Sorry I missed the beginning I met Ian Rankin at The Oxford Bar one afternoon and saw one of Kareen Polwart live performances - gorgeous combo of music and storytelling

6:44 PM, January 29th, 2022
Steve Kirkland (host)

Heavy Ben
Howdy neighbour. Enjoying the horn symphony today?

7:11 PM, January 29th, 2022
Steve Kirkland (host)
Back at you, one block away, doubt the audio (and visual) was any more tolerable on your side, so that would be a resounding NO...

7:15 PM, January 29th, 2022
mike

7:21 PM, January 29th, 2022

Great to hear someone play Second Layer on the radio. Did you see that another Adrian Borland side project The Crazies was just released by the Optic Nerve label

7:43 PM, January 29th, 2022
Wally
Enjoying that Rick White song

7:44 PM, January 29th, 2022
Steffi in Lowertown (honk! honk!)
who else remembers seeing Nick Cave in Ottawa at the church that they converted into an events centre?

7:45 PM, January 29th, 2022
Steve Kirkland (host)
Wally, no I missed the Optic Nerve release

7:48 PM, January 29th, 2022
Steve Kirkland (host)
Hi Steffi, I neither attended it nor remember the event... when was that?

7:49 PM, January 29th, 2022
Heavy Ben
That's cool Wally re: The Crazies. What's the sound quality of that like? Anything like The Sound?

7:49 PM, January 29th, 2022
Wally
Hi Ben, The Crazies was a more experimental stuff and maybe a bit similar to the Honolulu Mountain Daffodils

7:56 PM, January 29th, 2022
Wally
Steffi, I didn't get a chance to see Nick Cave that would have been cool

7:57 PM, January 29th, 2022
Steffi in Lowertown
Nick Cave in Ottawa was circa 2009 when he was promoting his audio book Death of Bunny Monro

Steve Kirkland (host)
Cheers All... was an enjoyable interactive last-Saturday-of-January (yay) two hours of radio

8:14 PM, January 29th, 2022
Benoît
OOPS! The sound associated on-demand with this is your Fillmore East celebration, starting with Sly & the Family Stone. Furthermore, it's 59 minutes long. Stuff happens...

5:32 PM, January 31st, 2022
Steve Kirkland (host)
Thanks Benoît... seems I switched the two programs... odd, I can understand making the mistake on one of the shows, but not both....

8:35 AM, February 1st, 2022
Benoît
I blame gremlins. And thanks, I'll be able to FILL A GAPING VOID in my auditory world.

Glad I bitched. Great first few cuts, interesting, 'different'.

Jarvis Cocker's got some similitude with a leonard cohen, in the voice anyway, even if a higher register.
