Steve Kirkland (host)
Louisa, off the top of my head... TEKE TEKE , ADG7 (Ak Dan Gwang Chil), Sun Ra Arkestra at Jazzfest... Thanks for the link to Iggy's show, not the first such referral!

7:12 PM, June 3rd, 2023

Dave JC.
I think I might have referred you, but who knows, and if so, prob one of many! I should be going to TEKE::TEKE & Kokoroko. Hope to see Mr Pop too....Did I sense a theme. Like the HEPCAT amongst the others.

7:30 PM, June 3rd, 2023

Louisa
Georgia Hubley - she’s a favourite seeing Yo La Tengo at a small club show in Glasgow is in my top 10

7:35 PM, June 3rd, 2023

Steve Kirkland (host)
Louisa, I think Yo La Tengo are playing Toronto and Montreal later this month... maybe sold out??

7:37 PM, June 3rd, 2023

B
OLD, OLD BEATLES TUNE!

Re Beastyist, I thought it might have been the Beastie Boys, that song. Paid in Full? Twilight World?

7:49 PM, June 3rd, 2023

Steve Kirkland (host)
B, from one of my two Fab Four favourites

7:50 PM, June 3rd, 2023

Steve Kirkland (host)
B, got you on the Beasties angle, Cheers

7:50 PM, June 3rd, 2023

Louisa
Yes but on “school nights” : ( if there are still tickets for Montreal Corona Theatre might have to play hooky : )

7:51 PM, June 3rd, 2023

Steve Kirkland (host)
Dave, no theme tonight (truth be told, I'm scrambling because I accidentally left a lot of the music I intended to play tonight at home)

7:51 PM, June 3rd, 2023

B
Yo La Tengo: 06-15 Montreal, Quebec - Corona Theatre 06-16 Toronto, Ontario - Phoenix Concert Theatre (from their tour page)

Great show, as always DJ SK! Paid in Full, classic hip hop song originally by Eric B & Rakim. " Fish, which is my favourite dish But without no money, it's still a wish"

7:55 PM, June 3rd, 2023

Dave JC
Never have guessed, ever the professional.

Thanks for the show!

7:58 PM, June 3rd, 2023

Steve Kirkland (host)
Cheers IanJ, I added that detail to the playlist... didn't know that, hip hop and I never having been the most intimate of bedfellows...
