Wow! Who would think that I have made it four years with Rossland Radio? I didn’t. It has been some ups and downs with Rossland Radio and personally. A few weeks after I started on-air with RRC, my dad died and since then, I tried my hand on being elected on the Legion executive (and failed miserably). Upside, I have been on the RRC board for my fourth term and I have fun doing my show, which you can hear on Saturdays at 8 pm (PST) on Rosslandradio.com or 101.1 FM on the dial.

In my four years, I created a MySpace and Twitter accounts for RRC, got a cult following halfway across the globe, interviewed Stan F’n Bush (maybe I can get an interview with him on my fifth year anniversary), ghot top billing ay a failed 80s dance (hope we can get another one and it will be more successful) and co-hosted two episodes of the DJ Anonymous show. Hell, I made new friends at Rossland Radio and maybe, I can interview some independent singers or bands from BC or Canada.

I started with a show called “The Chunin Show” and I tweaked it a little by calling “Chunin’s Corner.” Then I had a side project called “Tao of Sean” and fused it with “Chunin’s Corner” to become “Tao of Chunin.” In the year 2009, I dropped the moniker “The Charismatic Chunin of Cool” and changed my show name to “Sean-a-tonin.”

On Sean-a-tonin, I am gonna start having a portion of my show called “Sean’s Mailbag” in which you my listener can e-mail me a question, request a song (or singer/band) or a comment about a previous show. E-mail me at seanatonin@gmail.com and in the subject line, put “Sean’s Mailbag”. Also, once in a while on my show, I will do a Sean’s Mailbag episode.

Next year will be my fifth anniversary and maybe, my listeners and fellow DJs can celebrate with me live at the studio and have a good time listening to the best Saturday Night show before Saturday Night Live.

Greetings on this last Sunday of August 2010!

Hey folks, for those of you who have tuned in on Saturday afternoons at 4pm, you may have heard something new happening!

My name is Nathan Phelan and I am the host of The Electro Show a new program that explores different genres of Electronic Music. The premise to the program is to educate everyone in the first 30 min checking out different types of electronic genres and to have some plain ol' fun in the 2nd 30 min of the show as I pump out tons of great upbeat electro tracks.

If anyone would like to contact me to make a request, have a discussion, or just say hi you can message me at any of the following sites

So i was effing around on Facecrack when i noticed a friend of mine posted something in regards to FL Studio. Its a pretty ill music making program, and its essentially a killer keyboard setup, drum machine, sampler and mixer all rolled into one tight unit.

FL Studio, formerly known as FruityLoops, is a fully featured, open-architecture music creation and production environment for PC. No extra software is required to produce any style of music, as the complete set of instrument and studio tools is included in the cost of the package. With the included plugins, sounds and tools the user can create complete songs, as well as backing tracks, loops and sizzling beats

Ive been messing around with it and am starting to understand it more and more. Its great for people who want to make electronic, trip hop hip hop type beats, but am fairly impressed with the drums and reckon you could make music via importing tracks and sampling.

Dusty from Abstract Element was interested in this program. You can download a free sample from http://download.cnet.com/FL-Studio/3000-2170_4-10030774.html, its only the demo version so its limited and you cant save songs you make. Boo.

As with anything in this world, im sure you could download a cracked version somewhere in internet land, but here at Rossland radio, we dont promote piracy, unless you're Somalian.

Fun show once we got things figured out. The transmitter was unplugged for some strange reason so after 15 minutes of talking to myself we were on AIR!

Co-host MCR was in the studio, playing beats and laughing out loud. All in all a fun night, Zarto rocked it too, which we stuck around for Prime TIme. Dusty and Heather also graced us with their presence, so you know it was a good time!

Next week i'll be rocking some classic 90's rap, as per usual, and a few extra beat slices. Respect.

Ten songs that should not use the melodies of classic songs or remakes that should never been made

1) Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice- If you listen to the melody very closely to that song, it’s the melody of the Queen & David Bowie classic Under Pressure. The melody should not be used outside of rock
2) S.O.S by Rihanna- In this pop travesty, Rihanna took a classic ’80s tune and made it into a horrendous song. Why in the bluest of blue hell did she make a song about the signal of distress?
3) All Summer Long by Kid Rock- Kid Rock slapped the faces of Lynyrd Skynyrd and Warren Zevon in this song. Sure he promoted Sweet Home Alabama in the song and that is the only great thing that this self-proclaimed American Bad Ass has done right in that song
4) Can’t Touch This by MC Hammer- Rick James is rolling in his grave now when this song is playing on the radio, during a sporting event or in a movie.
5) American Woman by Lenny Kravitz- Why in hell did Lenny destroy this classic hit that was done by BTO/Guess Who. Maybe in the year 2043, a reggae-punk band does a horrible version of one of his hits.
6) Any Michael Jackson hit song parody- sure they are funny, but you should think of what Michael Jackson has done for music
7) You Sexy Thing by Deee-Lite- A funk version of a disco classic, who would thunk it. Sure it looks good on paper, but it still sucks.
8) Anything sung by Countdown, Stars of Studio 99 or the cast of Glee- Do they know the phrase “royalty cheques” because they forgot that they will pay the singers a price to sing their songs.
9) A Fifth of Beethoven by Walter Murphy & Also Spracht Zarathrustra by Deodato- Classical Music gone disco? Why me?
10) The Transformers theme by Lion (and an alternate version done by Stan Bush)- Why did the producers of the Transformers animated movie (that will be hitting twenty five years soon) let an unknown band and a cult hero do their versions of the Transformers theme? The theme had been remixed numerous times over numerous seasons. Why not have the first two seasons fused together for the movie instead of having a rock version of it. Goddamnit!

