one of my first favorite songs. Meeting her was the most tongue-tied I'd ever been until I met Jill Barber.

If that won't work, I'd take The Sadies- "What's Left Behind"

And if that doesn't work, I'll take Ivan Hrvatska- "Make Love to CBC Radio 3"

Sloan was all over Much Music in the old days and so pretty much everyone my age knows all of the words to all of the songs. the fact they've kept rockin' (saw them 2 maybe 3 years ago, still killed it) is amazing. they should just keep on trucking basically.

Grant!!!!!

Unfortunately, I have to leave and probably will miss you last sign-off. I know you're going to be around in social media form next week, but we all know it won't be the same.

Just want to say it's been a blast. That timeline has made me realize how long I've been listening to this stuff, because I found it via the Live Concerts site, many, many years ago. You have exactly the right personality and temperament to deal with the finicky and rather boisterous listeners that R3 has. Some of the crap you've had blasted your way...man...I don't know how you do it.

Your lovely wife - who NEVER won the sexiest musician Bucky despite my annual campaign to make it happen - put it best when she described everything you've put into this community. It's an amazing and unique place.

anyway, off to spend the afternoon with my youngest because it's his birthday.

Some things are more important than music...

@Frankus [#3009] - that's one of the things that in a world of "on-demand" we don't get to experience as much any more: a single, collective, magical experience.  Yes, there are sports on TV I guess, and maybe the Oscars and such, but this is uniquely special.

I was more active on this blog around 2011-2012. WHen I first joined in the fray, I was welcomed with such warmth -- this community has never failed to impress me with how everyone is so open, welcoming, friendly, and there is absolutely no judgement. It's so rare to find that online (and offline!) and I am so, so grateful for that. And, of course, it goes without saying that it's just opened up worlds in terms of all the amazing music that I've been introduced to.

So thank you, thank you, thank you for that. <3

@Sless [#3348] - I think they need to record about 10-15 clips of Grant doing the "Ohhh Helllloo!" and, without any explanation, ever, play them every weekday at noon EST.  Just to honour the hosts and what the station has been since 2003.

Hey gang, I only have the quickest of lunch breaks today, but I thought I should stop in to say hi.

I just wanted Grant and Lana and the other past hosts to know how much Radio 3 has influenced my life. Without it, I wouldn't have most of the friends I have today, I probably wouldn't have travelled to Toronto (and realized I like the big city us west coasters make fun of), I wouldn't be able to say that I got to cohost a national podcast one time, I wouldn't have gone to 95% of the concerts I've gone to in my life (that's on the magnitude of hundreds of concerts), and without that I probably would have never joined the band I'm in now or gotten into concert photography. All this because of the community that Radio 3 built and without the on air hosts and live shows I firmly believe a place like this would have never been created. Thanks you guys. Even though I don't get much of a chance to join in for the live shows much anymore, I'm gonna miss you.

You guys are lucky to have a really booming beer industry in Sask, we're still waiting on Farmery to hurry the eff up and build a brewery!

When I moved to Edmonton in the summer of 2004 I moved into a house with some dudes I worked with but didn't know.  I was playing the Weakerthans and he was like "I think we're going to be friends" and then I showed him my CD collection.

Ladyhawk's album was in there and we turned it up and drank a lot and celebrated and then he let me know he used to smoke pot and play PS2 with them in Kelowna.

Small world. Great world.

One time in Vancouver my buddy and I were going to go to a Bison show or something but we got too drunk and ended up in my hotel's bar.  There was karaoke going on so naturally we signed up to sing some Michael Jackson.

Before we got up though, this bearded dude comes stumbling through the doorway. It was duffy from ladyhawk. We went up to him and were all like "man I'm wearing your shirt right now" and he's all like "how do you know kevin? this is his birthday party"

Anyway. We ALMOST got him to sing thriller with us. We left before it was our turn to sing because we couldn't just crash Kevin's party.

