Wally
I do like the Lines (the band) but I wouldn't drop the record, that wouldn't be nice.

6:14 PM, June 22nd, 2024
hillbilly
Hi Steve & Wally! I drop your names all the time!;-)

6:18 PM, June 22nd, 2024

Steve Kirkland (host)
Hi Wally... I just dropped something here in the studio (but thankfully wasn't an audible glitch),,,

6:26 PM, June 22nd, 2024
Steve Kirkland (host)
Good evening hillbilly!

Wally
Great to hear Goodbye Wudaokou on the radio but I'm not sure I know how to pronounce the band name.

6:36 PM, June 22nd, 2024
Wally
I heard we lost James Chance last week :(

7:15 PM, June 22nd, 2024

Wally
The Black Watch are great and they have another brand new album just released - they just keep pumping them out 👌

7:19 PM, June 22nd, 2024
Wally
That's too young especially as we are get close to that age

7:20 PM, June 22nd, 2024
Benoît

Thanks Frankie!

Yeah (going on from Frankie), I love hearing great music, especially from artists I just don't know! THAT is what's so great about CKCU -- not to overlook that every host has different knowledge and tastes.

7:58 PM, June 22nd, 2024
Be
That would be Benoît

Relistening, esp. for the first part I missed. I don't think I've EVER heard a Dance to the music by a band other than Sly's!
