Steffi in Lowertown.
Hi Steve! Just settling-in to listen to your fine show , while soaking my feet in epsom salts. It's important to do. ... got myself in the mood for the show by singing some Willie Nelson tunes on karaoke.

Steve Kirkland (host)
Steffi: Hi! A mood is good to get into for Saturday night radio

Hey Steve, in and going nowhere. You have me from the start, and good one at that. A day of wasted on on-call things. Nice out there though. I'm afraid no epsom salts for me, I'm jealous. What a wonderful idea. Hope things that need to be sorted are sorted!

6:18 PM, August 22nd, 2020
Steffi in Lowertown
epsom salts FTW!

On a hike but still listening to CKCU as I don't want to miss it 👌👍😊

Hey Dave... thanks for the tech tip earlier this week -- worked like a charm, albeit in installments... sit back, kick back, get back...

6:23 PM, August 22nd, 2020
Steve Kirkland (host)
Wally, sun's setting slowly and gloriously through the window to my immediate left, so I'm confident you're enjoying the outdoors and corresponding climatic conditions... enhanced by radio, of course

Steffi in Lowertown
I just saw that John W's show is not available in the "on-demand" section. .... also tried to listen live on a few occasions recently and it clearly wasn't his style of music playing. ... Is John still doing the Fri. morning show?

6:28 PM, August 22nd, 2020
Steve Kirkland (host)
The NoMen steeped, however subtly, in TTMBS-era Eno... aah

6:30 PM, August 22nd, 2020
Steve Kirkland (host)
Steffi, Friday Morning Cartunes airs live on audio/video feed on Facebook every Friday 09:30-13:00 HRS... far as I know John doesn't post a playlist... unsure if it's something you can re-visit via streaming... anyone out there know?

6:42 PM, August 22nd, 2020
Steve Kirkland (host)
Steffi, to add.. what you hear broadcast on the FM band from 09:30-13:00 on Fridays is nothing of John's doing, it's music pre-programmed for the pandemic

6:52 PM, August 22nd, 2020

I recently found out that there are 5 or 6 more Super Hits of the Seventies comps & Michael Shelley said he will send them to me 😂

There are some cool covers on them and remind me if a similar series on Pravda Records quite a few years ago

Hi Jeb!

7:43 PM, August 22nd, 2020
Wally
That's him - WFMU Michael Shelley who released a few albums on Francis MacDonald' Shoeshine Records label under his own name and also as Cheeky Monkey and father of Juniper

7:44 PM, August 22nd, 2020
Ian
Hey Wally, I remember those. That Pumpkins' version of Jackie Blue is pretty great! Hey Steve! Great tunes as always!
