Renny's Riot
Wednesday September 3rd, 2025 with Radicalized Renny
Old school punk, new releases, old recordings, cheesy electric pianos, big greasy organs, instrumentals, almost instrumentals and even the devil's music....JAZZ! What do we protest against every week? Bland, soulless, commercial radio crap!

Just scrolled down the playlist, Renny. Thank you for "Old Dog Blue" on a difficult day. You're the best, man !

Not musical (except here and now) but, back when it meant "those big tall goddam handlebars on bikes", I always thought that "ape hangers" was such a great nickname. And g'day all!

1:38 PM, September 3rd, 2025
Renny G (host)
Hey B. & N. Thanks for tuning in.

1:41 PM, September 3rd, 2025
Renny G (host)
Why not, Benoît, "ape hangers" would work. I mean the big long bike saddles on those bikes were called "banana seats".

1:42 PM, September 3rd, 2025
Benoît
I think the expression may have been more of an unkind take on motorcycle gang members. At least initially.

Frankie
Lemmy was in the Rocking Vicars for awhile. I hope they paid royalties to the Who.

1:56 PM, September 3rd, 2025
Benoît
I like this turn you've taken occasionally, that of playing 2-3 songs by the same artist, even -- and why not? -- off the one record.

1:57 PM, September 3rd, 2025
Frankie
"Vickers" is the proper later spelling.

2:00 PM, September 3rd, 2025
Renny G (host)
It's usually a Canadian group because I have to play 35% Canadian content. A quota I only fulfill by hook or by crook.

2:01 PM, September 3rd, 2025
Renny G (host)
I'll fix it now, thanks for spotting that Frankie.

Thanks for the brogue!

2:03 PM, September 3rd, 2025
Renny G (host)
Aye lad, the least Ah could do.

2:04 PM, September 3rd, 2025
Benoît
Well, be it all for the 'wrong' reasons, it still gives the listener a better sample of the record, of the artist.

2:04 PM, September 3rd, 2025
Frankie
Renny, I think you're correct there with your spelling.. It appears that, the band changed its spelling to the "Rockin' Vickers," before they recorded anything.

When CKCU first started it was and AOR radio station. Album oriented rock. They'd often play the whole album or the complete side of the album. But music was different then, as was the station's format.

Benoît
Renny: I rememeber 'free form radio' on CHEZ and on Montreal's CHOM. It lasted *le temps d'une chanson*...

Just arrived and diggin' the Wreckless Eric tune!! A guy that never got enough recognition this side of the Atlantic. Looks like another Great show!!!

Renny G (host)
Hey Dave. Thanks for listening. I totally agree about Wreckless E.

Love love loooove all the organ. This is awesome.

2:43 PM, September 3rd, 2025
Frankie
This has to be Wild Bill playing organ on the Louis Jordan track.

2:45 PM, September 3rd, 2025
Renny G (host)
Give Frankie a cigar because that is correct. He was the arranger for the Timpany Five for a number of years.

Today's show was perfect

2:54 PM, September 3rd, 2025

Thanks Johnny

The miracle of music has once again turned my day right around. A sensational show once again, Renny ! Playlist was just killing it already when you spun Jackie Mittoo and rolled into Oscar Peterson Trio! You are the vinyl master !

Renny G (host)
Thank you all for listening and your comments. Take care and have a wonderful week.

Great stuff for everyone, thanks.

I will never forget that you played "Old Dog Blue" for me today, Renny. You have a "Get Outta Jail Free" card with me for life, brother !! I will get my number to you; and you can call me anytime, from anywhere, with any problem, and I will be there for you.
