Is there a better way to spend a rainy Sunday than listening to this amazing show ? For me, right now, no. Pure bliss

Neil & Drake, The Dancing Labrador
Happy Pre= St. Patrick's Day, Manmohan. Odd that an artist from Korea would remind me of Nina Hagen from Germany, but hey.......musical minds work in strange ways........or perhaps it's just my ears that got twisted in my sleep last night lol

1:12 PM, March 16th, 2025

PeterB
GROOVIN' out on the (S. Korean (?) sounds of Leealchi. Pleasingly poppy. ;^)

1:13 PM, March 16th, 2025

N&DTDL

Hi PeterB! I hear the Yoko too! Ha ha. Funny you mentioned her as I just had her Fly album on the turntable yesterday.

1:21 PM, March 16th, 2025

Manmohan Panesar (host)
N&DTDL and P and all. Happy St. Patrick's Day to you and to everyone out there. I shoulda planned some Irish music this afternoon but alas I did not.

1:23 PM, March 16th, 2025

p
Florence Adooni "an ordinary exercise in unity". INDEED. Will be diggin into that one, for sure.

1:44 PM, March 16th, 2025

P
... DONE, acquired on BC, to be "curated" into the collection asap.

1:46 PM, March 16th, 2025

Manmohan Panesar (host)
Hi P. I'm going to go out on a limb and say the Florence Adooni album is my favourite of the year so far. I could not eliminate tracks to play so most of the album is on this aft. It's so darn good.

1:48 PM, March 16th, 2025

Drake
Hey....special "shout out" to Junie (co-mascot) from Drake......"woof woof woof".

1:57 PM, March 16th, 2025

Drake and Neil that two-leg one: HA! Every day is ABSENTEEISM DAY. It is a policy.

1:59 PM, March 16th, 2025

Neil & DL

Nineteen Seventeen with Tony Allen.........https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/afrobeat-pioneer-tony-allen-dies/

2:10 PM, March 16th, 2025

Manmohan Panesar (host)
Thanks N&DTDL! Even though Tony passed away about 5 years ago, there still seems to be music from him that is yet to be released, like this new album that I played today. So he lives on!

2:13 PM, March 16th, 2025

N & DL
You were playing Ousmane and I thought to myself, "how cool it would be to see James Brown singing with these guys"......................and lo and behold, the very next track on the playlist come on........."Get Up James" Les Ambassadeurs du Motel de Bamako. You psychic, Manmohan WOW

2:33 PM, March 16th, 2025

N & DL
And may there continue to be things released with Tony !! I am sure everyone wanted to play with him. I must search and see if maybe he did something with Tony Levin (my fave bass player) with Peter G perhaps. I shall dig about the net.

Manmohan Panesar (host)
Thanks Eggball! Exactly, only here and nowhere else!

2:42 PM, March 16th, 2025

Manmohan Panesar (host)
Thanks robert p in gatineau! I'm glad you're enjoying the tunes.

2:43 PM, March 16th, 2025

robert p in gatineau

2:58 PM, March 16th, 2025

Manmohan Panesar (host)

3:01 PM, March 16th, 2025

Neil & DL
That is most definitely the #1 CKCU sport !! Sunday afternoons Island Earth carries all the best games, however !!!

3:38 PM, March 16th, 2025

N & DL
We are Team Gatineau, Robert P; along with Dez from Deztination Worldwide.

Manmohan Panesar (host)
Neil & DL, yeah we're better than the NFL, or whatever others are on Sunday afternoons. We make you feel, dance, cry, laugh, and even screech when things get weird.