I wanna talk about Sex in commercials. Sure it sells lots of stuff and most of the people don’t have Brad Pitt’s good looks or a body that it was chiseled out of stone by Michelangelo, they have average looks and more weight. Some commercials show if you wear this kind of deodorant or use this kind of body wash, beautiful women will come out of the blue and ravish you and that it all bull crap. How do I know? Before I came out of the closet, I have tried all the mainstream body washes and women did not come up to me and make out with me.
Also, I am kinda sick and tired of seeing movies using beautiful people, most of them have plastic surgery done, to bring in people into the theatres. Over the years some of the movie stars after getting plastic surgery done, look like upholstered couches. Whatever happened to natural beauty? That is what I am attracted too, not a fucking live Barbie or Ken doll. If you have too much plastic surgery, you might die.
Why are teenaged girls trying to emulate people like Lindsey Lohan and Britney Spears for? Do they know what they have done and end up like them? The boys are trying to emulate that Beiber kid. I think that Justin Beiber is gonna pull a fucking Britney or a Lohan within four years and you people will say, “Wow. Sean Bateman was right.” Justin Beiber is just a fad like N*Sync and Spice Girls. So, when Justin loses his sex appeal and all his fans, I will be playing N*Sync’s Bye Bye Bye on my radio show. In other words, don’t emulate musicians and just be yourself.

This is my new column, in which I am substituting for Straight from the Clavicle, and this column is all about courtesy and respect. For example, when you meet a new person or when a person doesn’t know your name, you have to give them your name and not text them by saying that you are “listener #57”. Like people know that someone who wears #57 from their past. When someone asks for your name, out of respect of the person and out of courtesy, give that person you name and he/she won’t block you on their cell phone.
When someone doesn’t like a nickname, you must think to yourself if that person likes that nickname and does this person get offended by it because it might be racial due to their religion, heritage, disability and what not. Nicknames can be anything from someone’s flexibility (i.e. “Stretch” Armstrong) to someone’s ethics (Former US president “Honest Abe” Lincoln)
Sometimes, when you are sitting at a restaurant with a friend who has a disability, whatever you say please, don’t say retard as a noun in front of them. Just say it as a verb and you will be okay. For example, you must retard your anger when the Canucks get eliminated in the playoffs. That is okay. When you use it like a noun, like the Canuck fans are such retards. You’ll be offending people with disabilities and you’ll be having a court case in which you might be paying a settlement that will cost you money that you don’t have.
There is a proverb that you should remember before you say anything bad to anyone, including a minority, and that proverb goes “You must walk a mile in their shoes to see how they feel.” The Native Americans (or Indians) lost their land to white settlers in the 1500s to the 1800s, the Africans were brought to America as slaves and treated like crap in the 1950s, the Asians in British Columbia were sent to internment camps in the Interior because of the bombing of Pearl Harbour by the Japanese kamikaze pilots.
Before you treat someone the way your friends are, sit down and have a beer or two with a person who is gay, disabled or different religious beliefs and be friendly to them. Making new friends is nice thing that you can do to a person and to yourself because other people will see that and they can do it at another place so other people can see that you are making a difference in the world.
Remember that people are judging your every single move and if you make the wrong move, it’ll cost you anything like time in jail or your high paying job. So, use your heart and mind as one or you will pay more than a settlement, you’ll be paying with your life.

Hey everybody. I believe my listenership is growing. Glad to have you all on board. I've been getting into the groove and really enjoying it. It's nice to know there are listeners out there.
I've created a Facebook page called Dyk Out With Mister Dyk, so if you have any comments or any requests, please post to the page (don't be afraid of Chom William Chom --> he's my facebook alter ego).
I'm also on skype at brandon.vandyk.
Again, thanks for listening, and please, don't listen only to me. Listen to the other great programmers we have on this great co-op radio station. Rossland Radio!

So here we are, children of the Earth; we know what's going on around us. We can stick our heads in the sand for a time here and there but we all need air and must come up once and awhile. The question is, to what are we coming up to?
I'm just one person here. Anyone else out there interested in trying to rally people? You know, like they did in the 60's? People power is a powerful thing indeed
I ask because if there ever was a time to rally, now is that time
Let me know what you think