@Grant, I think I've mentioned it before, but you've done something very unique over the last few years for me: I wasn't your biggest fan listening to the show at first, but your enthusiasm, humour, and great taste in Canadian music have turned me into someone who routinely tunes in to hear you and the great music you play(ed) here on CBC Radio3. Your interaction with everyone on the blog, the way you made us all feel special and involved us in everything - that's been priceless. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.

Weeks after I first jumped on the blog, I had my first anxiety attack that I actually identified as such. It has been a years-long battle, and still ongoing, but I now have most of it under control.

I cannot put to words just how important a role Radio 3 has played in making that possible. When I was at my lowest, this incredible community took my hand and helped pull me to my feet.

Thank you, each and every one of you.

I listen every day at work, and it won't be the same when I tune in next Monday. A radio station isn't a really a radio station without live hosts. I'm hoping that the CBC will realize what a big mistake they've made, and bring back the hosts.

HI LANAA!!!!!!!! 

Just wanted to tell you that I remember commenting back in the day for the first time on one of your shows, and I remember you reading out the comment and I was like "What! She said my name!!!" It was one of the coolest moments, and it forever hooked me onto R3!!!! I remember you saying Happy Birthday to me on air once too when I first moved to Toronto, and that felt special as well. Can't believe listeners won't get that feeling after today! You brought the sun, and it's been great having you live on the air :) You're amazing person, and your voice will be missed!!!!!

Thank you so much for being such a great host! I loved your interviews with guests and your little tid-bits of music knowledge. Because of you I've been able to talk about Canadian music and its artists and seem like a PRO!

While it is that live hosting is coming to an end. I look forward to hearing more from you and Grant on the other side.

Monday is my birthday and since the news broke about the end of live hosting, I have not been looking forward to it because it means. Sad I know, but change happens, no matter who's birthday it is.

I just want to say I will really miss live hosting.  I have not been a consistent listener, but for years, whenever my days jobs have allowed, I have tuned in as much as possible, and worked to the sound of radio 3 live hosting shows.Every time my blog comments were read aloud, it astonished me to be able to have such a family feel to a radio program that was reaching people all over the world.   And the Fashion Fightclub episode with the bracket competition to determine the ultimate article of clothing is something I will remember forever.I love the music, but is has felt more connected because of the personalities of the hosts, and how it was possible to engage in the conversation and affect the course of the show.I will really miss that.

Reposting this because it was lost in the flood (of posts and tears) at the end of Grant's show and I really want you all to see it.

Weeks after I first jumped on the blog, I had my first anxiety attack that I actually identified as such. It has been a years-long battle, and still ongoing, but I now have most of it under control.

I cannot put to words just how important a role Radio 3 has played in making that possible. When I was at my lowest, this incredible community took my hand and helped pull me to my feet.

Thank you, each and every one of you.

In my opinion one of the good things to come from the internet (and there are lots) is creating relatively safe spaces for people who are struggling to talk and express themselves.

I had decided not to go to DFA because it was too costly, Lana told me that I should sacrifice to see it, that I would regret it if I didn't. 

But thanks to someone's generosity I DID get to go! And her advise was wise indeed, that show was a course changer.

Going to TO one year for family stuff and got a message from TB3. Julie Doiron/Ladyhawk/Cons were playing CTO on that Friday. He had a +1 and let me crash on his chesterfield sofa. We had only met ONCE before at the aforementioned PhogPhest. My first set list ever.

@Lana- I wasn't allowed to talk about it before, but I wanted to apologize for not mentioning you in my video bit. It was a mini-nightmare recording it to begin with, and I only realized that I'd forgotten to throw in a shout out to you after I had recorded my first decent take (after many, many attempts). Just know that your work on R3 has been a huge part of what has kept me coming back. Grant was an acquired taste for me, but I've been bananas for Lanarama from day one. Thanks!

I feel the same as Wapuche in 4716! My decision to record ANY video was so impulsive, and I had to just record and send it before I second-guessed myself. Seconds after I did that, I thought, "dammit, I didn't even mention Lana!"

