Behind the Beat with special guest Joel Nickel

I realize it's been a while since I've done one of these posts, and there's a damn good reason; we haven't done a show for the past two weeks.  We missed the first one because all first-year CreComm students were at the Winnipeg Press Club that night, and Al was out of town last week, while I was off playing back-to-back indoor soccer games. 

We didn't have a theme this week, since we've been busy working on a radio drama series for our Creative Writing class.  We just came in and played a bunch of songs that we like.  And as you can see/hear in the show, our good friend Joel Nickel joined us in the studio tonight.  Way back when Behind the Beat was still just a brain-fart Al and I had after a few too many afternoon beers at The King's Head (initially called "The Superior Sound of Vinyl", which was scraped after we realized our vinyl resources were limited), Joel was kind enough to have us as guests on his own radio show, Guerrilla Ontology.  He brought us back when Behind the Beat became official so we would have a chance to promote the show before it started, and we really appreciated what he had done for us.  Having him as our guest was the least we could do.  And we specialize in doing the least we can do.  Check Joel out on Thursday evenings at 6 pm on 92.9 Kick-FM
