IMPLOSION

IMPLOSION is hosted by Nick Saloman, front person of The Bevis Frond. Born and raised in London, England, Nick started buying records as a small child in the late 1950s and began going to gigs and playing in bands as a teen in the late 60s. IMPLOSION is simply an hour of Nick playing the music that he loves (psychedelia, rock, folk, beat, jazz, soul, punk, and more), with a bit of chat thrown in for good measure. Nick says: "If I like it, then there have got to be a few other people who will too.

11 stories, 11 insights -- my immigration thoughts, on Listening Lyrics, May 1, 2026

Fri, 05/01/2026 - 4:00pm | Pieter Pastoor

Listen in to Listening Lyrics as I play the top 11 songs from February 1953 … in Toronto, Canada. Not randomly. Those songs will carry a story—my story—of immigrating with my family from the Netherlands to Toronto. We’ll move through it in 11 acts, each one introduced, summarized, and—ideally—kept on track by my friend and fellow DJ Gil Medovoy, who will connect the moment to the music.

This hour was inspired by my brother Art and my trip down memory lane in Toronto last month. We flew to New York and took the train from there to Toronto using the same route as we did in 1953.