But you have also been a constant voice in my life, even if I haven't blogged as much to let you know that. And I thank you immensely for that voice. I look forward to hearing it in new ways.

#4970 @124th—Grant signed off with the Weakerthans' Left and Leaving. After he'd signed off, it was Old Man Luedecke, "I Quit My Job."

@Lana things are alright.  Your last song has me stumped, to be honest.  You always play such a varied mix of music that I can't nail down what I think you're going to play.  Grant already played Weakerthans (although they make wonderful melancholy music)...so probably something you can dance out the door to.  That's my guess.

It was my fathers last radiation treatment today though so I had to be there- feeling very emotional, end of an era here, but also really happy with my dad getting through this.

I know it's been said before but I wish that R3 would go the way of NPR and I could just donate to the station to keep it going in a postive (hosted) direction.

When I did my Vancouver and Victoria trip, I asked Boders and Lucas for their contact info for my mom in case something happened to me. (She was worried I was staying with online friends I'd never met before.) Lucas was all like, "oh your mom wants to make sure we're not psychopaths. That's totally cool, here you go."

Him and Marley were such a lovely couple to stay with. Considering how big of a zombie I was after a whirlwind of 4 days doing an organized tour of the island, they were so good about making sure I still got to do stuff despite my zombie-ness and didn't make fun of me at all for falling asleep in the movie theatre because I was so sleep deprived.

The people who are great on radio make fantastic use of non verbal vocals and sounds, such as breathing, swallowing, etc. For example, Garrison Keillor: his nose breathing, and the sound he makes when he opens his mouth to make an utterance, are a key aspect of his radio story telling.

I might have had an extra beer, but I think the last host break was a perfect application of that. You could tell they were eating nachos without hearing the chips breaking or lip smacking.

I'm not sure where I'm going with this...

Thanks for all the fun today everyone. It's been way too long since I've been around and I'm glad it just so happened I had the day off for R3's last host filled day. It was always so comforting knowing I could tune in and hear Lana or Grant when I was off sick. Now... well as I said before, my work used to block the stream but the blog was still around, so it'll be a bit deja vu for me, but it won't be the same without hearing my friends online.

for the lazy, the law is from 1993. The Tories started enforcing it in recent elections, because they're dicks. It was challenged and parts of it were struck down by an Ontario court judge. There was a hearing before the Ontario Superior court in January of this year (the highest court in Ontario), and the ruling is expected in May.

A few more hits from reddit for yas'all: the first one is the initiator

Thomas Beecham described the Harpsichord as sounding like "two skeletons copulating on a tin roof". Have you got any other weird but spot on descriptions of sound?

The Theremin: "A cello lost in a dense fog, crying because it does not know how to get home."

I always thought the theremin sounded like a really drunk viola trying to tell an elaborate joke that it can't remember very well so it keeps back tracking. That and a space dolphin. 

In Angels in America, an Oboe was described as "what a duck would sound like if it were a song-bird"

the bassoon sounds like a goose.

The contrabassoon sounds like the goose you fight as the final boss. The Endgoose.

O.k., that's enough.

Ho man this is it.  Ok I'm going to try to avoid the water works I feel like I have so much left to say and so many people to thank and I wish I could hug every single person that has got in touch today.  And if there's one thing we know it's that music connects people.  It brings us together in homes, in venues, in hearts, and I know it sounds cheesy but it's true.  How could you trust someone who doesn't have a favourite song?I've been lucky enough to be a host at Radio 3 for almost a quarter of my life.    And I can't express the amount of gratitude I have to the bands, the listeners, the wonderful people that work at Radio 3 behind the scenes every day.  I am eternally grateful for all of these experiences and adventures and especially thankful for you, the audience.  You have taught me that if you are lucky enough to do what you are passionate about, you will try your best, you will fight a good fight, and you will find your people, your group.  Whether they are in your city or on a blog or playing to ten people in basement bar in Thunder Bay, you will find them.  Like what no one else likes because in your heart you think it's great.  Support people who have sacrificed to share their art and their music with you.  Stick for the underdogs, stay curious.  Radio 3 was special, it is special and it will remain, it will just be different.  Change is inevitable and change is good.  We'll see you in the other side of this.  Radio 3 will still be around and be a place for you to listen to the best in Canadian independent music.Whoo.On behalf of everyone at Radio 3, thank for you listening.  This song seemed to be a perfect fit for this kind of "see you later," I'll call it.  Check out the lyrics, and don't forget to dance.  I'm Lana Gay, thank you again for everything, stay in touch.  This is Hooded Fang, with Land of Giants, on CBC Radio 3.

