Attaboy, Mr. JC

Wally
I'm here but a bit quiet as I am eating dinner and listening with one ear :)

6:44 PM, December 12th, 2020
Steve Kirkland (host)
No worries, Wally, listening with one ear is better than hearing with both but not listening

6:49 PM, December 12th, 2020
Matt
great Hound Dog Taylor cut!

6:51 PM, December 12th, 2020
Steve Kirkland (host)
Cheers Matt! I love the pre-song patter...

Great to hear Crispy Ambulance on the radio, The Presence is one of my favorite songs taken from a later EP

7:03 PM, December 12th, 2020
Steve Kirkland (host)
Crispy Ambulance remains one of my all-time favourite band names...

7:04 PM, December 12th, 2020
Steve Kirkland (host)
retro Happy Slapping, post-sideways, sort of

7:11 PM, December 12th, 2020
Gbro
The Tea Party? What????

7:13 PM, December 12th, 2020
Steve Kirkland (host)
Gbro, I make neither apologies nor excuses... a great Daniel Lanois song done up different

7:18 PM, December 12th, 2020
Gbro
The Doughboys! That's more like it!

7:20 PM, December 12th, 2020
Steve Kirkland (host)
The Rock Workshop track mentioned wasn't in the mix in that set (sorry), but wait for it...

7:21 PM, December 12th, 2020
Steve Kirkland (host)
Gbro, happy to re-establish equilibrium

7:22 PM, December 12th, 2020
Gbro
Apologies or excuses not required. Just grinding your gears. But I'm glad I tuned in late and missed it all the same.

7:22 PM, December 12th, 2020
Jeb
I hear Rick Workshop! Yay!

7:28 PM, December 12th, 2020
Steve Kirkland (host)
Hey Jeb... Cheers

7:29 PM, December 12th, 2020
Jeb
Who's "Rick" Workshop anyway? ;)

7:33 PM, December 12th, 2020
Steve Kirkland (host)
Or Rick Worship, come to that?

7:35 PM, December 12th, 2020
ScottyB
Hi Steve! That Tom Morello track took my head off earlier when I was out walkin’ the dog (thought it was Buckethead), and then that Family track that followed took it up a notch! Fantastic!

7:35 PM, December 12th, 2020
Steve Kirkland (host)
Scott, I'm happy you took us with you when you were walking the dog... but did the dog get to listen too?

7:37 PM, December 12th, 2020
ScottyB
She doesn't have headphones when we go mobile, but she's listening now.

7:39 PM, December 12th, 2020
Steve Kirkland (host)
Happy to hear that Scott

7:44 PM, December 12th, 2020
mike. p
I'm of two ears too, of two radio shows, vcb, and cbc, but now the headphones are plugged into vcb. so two cheers for Steve and vcb1

7:44 PM, December 12th, 2020
Steve Kirkland (host)
Hi mike. p... I can't begrudge you tuning into the CBC... they raised a boatload of money for the ottawa foodbank yesterday afternoon, good on 'em (and the listeners/donors)...

7:46 PM, December 12th, 2020
Jeb
Love those Subpop collaboration cds, like the JDG & Mudhoney collab you played. Wish there were more than the the few released.

7:47 PM, December 12th, 2020
Steve Kirkland (host)
I hear you Jeb

7:48 PM, December 12th, 2020
Steve Kirkland (host)
I usually eschew Christmas songs, but this has been a crap year... glad to inject a bit of holiday cheer (more on that score next week)

7:49 PM, December 12th, 2020
Steve Kirkland (host)
Not sure why mention of DJ and Rudolph didn't make the mix... no worries, those that care will figure it all out
