Christmas Eve 2010 with David Marsden

December 24, 2010

David Marsden on the Rock.FM every Saturday and Sunday night from 7 p.m. until midnight.

Christmas Eve is a magical time for many. Some hold the traditions of attending services, gathering with family and friends, and even opening a gift or two in anticipation of the big day.

For many of us, the holidays are filled with stress, loneliness, disappointment, and heartache. The anticipation born of the commercialism of the time leaves many of us feeling unfulfilled and empty. That’s when David Marsden steps in.

David nurtures us all year round by weaving a tapestry of music that is more fine art than craft. Rightfully called the “master of free-form broadcasting,” he lets the music take us on a journey that brings us far away from the drudgery of real life, and allows us to enter a happy place deep within ourselves.

On Christmas Eve, the magic really blossoms. Thirty-seven years ago, Marsden himself experienced the feeling of emptiness that engulfs so many. As it reached out and tried to consume him with dread and fear, he fought it back. It was on that one night as he walked alone on cold and snow-swept streets, that a voice told him to do what he does best so that others would feel warm, cared for, and part of a family. This year embodied all that was fabulous from the previous years. It was truly a work of love.

David works hard to ensure that everyone feels a sense of community. And, you need not keep your feelings to yourself. Sistahmar provides a chat room where you can come and discuss what’s on your mind, talk to others who feel much like you, and celebrate a worldwide communal Christmas. David provides the music and the heart-warming stories, Happy Pants provides the latest updates on Santa’s whereabouts, as well as firsthand glimpses into his bag of goodies, and the rest of us provide the companionship via Sistahmar’s Marsbar Theatre Chat Room, FaceBook, and email.

It’s never too late to start a tradition. David Marsden can be heard on 94.9 The Rock (who graciously provided 5 hours of commercial-free time to David on Christmas Eve) Saturday and Sunday nights from 7 pm until midnight (ET). He’s currently on a short break and will return on Saturday night, January 8. Consider joining us then. We’ll save you a spot by the fire in the theatre.

I’ve chosen not to publish a complete playlist from this year’s extravaganza, merely list some of the special highlights. You really need to experience the show firsthand. In the meantime go to MarsdenGlobal.com and download the available podcasts that David posts to get a taste of what you’ve been missing. And, we’ll anticipate your visit on the 8th.

80’s Music Rules ~ Criminally Underrated Artists/Bands ~ Jesus Jones

Continuing the Jesus theme with Christmas right around the corner, this week’s criminally underrated band is Jesus Jones from the UK.

Even though Jesus Jones was mostly active in the 90s, they originally formed in 1986 as Camouflage by Mike Edwards along with Simon Matthews and Alan Doughty. Over a two-year span, Camouflage quickly morphed into the equally short-lived Big Colour, which eventually morphed into Jesus Jones. This transition was rounded out with the addition of Jerry de Abela Borg and Iain Baker.

Jesus Jones incorporated house and techno styles of electronic rock as they helped to blaze a trail into the 1990s indie dance scene. Their first critical success came with “Info Freako” from the 1989 album Liquidizer. The tune that broke the band worldwide was “Right Here, Right Now” from their second album Doubt (1991) which did far better in the U.S (reaching number 2) than in the UK (number 31).

Read more about this unique and appealing late-80s group at their official website. What’s truly interesting is how they transitioned from the 80s into the more expansive shoe-gaze/techno house band sounds of the 90s in a seamless and effortless fashion. If you take the time to listen to their music in sequence, it presents 80s-90s music evolution as an entertaining and informative history lesson.

David Marsden on the Rock.FM every Saturday and Sunday night from 7 p.m. until midnight.

Absence definitely makes the heart grow fonder. We all missed David so much last weekend – and he showed us how much he missed us all by providing a seamless and splendid show. He played two really excellent songs by Fire Diviner. We were treated to a visit in the chat room by the group’s singer who explained that “Wither and Die” was a tribute to Martin Streek, among others. What a beautiful, yet gripping tune. “The Way I’m Seeing You” was a barn-burner – shouldn’t be a lick of snow left in Ontario after that tune blew through the airwaves.

Join us tomorrow night for a show that will take your mind off of anything that may be troubling you, brought to you by the master of free-form broadcasting. 7 pm until midnight ~ make a promise to yourself to be there.

80’s Music Rules ~ Criminally Underrated Artists/Bands ~ The Twins (Germany)

The Twins….the 80s….must be “Thompson Twins,” right? Wrong! Thanks to my Canadian friend Chris and his FaceBook-featured The Betamax Video Vault, I was introduced to a German 80s band I had no inkling even existed.

The spare information I found on them (and that I had to translate from German) includes that The Twins were formed in West Berlin by Dohrow Sven and Ronnie Schreinzer. The German Wiki article goes on to say that they oriented themselves stylistically to Gary Numan (as if!) among others.

Although their extensive use of synth-pop definitely orients them to many synthesizer-based groups of that era, that’s where the so-called “Numan orientation” ends. Gary Numan uses his synthesizers as an integral part of his music, whereas The Twins use it for typical synth-pop aural ear candy. Nothing wrong with that; but, it’s like saying that I am in the same league as Mario Andrettti because we both drive a car.

That said, it’s best to just let The Twins music speak for itself. There are quite a few videos on YouTube which tells me they were very popular in Germany, and possibly all of Europe. I have a feeling that wasn’t the case here across the Atlantic. They do deserve to be heard, however, as their sound is truly classic 80s synth-pop. Enjoy!

Purchase The Twins music here.

80’s Music Rules ~ More from Retrospect CFRC-FM ~ 12-07-10

Ed had a touching tribute to Mark Dailey who just lost his battle with cancer, and put on his wings. He played “Papa’s Got A Brand New Pigbag” which was the theme song to Canada’s CityTV in the 80’s. I also appreciated “I Have A Technical” by Gary Numan, as the same could be said to describe my day. Thank you Ed, for everything.
