What 5 years in professional Radio has done to my overall appearance...
Monday, May 2nd, I hosted the Algonquin College Radio Broadcasting Awards. Honoring top grads from a program I graduated from not too long ago. Looks like working in radio has done wonders for my sense of style... dunno about that other guy tho... ;)

Emma Watson wears "Plastic Bottle" gown to Met Gala
Emma Watson really sticks to her guns when it comes to her promise to the environment. Not many A-Listers would opt to wear recycled bottles to a function as fancy as the Met Gala. This story, this dress truly reflect Emma's commitment to her beliefs and inner beauty.
"I made a choice last year that I would only wear sustainable fashion on the red carpet..." - Emma Watson
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.

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.
