The Wavelength
Monday May 30th, 2022 with Joe Reilly
WIN TICKETS TO SEE VOIVOD - Read the playlist! Some new releases (Jim Bryson), some Depeche Mode, some interview clips, some upcoming concerts and some songs about why we need gun control to protect children from massacres.

If you'd like to WIN TICKETS TO SEE VOIVOD, read to the bottom of this note. We open paying tribute to the passing of Andy Fletcher, the long-time keyboard player with Depeche Mode. We hear some new music on the show today from Jim Bryson, Destroyer, Big Thief, Abigail Lapell and Andrew Bird. We also feature some new music from the duo Ombiigizi - an Indigenous duo that recently released its debut album Sewn Back Together and will be appearing at Club SAW on Thursday, June 2. We also feature a snippet of an interview with Daniel Monkman of the group. https://www.ticketweb.ca/event/ombiigizi-frown-line-kosmavermo-club-saw-tickets/11994285?pl=spectrasonic https://ombiigizi.bandcamp.com/album/sewn-back-together In hour 2 we play some music about guns and children in light of recent events with another mass murder of elementary school children in the USofA. Sad, shocking... but perhaps not surprising since all politicians in the USA seem prepared to do when this happens is offer up "Thoughts and Prayers" as noted by the Drive By Truckers. Finally we play a new song from Voivod and snippet of an interview with Snake of the group. Fronting an aggressive hard-rock-metal-thrash band you might be surprised by his message of hopefulness and calling for people to treat others with kindness. The group is playing at The Bronson Centre on Thursday, June 2. https://www.ticketweb.ca/event/voivod-bronson-centre-theatre-tickets/11961955?pl=spectrasonic If you'd like to win a pair of tickets to that show, simply put your name and email address in the playlist's Interactive CKCU Comment section on the right. Give me one sentence on why you want to see the show... just for fun! I will make a random draw from all those who enter on this program and the Guest List on Thursday. You will be informed by email on Thursday at around 6 p.m. Enjoy and take care.
