    Here’s hoping this is the last week the Radio Waterloo studios are closed! Programmers and show hosts should be back in the studio soon, and hopefully we’ll be able to have guests later this summer. So here’s another show of old & new Canadian Content music, with a distinct Canadiana Country flavour.

    Another week, another hour of Canadian Content music. We would have had Woody Woodburn as our guest for an interview and a Live, On-Air, In-Studio performance, but the studio is still closed for the Covid pandemic. Happily, Woody has released an album Woody Woodburn | Better Man Today (stylized W)Better Man Today, so we’ll be playing some of those tracks.

    The studio is being prepared for re-opening — we’re equipping it with hand sanitizer, cleaning wipes, and mic socks. In a couple of weeks we can have our programmers back in the studio, and we’ll open to studio guests some time after that.

    In the meantime, here’s an hour of old and new CanCon for your listening pleasure!

    –Bob.

    Chris Sherren at the microphone
    Chris Sherren
    Today is Victoria Day, a statutory holiday in Canada, and a day when Chris Sherren who fronts Deaf By Design would have been available for a Live, On-Air, In-Studio performance and interview. But we’re still in the middle of the Covid pandemic, and the studio is still closed. So there’s only recorded music today, and we start off with a few tracks by Chris.

    Be sure to check out Chris’s show Into The Void, which airs Fridays from 10:00pm to 11:00pm, with a replay on Sundays at 6:30pm.

    And we have Canadian Content music at two extremes of the genre spectrum: Technical Death Metal, Black Metal, Progressive Death Metal, and Alternative Metal, all followed by Alternative Rock, Synth Rock, and maybe some Folk.

    There have been no podcasts for the CKMS Community Connections music shows; podcasts will resume once we have guests back in the studio.

    Bel-lig-er-ent | belijerent / (adjective) 1. hostile and aggressive (album cover by Kwazzi) I would have had Toronto Hiphop artist Kwazzi in the studio today, but we’re still closed for the Covid pandemic. So I’m playing a brand new track Handouts, as well as some tracks from his Belligerent album. Say it with me: “Kwa-Zay”! He’s addicted to Instagram, so check him out at @therealkwazzi.


    Attract Hazard | Sam Nabi (album cover) Sam Nabi crouches in front of some plants an dhis stereo I’m also featuring local Kitchener Hiphop artist Sam Nabi, with some tracks from his new album Attract Hazard. You can find Sam and his music on Bandcamp.

    And to round out the hour, there’s a bunch of new (to me) CanCon music from Indigenous artists in the Nikamowin catalogue.
