Sitting comfortably

Hello gents!

6:08 PM, December 20th, 2025
Benoît
Nice, odd assortment. Fun.

Excellent tunes Sean, perfect for preparing supper.

6:44 PM, December 20th, 2025
Sean McFee (host)
Hi Manmohan!

Sean McFee (host)
Odd is something I can do.

I hadn't been violated by the CKCU silence detector in a while, but the streak is broken!

It lurks ready to pounce

Enemy to all tracks with great dynamic contrast.

Never heard this version of MN'S before. Nice

7:16 PM, December 20th, 2025
Sean McFee (host)
It's way better than their cover of Revolution 9 :-D.

7:18 PM, December 20th, 2025
B
New Pornos! Ain't no other group like 'em!

7:29 PM, December 20th, 2025
B
A tiny snippet of Revolution 9 was played recently on CBC 2 (classics), "number noine, number noine", in the intro to one if the featurettes. It was weird to hear.

7:31 PM, December 20th, 2025
Sean McFee (host)
Couldn't agree more! I regret not discovering them until about 2010.

7:31 PM, December 20th, 2025
Sean McFee (host)
Bless the CBC (seriously).

7:33 PM, December 20th, 2025
B
Agree. Bigly. CBC-Radio-Canada is, are, a blessing. In the USA they would have been ashes long ago.

7:37 PM, December 20th, 2025

Time for the Greek prog-folk of the evening.

7:40 PM, December 20th, 2025
Satellite Birdhouse
We're really loving this playlist. So fun!

7:44 PM, December 20th, 2025
Sean McFee (host)
Awesome, thanks for saying so!

7:44 PM, December 20th, 2025
B
Wow, this Circle Game is so "dirty" in the background singin'. Pleasantly a little off at times. No Autotune, no producer saying "let's do it again, folks".

7:50 PM, December 20th, 2025
B
Also, modern re-digitisation reveals much more detail than the LPs at the time

7:50 PM, December 20th, 2025

That is apparently Crosby, Stills & Nash!

7:51 PM, December 20th, 2025
Benoît
Hah! Didn't know. In any case, they sang real organically, those guys. Those two albums (CSN, CSNY) still pay so well. (Satellite, surely you know them?)

7:54 PM, December 20th, 2025
B
"play" so well

7:55 PM, December 20th, 2025
Sean McFee (host)
Yup, all natural singing, as it should be, dammit!

7:55 PM, December 20th, 2025
Sean McFee (host)
Joni probably gave them a single take so they wouldn't upstage :).

Good show.

7:58 PM, December 20th, 2025

Read your comments. Good night!

I rudely forgot my on-air shoutouts but thank you to everyone who commented, it is always appreciated! Until next time…
