Renny's Riot
Wednesday August 23rd, 2023 with Rancorous Renny
WHISKEY, SEX, GUNNS & THE UNDERTONES.

Skip to Tracks
A set about Scotch. Songs about sex. A lack of Gunn control. Both sides of an Undertones' single from 1979. Oh dagnabbit! I forgot to play any new releases. My bad.

I do not recommend day drinking. Remember, I Iive vicariously through my playlists, you can read 'em like a psychic reads tea leaves.

whatwave dave
Diggin' the sounds of your show in the basement in London Ontario. I learned a long time ago about day drinking.....LOL.

1:41 PM, August 23rd, 2023
Renny G (host)
Any rioters, or rioteers, out in the ether, digging this bandwidth?

1:42 PM, August 23rd, 2023
Frankie
Enjoying the opening boozy tunes. This truly is good time music here, its meant to get you moving. Is there a much of a difference between City Jump and Country Jump? (versus)

1:44 PM, August 23rd, 2023
Renny G (host)
I don't think so. I'm pretty sure that disc is a bootleg of some sort.

1:46 PM, August 23rd, 2023
Renny G (host)
I was thinking what I could get a friend who helped me throughout my hospital stay. I thought a good bottle of scotch would do it. Nope, just because someone likes the Scots doesn't mean he'll drink their scotch.

1:47 PM, August 23rd, 2023
Frankie
I quite enjoyed the lack of "Teenage Kicks."

1:53 PM, August 23rd, 2023
Renny G (host)
So instead I subject all of you to songs about scotch.

1:53 PM, August 23rd, 2023
Renny G (host)
I've got two dynamite covers of that song, one is by Thee Headcoatees and the other is by Malibou Lou & the Attackers, something that the owner of Rum Bar Records recorded when he was a young buck.

1:55 PM, August 23rd, 2023
Renny G (host)
Teenage Kicks that is.

1:55 PM, August 23rd, 2023
IanJ
What a great Riot! I've never heard the original Let's Talk About Girls. I wrongly thought it was a Chocolate Watchband original. The Riot can be a learning experience!

1:59 PM, August 23rd, 2023
Renny G (host)
That's why I still do a show. I learn so much when I look into the bands and original labels and dates. Nothing like a little knowledge to make you know how ignorant you actually are.

2:01 PM, August 23rd, 2023
Frankie
Yes, from SAHB's final studio album. To me they constructed a musical bridge from glam rock to punk.

2:05 PM, August 23rd, 2023
Renny G (host)
He was great. I can remember watching footage of him doing "Faith Healer" on Night Watch, a weird late night show on TVO.

2:10 PM, August 23rd, 2023
Frankie
I remember the show Renny. The host was a guy named Rainer Swartz, who was later a DJ at JAZZ FM in Toronto.

2:15 PM, August 23rd, 2023
Renny G (host)
That's the guy. He had Nash the Slash performing while they showed a ghastly surrealist silent movie in the background.

2:16 PM, August 23rd, 2023
Frankie
My bad the proper spelling of his name is: Reiner Schwarz

2:18 PM, August 23rd, 2023
Johnny Loan
Hot and trashy show today! not complaining

2:21 PM, August 23rd, 2023
Frankie
Yes , the show was also heavily into the band "FM", of which Nash the Slash was briefly a member.

2:21 PM, August 23rd, 2023
Renny G (host)
Hey Johnny Loan, I seem to remember that you are a Meteors fan. Do you want me to play some on the next show?

2:23 PM, August 23rd, 2023
Renny G (host)
Not the next one, because that's when Ian is hosting, but the one after that.

2:26 PM, August 23rd, 2023
Frankie
One last thing about Reiner Schwarz: He was an actor in the David Cronenberg films, "The Brood" and "Videodrome".

2:29 PM, August 23rd, 2023
Johnny Loan
Yes please on The Meteors! My fave song is Kit Boy

2:30 PM, August 23rd, 2023
Frankie
Wow, Renny and I mean fucking wow. Do you still play harmonica, or harp as you and Hillbilly would call it.

2:31 PM, August 23rd, 2023
Renny G (host)
Will do, Johnny.

2:31 PM, August 23rd, 2023
Renny G (host)
I didn't know that about Reiner, Frankie, but then again I'm much too squeamish for Cronenberg.

2:32 PM, August 23rd, 2023
Renny G (host)
No I can't, my lungs are shot, I need more than 20% lung capacity to play like that.

2:33 PM, August 23rd, 2023
Frankie
Sorry to have sworn there, but that was an awesome harmonica riff. It kind of blows Ozzy out of the water!

2:37 PM, August 23rd, 2023
Renny G (host)
And swearing is allowed at the Riot.

2:42 PM, August 23rd, 2023
Daragh
Listening in Duncan, BC. Thanks for listening to your fans who gave the thumbs up to the Undertones last week.

2:56 PM, August 23rd, 2023
Renny G (host)
I aim to please, Daragh.

2:57 PM, August 23rd, 2023
Frankie
You never know what to expect from Homer and Jethro. Much like the Riot, I would say.

3:10 PM, August 23rd, 2023
Renny G (host)
Yeah that song is supposed to be a spoof of Sixties rock & roll but I kind of kind of like it.

3:12 PM, August 23rd, 2023
Frankie
Thanks again to you and Ian for throwing in some of the old country music. Wanda Jackson might be the original country rocker.

3:13 PM, August 23rd, 2023
Renny G (host)
No problem Frankie. I'm actually planning on playing some very old Roy Acuff on the first Riot of September.

3:18 PM, August 23rd, 2023
Renny G (host)
Some old hillbilly boogie and some psychobilly.

3:18 PM, August 23rd, 2023
Frankie
Thanks for the great show!

3:25 PM, August 23rd, 2023
Renny G
Check out the music of Sanford Clark. https://cod.ckcufm.com/programs/93/53431.html

3:27 PM, August 23rd, 2023
Renny G (host)
If you dig old country, Frankie, you'll like Sanford Clark.

3:28 PM, August 23rd, 2023
Renny G (host)
Thank you all for listening. Ian is in next Wednesday. DO NOT MISS IT!

3:29 PM, August 23rd, 2023
Mark
Thanks for the undertones

5:51 PM, August 23rd, 2023
Renny G (host)
It's a pleasure playing great requests, Mark, thank you for your request.

9:51 AM, August 24th, 2023
Frankie
Man I'm stilled awed by listening to that harp playing. Reminds me of early heavy British blues on steroids. In addition, where the heck is hillbilly?

10:45 AM, August 24th, 2023
Nancy
Listening on demand much later than air time. Great show, as usual. And where the heck IS Hillbilly?!?

3:07 PM, September 10th, 2023
Nancy
And by the way... you don't blow your own horn enough about your harmonica playing. We want to hear more!
