Leo Tiberi, dean of Information and Media Studies, says, “This would maintain our status as one of the top programs in the country. We just have to continue to position ourselves to be a popular choice for students.” The college is hoping to change the whole aesthetics of the west end of the Voyageur Wing at the Welland campus. “A change is due so people know that they’re entering into Niagara College Broadcasting Centre. This, as well as new equipment, like editing suites, will be included.” BRTF program students voiced their opinions as to what they would like to see happen in the ren- ovations. Janelle Eisler, 21, of Kitchener, in her third year, says more studios to work in and more editing suites are needed. “It definitely affects you more in second or third year when you need more time to edit your project.” “There is just not enough space The changes will be apparent when the Broadcasting – Radio, Television and Film program renovates the current facilities in the or room to do that in.” Voyageur Wing at a cost of $1 million.

  • Barenaked Lunch
    Barenaked Lunch 1990 (Winter) Jim and Andy Creeggan join Barenaked Ladies . (February to March) Barenaked Ladies tour Canada with Corky And The Juice Pigs. (February 8) Barenaked Ladies perform in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. (March 13) Barenaked Ladies perform in London, Ontario, Canada. (Date Unknown) Look People records its second album Small Fish, Big Pond , venue unknown. (Early 1990) Barenaked Ladies record and issue their second indie release Barenaked Lunch . This is the first band recording to feature the Creeggans . The approximately 2,000 copies produced are mastered at the wrong speed and running a bit too fast. Barenaked Lunch “Night Photographs” “Trouble With Tracy” “Blame It On Me” “Be My Yoko Ono” “If I Had $1000000” “Night Photographs (Barenaked Lunch Version)” 2:11 Written by Steven Page & Ed Robertson Appears on: Barenaked Lunch It can’t be stressed enough just how much the addition of the Creeggan brothers really helped the Ladies fill out their overall sound. The rhythm section ups the energy level of the songs and brings the group much closer now to their familiar sound as heard by the time they recorded the Gordon album. The speed here, as with the entire cassette, is mastered too fast, but honestly, it’s not that bad and I’m not sure too many casual listeners at the time would notice. This recording, with the speed corrected, would later appear on The Ladies Room - Vol. 1 Fan Club CD in 1997. “Trouble With Tracy (Barenaked Lunch Version)” 2:39 Written by Steven Page & Ed Robertson Appears on: Barenaked Lunch Still a regular song in the group’s repertoire (and a really good one, at that), this version is the closest the band got to releasing a proper studio recording.
