Thanks to my badgering and constant annoyance to station boss Rick Baverstock, two tracks that I handed to him are now playing on the air waves of 92.9 KICK FM. Check out both Said the Whale-This Winter I Retire and Two Hours Traffic-Backseat Sweetheart, now on the KICK FM playlist.
Backseat Sweetheart just happens to be this week's song of the week, so stay tuned this Friday on the Ministry of Indie for that. See you then!

Killer Tunage Track, Said the Whale: March 8/08
Ahoy thar everyone!
Busy times here at the Ministry of Indie, I've been had at work trying to procure as many copies of fantastic Canadian bands' music as possible. Unfortunately, some in the Canadian Government (mainly those bastard conservatives) think that the Ministry of Indie doesn't deserve the funding to purchase said music. They said something about needing it to buy "weapons grade plutonium" and "to keep the gays from marrying." Whatever Stephen Harper.
Anywho, last week's song of the week is by a band that comes from the swash-buckling shores of British Columbia, and the "collective brainchild" of Ben Worcester and Tyler Bancroft. They recently turned into a 5-piece band and are now touring Canada. I got the opportunity to see them last weekend at the Albert (best venue ever) playing with Two Hours Traffic and The Paperbacks, and these guys definitely kick some ass. I think it says a lot about a band when their bio is written in proverb form.
From saidthewhale.com: " When the moon was young and the month was May I came across a great animal seven leagues off the shoals of the Grand Banks, amidst high winds and high seas. For nineteen days we'd been sailing, and ne'er the sight of anything larger than a dolphin, let alone a Blue over twice the length of our schooner."
Wow, read the rest at their website saidthewhale.com
