New week. New radio show.
Marvel at the technical difficulties! Sing along to songs you don’t know, songs you do know but never wanted to sing, and hum along to the sound effects.

This website would be visually boring without Suzanne Baumann.
Let’s see…
First, the header images (look up, look up), Suzanne did those.
The Friendly Persuasion Logo? Suzanne again.
Imagery for 95% of the first run of the 365 Days Project in 2003? Guess who? Hmmmm.
Comfort Stand cover art? Exactly!
Articles? You know it.
Thanks Suzanne for all of the pretty pictures over the years!
Suzanne who? As a child in Clarkston, MI, Suzanne Baumann covered the family refrigerator with countless word-and-picture concoctions. Having no refrigerator in college, she channeled her creative energy into mini-comics instead. A fondness for all things handmade has kept her cartooning, printing, folding and stapling since 1995. When she’s not making comics, Suzanne is out people-watching or paying the bills as a graphic designer and illustrator. Go on, order some comics.

Flipped Out Phil (contributor of some groovy character talkover spots on the Friendly Persuasion show) has launced his new website!
Check out Flipped Out Phil’s Subterranean Jungle,
http://www.flippedoutphil.com
Subterranean Jungle was a rock ‘n’ roll radio show that aired on CKUT-FM in Montreal between 1985 and 1999! On Flipped Out’s Mad Musical Menu: Swingin’ Sixties Soul, Surf & Spy Flick Music, Carnaby Street British Beat, Mod R’N'B & Psych, and a whole heapin’ helpin’ of gritty garage-rock action from the sixties right up to the late nineties!
Four shows have been posted (from the mid-1990s) with more to come in the future,

Groovy Graphical Layout was by Sophie Cossette. You can read more about Sophie here (see the cover illustration she did for Girls in the Garage Volume 10 vinyl LP) and here (she did a number of posters for my better half, Mimi la twisteuse’s monthly DJ night Zoi Zoi a few years back).

Adam O’Callaghan is stopping by the studio this week to spin vinyl on the Friendly Persuasion Radio Show.
When?
Friday January 29
3pm to 6pm
(Eastern Standard Time – GMT-5) montreal
See the starting time in your city by clicking here.
Where?
W W W . D F M . N U
160K STREAM – MP3/REAL/WIN
Adam will be bringing a stack of vinyl covering many genres. My best guess is prepare to hear funk, disco, jazz, swing, exotica, lounge, percussion, and cool and incredibly strange slabs of wax.
If you miss the live broadcast, the show will be archived for one week on this website.
New to the radio show… Read more here.
