Exploding Head Movies Episode May 8, 2023
XHM #648 - "Supernatural marvels" (2023 May 08)
7:00pm - 9:04pm
Nostalgia sets in for a moody episode as we pay tribute to Gordon Lightfoot (1938-2023) and Harry Belafonte (1927-2023). The focus will be more on the latter as we listen to some calypso, mento and other Caribbean genres and of course, some of his songs from the 1988 comedy Beetlejuice. We also touch upon Vancouver's Verboden Festival this week along with other concerts in town when not running off to Venezuela.
