Anyway, this Friday night I decided to flip through and, surprise surprise, ended up on FLOW 93.5, Toronto’s only exclusive hip hop, r&b and reggae radio station. However, they were playing house music. I’ve got to admit, I love house music. And this was sick house music. I was feeling it, and wondering where Flow was broadcasting from. After about a hype 20 minute set the DJ came on and started to speak. It was one DJ Tricky Moreira. That’s when things turned shitty. He sat there and spoke over the music for a good 20 minutes. TWENTY GOD DAMN MINUTES. Does this guy not understand the concept of a radio station? People tune in to hear MUSIC. Not Tricky Moreira. Music. Tricky proved that he’s an extremely talented DJ, without a doubt, but someone needs to tell him to just shut up and play music. It was brutal hearing him ramble on and on about pointless drivel. The worst was when he started promoting him self to women. It was pathetic. He sounded like an e-harmony commercial. I had to change the station ’cause while the music he was playing was dope, the man just wouldn’t shut up.
Then there was Saturday night. I’m sitting down with a beer, along with my paps, enjoying the first period of the Leafs and Canucks hockey game. Then came the first intermission and a couple of Canadian icons, Don Cherry and Ron Maclean. I used to be a Don Cherry fan, when I was younger. Now, not so much. He did his thing, and went off on yet another rant about head shots. However, he placed the blame squarely on European players. The basis of his argument was that European players come into the NHL with their visors, or sheilds as Cherry likes to call them, and change the culture of the game.
Tricky Moreira & Don Cherry, please, SHUT UP.
