Feel the drumbeats of life's great symphony with the rhythm maestro, Chiko Misomali  as he joins me on the latest Music Junkies episode. As someone whose musical heartbeat has fueled the likes of Biff Naked and resonated in games and commercials, Chiko brings a playlist that's the soundtrack to his life's milestones. We kick off reminiscing about our musical roots in Vancouver's concert scene, revel in the power chords of '80s rock, and share a love for the electrifying Vancouver Canucks. Our laughter echoes over past guitar fumbles and those recorder classes that we all endured and somehow survived. Chiko's career, with its untold middle years, is a reminder that some beats are best felt rather than spoken.The session takes an intimate turn as we explore the diverse tunes that have twisted through Chiko's life, from the smooth vibes of Nat King Cole to the aggressive riffs of Arabic death metal. Van Halen's anthems form a significant motif in our discussion, as we dissect the band's transformative journey through the Roth and Hagar eras. It's a celebration of live gigs that etch themselves into memory, milestones marked by concerts and records that continue to reverberate in our lives. These stories are more than just music memories; they're the chapters of our existence, each one punctuated by the tracks that defined them.Our rhythm strides into the realm of sports and manifestation, recounting how belief can be as potent as any game strategy. The Anaheim Ducks' victory tale, witnessed firsthand, carries the energy of anthemic sing-alongs and the undeniable power of a positive mindset. We discuss how terms like "busy" have become badges of honor, yet we pause to appreciate the quieter, joyful moments provided by our canine friends. The conversation spans the wisdom of filtering negativity and embracing the music within, guiding us to harmonize our environments and souls. So, tune in and let Chiko's drum beats and our shared stories set the tempo for your own musical journey.More about chikoland Here Listen to the playlist on SpotifyWatch the episode on YouTubeFollow Music Junkies everywhereMake sure to HIT that LIKE BUTTON and SUBSCRIBE to our Channel to be notified of new episodes! If you love Music Junkies share it !!We always have a new episode every Monday at 1 pm Rock on! Music JunkiesSupport the Show.

Bif Naked is so many things: rock star, activist, tattooed lady … survivor. How Beth Torbert, the daughter of missionary parents adopted in India, came to be Bif Naked, the artist we know today, is a story of courage and resilience. Born in secrecy, hidden away in a mental hospital, a victim of abuse, addiction and then breast cancer, Bif found her way, and she tells us her story, or stories, because there are many. We talk about mothers, drugs, kindness, creativity, and, of course, tattoos. Bif Naked is immediately recognizable as one of Canada's most remarkable artists. Throughout her long and varied career, leading a punk rock band in Vancouver, releasing ten albums, multiple film and TV roles, and a cancer diagnosis at the age of 37, Bif has seen and done it all.

We were first introduced to Delyn by seeing her on a night of live music where all of the artists were individually picked by the legendary Bif Naked. She absolutely blew us away by her infectious stage presence and musical style that replicates the spirit of iconic hard rock acts of the past. In this conversation we hear about her latest single "Head To The Sky", talk about learning to let go as a performer and to "Not Give a F**k!", and how such a young lady was inspired to tap into this throwback style of 90's rock/grunge with a modern twist.

Prior to 2021, former members of Canadian rock band The Mailman's Children joined forces with other artists to record 23 original songs. At the top of 2021, the newly formed Pop Rock band surfaced as Hello Fiasco.​Hello Fiasco is considered Canadian-American because its frontman Eric LaBossiere (born Canadian) lives in Helena, Montana (USA). The rest of the band lives in Winnipeg, including Joel Couture (bass), Joel Perreault (lead guitars/backing vocals), Ivan Burke (drums), and Guy Abraham (keys/Ableton/backing vocals). Since its official release this summer, the band's debut album "Find The Shoreline" has earned 3,000,000 streams, and been placed on over 6,000 Spotify playlists. The album's first single, “Hold Me Close” has earned 700,000 streams, and 190,000 views on the official YouTube video, and the song is currently receiving XM, terrestrial, internet, Cable and TV radio airplay in over 25 countries. The album itself was co-produced by both LaBossiere and award-winning producer John Paul Peters (Propagandhi, Comeback Kid, Faouzia, Cancer Bats, Begonia). Notably, the album was mastered by American Grammy-winning engineer Randy Merrill of Sterling Sound (Imagine Dragons, Cage The Elephant, Muse, Bieber, Adele, Lady Gaga). Because the band prides itself on coming from the side of Pop Rock where the quality of lyrics, music and originality still stands for something, HF has been compared to Panic! At The Disco, Fall Out Boy, The Killers, Franz Ferdinand and David Bowie. HF's first performances include a sold-out headlining show at Canada's renowned Festival du Voyageur, as well as an opening slot for The Watchmen, I Mother Earth and Bif Naked at Winnipeg's Burt Block Party. The band is currently in the process of scheduling its first North American tour dates for 2023. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This past month was breast cancer awareness month and in the last episode we did the entertainment part, with an interview with musician and Bif Naked (who is herself a breast cancer survivor). Today we will be doing a deep dive into breast cancer. Asif starts out by mentioning that a lot of the main points for the episode today were informed by a conversation with Dr. Tulin Cil, breast surgical oncologist from the University of Toronto. Ali starts off by asking how common breast cancer is and what the main symptoms are. They then discuss the age it occurs and what the risk factors are for developing it. Asif specifically discusses the genetic risk factors and how “dense” breasts can predispose you to breast cancer. Asif then talks about how it is diagnosed and treated, as well as the prognosis, which is much better for those diagnosed early. They then discuss some “hot button” topics in breast cancer, including lowering the age of screening to 40, as well as the issue of prophylactic mastectomy.    The opinions expressed are those of the hosts, and do not reflect those of any other organizations.

