  • Bio

    .. ...................... .. ............Myspace Layouts...... ....Myspace Codes...... ....Myspace Generators...... ....Myspace Backgrounds...... .. ..BANANA PEEL RADIO IS A LIVE AND PRERECORDED BROADCAST OPERATING OUT OF VANCOVER CANADA, THAT IS OUT TO PROMOTE THE INDEPENDANT MUSICIANS WORLD WIDE. OUR AIM IS TO GIVE OUR LISTENERS A TRUE DEFINITION OF WORLD TALENT THAT NORMALLY DOES NOT GET MAIN STREAM AIRPLAY OR PROPER RECOGNITION FOR THEIR EFFORTS. WE FEATURE ALTERNATIVE, PUNK, ROCK, REGGAE, ELECTRONIC,RAP, HIP HOP,AND WORLD BEAT. WE HOPE TO SOON HAVE A SPOT ON SIRIUS SATELITE RADIO IN THE FUTURE. WE ARE THE 21RST CENTURY WEB CAST VERSION OF THE CLASSIC BRITISH RADIO CLASSIC THE JOHN PEEL SHOW IN WHICH PLAYED ALL SORTS OF UNSIGNED BANDS AND BROKE THE RULES OF MAIN STREAM MUSIC BY OFFERING A MORE ART FOR ART SAKE APPROACH TO THE MUSIC SCENE AS OPPOSED TO MUSIC FOR MONEY APPROACH, IN WHICH IS BETTER KNOWN AS MAIN STREAM OR COMMERCIAL TOP 40. COMMERCIAL TOP 40 IS OUT TO GIVE THE MAJOR RECORD COMPANIES A COMPLETE CONTROL OF OUR MUSICIANS TALENT , ORDERING THEM TO PLAY A CERTAIN BEAT AND STYLE IN WHICH CONFORMS TO THE EVERYDAY LISTENER,OR MAIN STREAM, THEREFORE ALL EFFORT THAT THE ARTISTS USE TO CREATE THE MUSIC WHICH IS USED TO CREATE THE SONGS OR SONG IS THEN USED BY THE MAJOR LABELS TO MARKET THESE ARTISTS FOR PROFIT IN WHICH FOR THE MOST PART DESTROYS THE ZEIT GEIST AFFECT OR ART FOR ART SAKE EFFECT IN WHICH DEFINES TRUE TALENT OF OUR MUSICIANS. SO AS MORE AND MORE MUSICIANS STARTING OUT TODAY WILL TAKE MORE OF THE INDEPENDENT APPROACH, THUS PROMOTING THEMSELVES VIA THE INTERNET, AND SATELITE RADIO TO AVOID THIS CAPITAL DISCRIMINATION AGAINST THE TALENT THEY POSESES. THUS WE AT BANANA PEEL RADIO ARE ALL ABOUT THE ART OF MUSIC AND THE RECOGNITION OF THE INDEPENDENT ARTISTS WHO WILL NOT SELL OUT TO THE MUSIC INDUSTRY STANDARDS DESPITE THE PRESSURE OF MAJOR RECORD COMPANIES, THUS TAKE CONTROL OF THEIR OWN DESTINY TO SUPPORT THEIR OWN CAREERS. IT IS THESE ARTISTS THAT WE WILL FEATURE... .. Our show will follow in the foot steps of the great John peel and try to mock the concept of American and Canadian idol, so that all the potencial talent out there can have a real chance of being heard and being played on air for all to hear and have a chance to be exposed via the internet for world recognition as our show covers the globe not just Canada and The USA. Our talent will include all the independent artists from rap to punk, to alternative and even latin and south american vibes, and possibly more. The show will also be a bit talk show based as we will interview all sorts of people with an approach that you can say is not so main stream or status quo in all areas of business and of life in general. .. The host at the helm of the show is Jeffrey Rubin who from time to time writes up on the music scene on some forums on line, predominatley the alternative scene, as he played a role in the Canadian Music Scene as a local Canadian judge for the Juno awards equivalent to that of The American Music Awards via application to Caras from a send in form in the Record Magazine a flyer that was put out by Sam The Record Man, thus made him a member of the Canadian academy of Recording Arts and Sciences also known as (Caras ).He was also working in the retail end as head of distribution for one of Canada’s best known retail establishments known as Sam The Record Man, in the corporate store in Montreal for a total of 16 years. Jeffrey resides in Vancouver, Canada, with wife Monica. Jeffrey’s major influence in the music scene is NME a British Magazine that reviews the best in the underground world of music, to which later becomes known to the pop world. .. .. .... .. ...... .. .. The show will also include classics in Alternative and will honor John Peel Day with a annual show in his honor for his contribution to the radio and music industry. .. .. ..WHOM WE WOULD LIKE TO MEET.. .. .. We encourage all the independent artists out there on myspace and other sites to be apart of our show and be heard and possibly interviewed so that all the listeners online can here you, and your latest whether you are signed or unsigned we want to hear from you. Power to the people for we are all Idols or want to be one some day .. .. for more on john peel see blog ..
