Hooked on Sonics host Omar Goodness takes over Acetate Gratified yet again, bringing you his take on the show's usual mix of avant garde tunes, fuzz jams, and static-y lullabies while regular host Lachlan is out gallivanting about on vacation.  Don't worry, Mrs. Fletcher, Omar's got you covered on this!

People think I’m crazy because I enjoy the solitary drive to and from Toronto.

Why on earth would ANYONE want to spend 5-6 hours isolated in a tiny automobile? For one thing, Tim Horton’s coffee tastes better when you’re in a Kingston rest-area surrounded by the Kingston regulars (Is it just me, or are they still stuck in the '90s?) I could be crazy… but using my sleeve to open doors in their truck stops is NOT the reason why I enjoy the drive.

Nor is it the scenery, or the cushier Ontario roads.
It’s all about the music in my car.
