Relaxin' Renny
Gettin' urban with the urbane, Ian Jeans.

1:34 PM, February 23rd, 2022
Ren again.
Urban in the geographical sense, not the ethnomusicological sense.

Hey ho! Welcome to the show! Thanks for tuning in.

Johnny Loan
Enjoying the world tour! the Paris song sounded so much like Iggy in his Lust for Life era

2:02 PM, February 23rd, 2022
Renny
Halifax Facial?! I guess that's when the donair spills it's contents all over your face.

2:02 PM, February 23rd, 2022
Duck from Edmonton
♫You belong to the city!!♬

Ian Jeans (host)
Hey Gentlegypsie, Renny, Johnny, and Duck!

2:07 PM, February 23rd, 2022
Ian Jeans (host)
Good call on the Iggy likeness, Johnny. Never noticed it before.

2:08 PM, February 23rd, 2022
Renny
So nice to see the word host after your name. It's about time.

2:09 PM, February 23rd, 2022
Ian Jeans (host)
Thanks, Renny! I really hope that Change of Heart song IS about a donair.

2:11 PM, February 23rd, 2022
Renny
You've been to Scotland, Ian. Isn't a "Glasgow kiss" a headbutt?

2:12 PM, February 23rd, 2022
Ian Jeans (host)
Yes, I think you're right about the "kiss". A "Glasgow Smile" is way more violent, so that's my warning if you google it.

2:17 PM, February 23rd, 2022
Renny
I've heard that they lock up the booze in Scottish pubs if someone picks the Rezillos' song "Somebody's Gonna Get Their Head Kicked in Tonight" on the jukebox.

Memphis Creep was a stomper

2:34 PM, February 23rd, 2022
Ian Jeans (host)
Agree, JL. Oblivians are house-favourites here at the Riot.

jus luv it when Neil plays a little squeaky harp

2:41 PM, February 23rd, 2022
Ian Jeans (host)
Remember being a cool youngster because we knew what Neil meant by "roll a number"?

2:45 PM, February 23rd, 2022
Renny
My god, a Fall song that I actually enjoy. Most of their songs make me want to off myself.

2:50 PM, February 23rd, 2022
Ian Jeans (host)
The Fall are like musical brussel sprouts; not for everyone.

2:54 PM, February 23rd, 2022
Ian Jeans (host)
Heard this Vibrators song on Blaster Caps (Tuesdays at 2:30) awhile back. Reminded me how much I love it.

2:56 PM, February 23rd, 2022

3:05 PM, February 23rd, 2022
Ian Jeans (host)
Now I got visions of Neil covering the White Album while shootin craps!

3:09 PM, February 23rd, 2022
Renny
So great to have an all punk show like Blaster Caps back on the air.

what the hell...used to sleep in a Laundromat at Davenport & Ave. Rd near yorkville...sittin on the curb one nite...black old 50s hearse pulls up...guy gets out. We chat. Nice guy. Cool car. Neal comes to TO....

3:31 PM, February 23rd, 2022
Renny
That is a cool story. Now there's a musician I'd like to see on our currency (or our stamps). Uncle Neil.

3:37 PM, February 23rd, 2022
old guy
his Father Scott Young wrote article about concert in NY & Neil told him after Old Man was about him...(not the story neil tells about his ranch foreman). Guess could be both... I think he shoulda wrote song about sittin on curb in middle of nite with me, Jackie Boroughs actress later & Solly Zanofski...( luvin spoonfull later...his Daughter is great singer!) u notice they all made it big & im freezin in a shack in the hills...but I got The Mighty!!! jus sayin...;-)
