Volume Contrast Brilliance with supper is a great combination 👌

Benoît
Yay, the playlist! And good evening all.

Hi Benoit 👋

Steve Kirkland (host)
Hey Wally, Benoît... literally the closest shave ever arriving in the studio... 4 seconds to spare... ridiculous confluence of construction, street and highway closures, football (sort of) at Lansdowne turning a 7-minute drive into half-an-hour of detours.

6:26 PM, July 15th, 2023
Wally
Yes traffic was crazy today and thankfully I didn't have to too far today. Glad you made it though. Hadn't heard that Bauhaus song in a long time.

7:05 PM, July 15th, 2023
Benoît
I was in the garden, weeding, and that band 7 singer came on and I thought "ah, somebody else sounds a bit like ALVVAYS. Which, of course, it was...

7:06 PM, July 15th, 2023
B
Steve, "you're lucky". I was out cycling yesterday, and Bronson was really bad, Isabella also; but the QE Drive as well, from the canal all around Dow's Lake. The 'best' was traffic backed up from Dow's Lake on Prince of Wales, all the way to where the Green Valley Restaurant used to be. Probably a kilometre, or not much under that. IT'S MADNESS!

B
'band & singer'

7:09 PM, July 15th, 2023
Wally
I had wanted to see ALVVAYS at Bluesfest this year but sadly didn't make it

7:09 PM, July 15th, 2023
Steve Kirkland (host)
Yes, B, I am lucky. No argument there. MADNESS indeed.

7:11 PM, July 15th, 2023
B
Thanks for that Arthur Brown track, Steve. I've never heard much from them outside of... you know.

7:11 PM, July 15th, 2023
Wally
Another band I hadn't heard in a long time - Rational Youth - remember seeing them live back in the day - they had a bit of an early OMD sound.

7:12 PM, July 15th, 2023
B
And now for a little industrial backbeat...

7:21 PM, July 15th, 2023
Steve Kirkland (host)
You two are on it tonight, Wally and Benoît!

7:24 PM, July 15th, 2023
Steve Kirkland (host)
... for which I'm glad

7:32 PM, July 15th, 2023
Heavy Ben
Hi Wally and Steve! Rational Youth are still playing, or at least Tracy Howe is. Saw them at TARG about 5 years ago.

7:37 PM, July 15th, 2023
Steve Kirkland (host)
Hi Back HB!

7:44 PM, July 15th, 2023
Wally
Thanks Heavy Ben, didn't know that and sadly missed that when they played here. Would have been cool to see them again.

Ciao!