Good morning everyone! Love the logo Garry!

I can't listen or blog at work, but believe me, Lee fills me in on what's happening on the blog and in the CBC Radio 3 world every day. The crazy great music is always playing at home, and of course, there's Facebook. I'm so sorry the live hosts are a thing of the past, but I'm happy and blessed that you welcomed me into the fold. The joy, music, and friends Lee brought into my life via Radio 3 my life blows me away. Love you everyone! The welcome mat is always out at the Lil Luxor.

No he did hold him up a bit. I ended up watching the replay this afternoon. There was quite the downpour for most of Q2 and all of Q3.

two spaces after a full stop is a holdover from typewriters and monospaced fonts. With proper kerning of modern typefaces it makes no sense.

oh right. I guess I only ever caught the tail end of his show, what with the size of the country and all

did Jay Ferguson have a name for his show when he hosted, or was he always under the banner of "guest host"? he's the only other one from the old days who I can think of who did a fair bit of hosting

oh, and Chris Alscher - the guy with the funny voice. I remember someone complaining about him once

I think Jay and Chris Alscher were only ever guest hosts. Jay did it a fair bit, actually.

I remember it because one of his blog topics was "who would play the movie versions of us?" and it had every host in the country, including those on the west coast logged in to Jay's show, which was early.

Chris was in YVR and filled in for YVR hosts when they were away

Back from a trip up to the foothill wineries, which you know about if we're Facebook friends.   However, I am stunned that while we lost one, but unexpectedly gained one back.  We've lost CBC Radio3 live hosting, as we well know, but today, Sunday, something returned.

Being my age, I grew up in the age of classic Top 40 Radio in the US - and Canada. For years, one of my other favourite spots on the web was www.reelradio.com, an on-line museum of Top 40 radio. At first, the curator just put "scoped" airchecks, or recordings of radio shows on the site. Scoped means to remove all of the music, so you'd only hear the host breaks, the jingles, the commercials, everything but the full songs. Files were smaller - and it was legal. But after awhile unscoped exhibits were presented, and clearly were vastly more popular. Suddenly, you could go back and listen to an hour of The Reel Don Steele on 93KHJ in Los Angeles from 1967, and hear everything that radio was that day, that hour. A true snapshot in time. But it was technically illegal, or at least violated some copyright restrictions. The site ran for years that way, until last year, the industry clamped down on the site, and all unscoped exhibits were blocked. It seemed wrong that an hour of radio and the Top40 music that made it, could not be exhibited for on demand listening, especially since many of these songs were long out of print, unavailable, and virtually unknown. Well, today, Sunday, March 29, the exhibits were restored. Something was done between reelradio and the recording industry that has permitted it. I'm thrilled!

When there was something on Radio3 that I didn't care for, I'd go over to reelradio and jump back in time, now I have a place to go to again, and it's 1967... or 1978 or 1963, and I'm listening to radio from San Francisco, or Denver or Chicago or Toronto. I may have lost live hosted radio on Radio3, but I gained something back on reelradio.

If you're at all interested in some of the best radio ever, I invite you to pay a visit to www.reelradio.com. However, because the site still has to pay licensing fees to play this music, it requires a membership. It's not much, a minimum membership is $12 per year - a dollar a month. But if you're interested in radio history, I invite you to check it out. Incidentally, there are now 3,272 radio exhibits available on demand. Maybe you will understand why I considered CBC Radio3 the best radio I ever heard, but there is so much else here!