On top of her life in music, Bif is also an author, poet, actor, yoga devotee, straight-edge vegan, cancer survivor, and quite simply an instantly recognizable,  tattoo-bedecked, colossal presence in Canadian pop culture. And she's got a new album on its way, Champion; which, as we'll hear, is maybe her most ambitious project ever. On this episode, we hear from the always-candid Bif Naked all about the hardscrabble world of DIY prairie punk rock; how beating cancer shaped her artistic journey; what's it like to be back "home" on the road; and what it's like to have influenced, inspired and empowered generations of young people, over her nearly three decades as a recording artist.

What comes to your mind when you hear the words “Doug and the Slugs”? If you live in Canada and grew up in the 1970s and 1980s, you probably think of one of the hottest party bands of the era fronted by the unlikeliest of rockstars: the late, great Doug Bennett. And you probably smile, because songs like “Too Bad” and “Real Enough” and “Making It Work” and “Day By Day” and their accompanying music videos were fun, and because Slugmania was real.You can revisit the songs and the men who made them in Doug and the Slugs and Me, a fascinating and fun documentary by Vancouver filmmaker Teresa Alfeld about the man that publicist-turned-MuchMusic VJ Denise Donlon describes in the film as “more a carnie than a sex symbol.” The film follows the rise of the Vancouver band and its frontman through archival footage, interviews with band members, Doug's family, and icons like Ed the Sock, Bif Naked, Ron Sexsmith, and Sir Bob Geldof. We also hear from Doug himself through the journals he left behind. Doug and the Slugs and Me is a film about the Slugs, about music, making music, legacy, friendship, ego, dreams, grief, and the documentarian's starting point, namely: “What happened to this man we thought we knew?”Documentarian Teresa Alfeld – who grew up next to the Bennett family and was best friends with one of Doug's daughters – visits the YVR Screen Scene Podcast to talk about Doug and the Slugs and her remarkable film, which screens at the 2022 DOXA Documentary Film Festival.

Welcome back to Filipino Fridays! We have an incredible episode featuring the award-winning journalist of CBC Radio One, Michelle Eliot. Michelle joins us to talk about Filipino representation in broadcast media and how it impacts our community. We talk about how her immigrant experience has influenced her approach in telling stories in the media, which would include asking thoughtful questions where our community and other communities of color are well represented without being "othered". By representing the experience of many others, we talk about how meaningful it is to be a voice and perspective that brings light to the immigrant experience. Michelle also takes us through the journey of her career in journalism and talks about the most exciting part of hosting a live radio show. We discuss Mabuhay BC - a feature launched in CBC during Filipino Heritage Month in Canada that focuses on stories about the robust and diverse Filipino community. From articulating the kinship and bond between the Filipino and indigenous community, to highlighting the meaning or stories behind our Filipino names and also talking about issues that reflect the Filipino people. We chat about pushing the Filipino story forward, increasing the diversity in our stories and our responsibility as an immigrant in this community and how we can be in solidarity and kapwa with others. Lastly, Michelle shares her go-to karaoke song and what Filipino food items would be found on her boodle fight (kamayan). ABOUT MICHELLE ELIOT Michelle Eliot is the host of CBC Radio One's B.C. mid day open line show, BC Today. Michelle is an award-winning journalist with CBC Radio One, and has become a familiar voice as a regular guest host on regional and national programs, interviewing community members and prominent politicians, as well authors and musicians such as Douglas Coupland and Bif Naked. But her true passion is for the open line, where her skill at engaging callers probes further into their viewpoints and digs deeper into their personal stories. Her work has been recognized by the RTDNA and the Jack Webster Foundation, winning awards for her team's coverage of the ongoing overdose crisis and the 2017 NDP and Green Party deal. She has also received nominations for her story about immigrants learning to swim later in life, and for her profile of a well-loved woman in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside who died of an overdose. Michelle was born in the Philippines and moved to Canada with her family at 12-years old, settling in North Vancouver. Her experience as a young immigrant planted the seed of understanding for people whose lives are changed by new circumstances. She studied English Literature at the University of British Columbia and went on to study Broadcast Journalism at the British Columbia Institute of Technology before joining CBC Vancouver in 2000. Michelle is married with two children. She enjoys joining community events like the Vancouver Sun Run and the Pride Parade. As the parent of a child with special needs, she also likes to participate in events in the disability community. ​Aside from enjoying running, ​Michelle is also ​an avid reader, a lover of spontaneous dance parties, and an unabashed fan of old school hip hop music.
