Steve Kirkland (host)
so it appear-ohs, Jeb

Shubham
Good tunes Steve

6:39 PM, May 9th, 2020
Steve Kirkland (host)
Lady Sunshine rudely outdone by late traces of Old Man Winter... this ain't Calgary

6:40 PM, May 9th, 2020
Steve Kirkland (host)
Cheers Shubham...

6:40 PM, May 9th, 2020
Jeb
It ain't Victoria either.

6:47 PM, May 9th, 2020
Steve Kirkland (host)
There's that... yet it is Tulip Fest

6:49 PM, May 9th, 2020
Wally
Any Kraftwerk tonight as Florian Schneider passed away this week?

6:50 PM, May 9th, 2020
Wally
Faction, one of those lost Liverpool bands 👍

6:52 PM, May 9th, 2020
Steve Kirkland (host)
Hey Wally, unfortunately, I didn't learn of Florian's death in a timely enough manner... next week, though... Little Richard as well (today)

6:53 PM, May 9th, 2020
Steve Kirkland (host)
An XTC track was meant to be in the mix (as announced) but, well, there needs to be at least one stray track (added or omitted) per show it would seem...

6:57 PM, May 9th, 2020
MikeP
music broadly speaking as one condition of some of the universe is what I would like to suggest as more edifying an idea of what animals live by than the word instinct. A music we cannot create and why destroy?

7:02 PM, May 9th, 2020
Wally
Cool Kinks cover, I think that will be on Volume 5 of the Big Stir singles collection 👍

7:08 PM, May 9th, 2020
Steve Kirkland (host)
music is the rhythm of life, Mike P... and, for we lucky ones, so much more

7:08 PM, May 9th, 2020

Great show as usual Steve.

7:12 PM, May 9th, 2020
Steve Kirkland (host)
More great Tony Allen performances (with Fela, solo or other contributions) On Demand on these (and other) CKCU programs from this past week: Loosely Connected, David Dale Show, Friday Drive...

7:13 PM, May 9th, 2020
Steve Kirkland (host)
The remainder of the Monophonics track coses out this week's program... in the event you embrace arcana

7:20 PM, May 9th, 2020
Steve Kirkland (host)
tw, Thank-you! Cheers

7:20 PM, May 9th, 2020
Steve Kirkland (host)
Another one... no ESG cover in the mix (bah)

7:28 PM, May 9th, 2020
Dave JC.
It was Hanging Around that started one change in my musical direction. Good selection tonight.

7:35 PM, May 9th, 2020
Wally
I was wondering if I missed that 🤔

7:43 PM, May 9th, 2020
Steve Kirkland (host)
Mr. JC, happy you're happy... musical direction is good to change with some regularity

7:46 PM, May 9th, 2020
Steve Kirkland (host)
Wally, I 'm pre-ordained to fail technologically... to argue otherwise would be futile

7:48 PM, May 9th, 2020
MikeP
I know, or believe so too. Having to name something seems to begin an attempt to deconstruct it, sheesh, or a way to remember and develop it. that search , is part of our condition as humans. Rhythm eases survival, a music must be inherent to the being. Steve, the show startedme on this. this is the paybacks, thanks!

7:49 PM, May 9th, 2020
Steve Kirkland (host)
Amen, Mike P... next week I will play The Paybacks (note to self)

7:51 PM, May 9th, 2020
Wally
I love it, technology fails and all. Thanks Steve!

8:00 PM, May 9th, 2020
Jeb
Great show.

8:01 PM, May 9th, 2020
Steve Kirkland (host)
Thanks, Jeb!

8:02 PM, May 9th, 2020
MikeP
