!earshot year-end picks 2005

James Tuohy

It's James Tuohy from Jimmy Twilight's Lonesome Lounge at Radio CFUV in Victoria B.C. The show just celebrated it's 7th anniversary, currently airing Sunday nights from 10 PM to 1:00 AM PST, featuring a weird mix of vintage Loungecore, found sound, crank calls and orphaned vinyl. Deservedly called "the loneliest man in radio". Remember, it's Sinatra's world, baby...we just live in it

Best CD of the Year
My pick for favorite album of the year, while technically a 2004 release, is Vancouver's self titled Pink Mountaintops. This one enjoyed heavy rotation all year long. Tight yet unpretentious, my only complaint about this playful little gem is it's over too soon. Sexytime!!   

Best personal campus/community radio moment or experience.
The outstanding moment of 2005 came on  Feb. 20. My guests on the show that night were country queenbee Carolyn Mark and Miss Amy Honey from Redcat Records. The girls had just finished caw-cawing along to my crow hunting 45 and were busy working it out to Tom Jones' "She's a Lady". When my relief showed up he spotted the Fear and Loathing soundtrack beside the CD player and told us Hunter S. Thompson had just shot himself. We all stayed up all night drinking in Hunter's honour.

Record you are most anticipating for 2006

The record I'm most anticipating for 2006 is the is the release of the Victoria alt-country compilation "Cavalcade of Scars". A project of this kind is long overdue considering the depth and variety of talent in this town James Tuohy  cfuv.uvic.ca
