Monday, December 16th Update: THIS IS THE FINAL WEEK TO DONATE GIFTS to the STATION!!
I’m bringing the toys to the Ottawa Mission this weekend, before their big Christmas Dinner service on Sunday, December 22nd. The deadline for drop-off at the radio station is Friday, December 20th! So I’ll be talking about this a lot over the next few days.
Off to a strong start, this morning two large boxes FULL of Lego were delivered to my studio from YanPeng Gao! THANK YOU!

Neon Dreams @ KiSS
Frank Kadillac and Adrian Morris of Neon Dreams chat with Amy Volume from KiSS Ottawa ahead of their show at the 27 Club, Thursday, November 8th.
We last spoke with Frank Kadillac and Adrian Morris in 2016 when they released their breakaway hit "Marching Bands" ft. Kardinal Offishall. Since then, they've released 2 EPs, 2017's 'Wolf, Princess and Me' and 2016's 'To You' and have been working away on their forthcoming debut LP(rumoured to drop in 2019...they definitely seem to enjoy teasing us with that).
Neon Dreams are featured on Prime Minister Trudeau's Spotify Playlist, so I obviously had to ask how that made them feel. Surprised? Honoured? Intimidated by his fantastic hair? They got to meet Trudeau, aka 'little prince' according to Frank, and he definitely made a stylish impact.
Adrian reveals he once slept through sound check the one and only time Ria Mae asked him to play for her. Obviously things are cool with the boys and Ria as they're out on tour right now. Catch them at the 27 Club, the markets most intimate live music venue, Thursday, November 8. CLICK HERE for more information and to buy tickets.
Neon Dreams have a new single out called 'Guilty'. You can hear it by CLICKING HERE.
For context, there were some irritating tech issues happening in studio during filming.*

Nothing Compares 2 U: Radio Tribute, May 4th
This tribute is the brain child of KCMP Minneapolis Program Director Jim McGuinn who said:
"Like [David] Bowie, Prince's music made us all more alive, more accepting, more open to being able to express who we are. But, like no artist in our lifetimes, Prince united people with his music. Black, white, young, old, rich, poor, he cut across all boundaries with music that touched on rock, funk, soul, pop, R&B, new wave and jazz, and the world responded.
We just wanted to honor the man we called our friend, and the music we all love, and thought that maybe we might be able to get radio stations all over the world to share this moment with fans who are missing this great artist."
Prince's hit single "Nothing Compares 2 U" will receive the penultimate radio homage as stations across North America agree to simultaneously hit play 7 hours and 13 days after his passing.
CLICK HERE to read the lyrics.
As tributes continue to pour in for the Purple Rain singer, radio stations across the continent will come together 7 hours and 13 days after his death to host a simulcast of "Nothing Compares 2 U."
Tune in to KiSS 1053 at 6:07PM, May 4th, to hear the fitting tribute.
