Volume, Contrast, Brilliance
Saturday April 16th, 2022 with Steve Kirkland
nothing cuckoo about it

The first half of the first set is a selection of tracks by The Saints, one by their from-the-get-go vocalist Chris Bailey (R-I-P) , and a Saints cover by an almost as-old German punk band with Chris guesting as co-lead vocalist. Chris died on April 9 (no cause of death yet given) at 64. Lots of great music by The Saints and (less prolifically) by Chris the solo artist out there to explore. I recommended you do just that... a faster, more convenient way to do so would be to listen to 90 minutes of it on the 20April edition of Renny's Riot: https://cod.ckcufm.com/programs/527/55999.html

come on, yeah, come on (don't) be like a robot

6:05 PM, April 16th, 2022
Jeb
Funny, I was just doing the robot at home.

6:05 PM, April 16th, 2022
PaulS
Sigh, re, the Saints

6:06 PM, April 16th, 2022
Steve Kirkland (host)
Jeb, more in the vein of Bender I hope

6:06 PM, April 16th, 2022
Wally
Very sad to hear about Chris Bailey and maybe you should play The Robots by Kraftwerk 😂

6:07 PM, April 16th, 2022
Ren again.
I'm listening in Steve. I gotta make sure I don't play any of the Chris Bailey/Saints tracks your gonna play tonight.

6:08 PM, April 16th, 2022
Steve Kirkland (host)
PaulS, nice to hear from you... I know you love The Saints, sad about CB

6:08 PM, April 16th, 2022
Steve Kirkland (host)
Hi Wally... I'll definitely play the Kraftwerk tune... but not tonight... (note to self to set it aside)

6:12 PM, April 16th, 2022
Steve Kirkland (host)
Hi Ren, you'll have plenty of CB/Saints tracks left to pick from to play... I discovered a few records I had pulled from the vaults but misplaced them when I was choosing... this coming Wednesday's Riot to hear your selections?

6:15 PM, April 16th, 2022
Wally
Well you and Jeb mentioned robots and my brother bought me a ticket to see Kraftwerk this summer in Toronto so I guess they are on my mind

6:16 PM, April 16th, 2022
Steve Kirkland (host)
I heard Kraftwerk were playing this summer, Wally. Never seen them. Wouldn't mind. Is that the June 3-D show at Massey Hall?

6:18 PM, April 16th, 2022
Steve Kirkland (host)
Wally (et al). I look forward to being back in the studio presenting this show live and being able to spontaneously throw a track on... maybe a request through the interactive comments... maybe something that just pops into my (or a listener's) head

6:21 PM, April 16th, 2022
Wally
Yes June 6th at Massey Hall

6:21 PM, April 16th, 2022
Steve Kirkland (host)
Thanks, Chris Bailey, for great music all the way back and all the way

6:24 PM, April 16th, 2022
Wally
Really enjoying your Chris Bailey/Saints selection

6:26 PM, April 16th, 2022
Steve Kirkland (host)
Thx W!

6:27 PM, April 16th, 2022
Jeb
Got my NOBRO tix!

6:30 PM, April 16th, 2022
Steve Kirkland (host)
... and Thanks Jeb for finding this (and the MC5) cover(s) by Montreal's Nobro, and sharing with me... love 'em

6:32 PM, April 16th, 2022
Benoît
Yup. The music's confirming the title of the show. thx!

6:48 PM, April 16th, 2022
Steve Kirkland (host)
Hey Benoît...

6:52 PM, April 16th, 2022
Steve Kirkland (host)
Renny, did you go see Wine Lips last night?

6:52 PM, April 16th, 2022
Steve Kirkland (host)
Glad you're enjoying Benoît... are you the serious cyclist Benoît whose name/comments I've seen on other CKCU shows' playlists?

6:58 PM, April 16th, 2022
Renny
No. I figured that going to subterranean club when I've got the lungs of an eighty year old Appalachian coal miner, wasn't a smart idea.

7:07 PM, April 16th, 2022
Benoît
Yup, probably. Year-round, though not as hard-core as some might think. Retired now, so I don't HAVE to cycle when it's -24, as when I had to get to St Joseph blvd in Hull for work. And yes, CKCU's really glommed on me, starting with the much regretted John W. (Aware he does an occasional FB=based thing now) So yeah, I listen to, and comment on, perhaps 5-6 CKCU shows now. Tasty, tasty musics...

7:08 PM, April 16th, 2022
Steve Kirkland (host)
Fair enough, Renny, I'm even less keen than I once was re live shows.

7:25 PM, April 16th, 2022
Wally
Wonderful Sandy Denny cover 👏👌

7:27 PM, April 16th, 2022
Steve Kirkland (host)
Interesting Yo La tengo playing as I watch the sun set over the horizon

7:28 PM, April 16th, 2022
B
Great *Dead Weight*!

7:30 PM, April 16th, 2022
B
Renny & Steve, me also, big fan of live shows, multi-year Black Sheep goer, etc., I'm not going to shows yet. Not with this latest variant being even more catchy, etc. But soon(ish).

7:47 PM, April 16th, 2022
Steve Kirkland (host)
Better soon(ish) than never(ish) B... I bought a Jazzfest pass... lots of high quality musical variety, it's outdoors = room to roam...

7:52 PM, April 16th, 2022
Steve Kirkland (host)
Thanks for listening, Thanks for commenting. Cheers!
