A little late on our morning post, but then we wouldn't have found this piece of serendipity!
Heard an interview with Canadian musician Rufus Wainwright on CBC this morning (yeah, we at Big E DO listen to other stations sometimes!), and then realized later it was his late mom Kate McGarrigle's birthday today. Wow - what a musical family - her sister Anna and then Kate's two kids, Rufus and Martha.

Hello friends and happy Saturday night! Stay out of the cold tonight, and tune in to Edmonton's Big E Radio for this!

8:30pm - Noise Factor

This week is a rather interesting mix of new and old....I mean, at least I think so. We start in 2024 with a hot little number from Gadfly and the opening blast of four in a row is sure to please with DFA1979, Rott, and Isaak. After the new we'll mix it up with a little old with some vintage 2008 Meshuggah and if that's not old enough, we'll go back to 2000 and 1992, but those will be fun surprises. Edmonton sludge trio Highbernation makes an appearance and let's see if we can solve the caper of my missing page
