2nd Annual Black History Month Special!!

Wow!  This is really an episode of Oracle that could knock your socks off!  A whole show dedicated to the funky, fuzzy sounds of various parts of Africa.  Mostly Nigeria though, I guess they were just more prolific or, at the very least the albums were better preserved.  In any case...it was a labour of love putting it all together.  Hope you enjoyed it.  If you missed out, have no fear.  Downloading the show is always available at www.cjam.ca

A Little Love Goes A Long Way...

Well, as a last minute decision I went with a love theme to celebrate Valentines Day.  I guess it just works, for tomorrow is that very day where people will, for the most part over-spend on needless things or worry too much about a lack of love.  Have no fear.  Love comes in many forms and is for everyone.  On Oracle, I took the time to emphasize music that showcases all aspects of love from the romantic and gushy to the surreal and heartbreak.  It's the good, the bad and the ugly.  Always groovy and entertaining to the last.  This is for people who are ambivilant to the so-called special day and who dig good vibes all the year through.
