CKMS Community Connections for 6 July 2020

Leave a comment

Because of Covid we’re still not having any guests in the studio, and this week’s there are no phone interviews either, so it’s another show packed full of new Canadian Content music.

There are new tracks from Kingston’s Willy Nilly, JC Townsend, station favourites The Soviet Influence, local Cambridge group Shy Harry, and from Storry, whom we hope to have on the phone for an interview in the next few weeks.

But if you’ll indulge me for a few minutes, we’ll end the show with a bit of comparative musicology. I’d heard about the Vocaloid musical voice synthesizer before, but finally found something worthy of radio airtime when I read Vocaloids: Our Friends Electric by Mariana Timony writing for Bandcamp Daily. In the last 10 minutes of the show you’ll hear Offend In Every Way played by Beam Morrison using a Vocaloid synthesizer, followed by the original by The White Stripes, and finishing off with a bit of, um, old-fashioned synth music. Not new, and not CanCon, but this week that’s what caught my ear.

–Bob.

Show Notes

Mo Markham in the studio
Mo Markham on CKMS Community Connections 1 July 2019
Mo Markham is back, but not in the studio. Because of Covid the studio is still closed to guests, so Mo joins us online.

The same is true for KW Vegfest. After the huge turnout in Carl Zehr Square at Kitchener City Hall the last two years, this year KW Vegfest is going virtual. Mo and Bob Jonkman talk about how that will work.

The interview starts at 15m31s.

Although show hosts are back in the studio, we’re still not open for guests. So today I’m catching up on some of the artists I didn’t get to last week, and revisiting the music of some previous guests.

There’ll be podcasts for those episodes with guests in the studio, or on the phone. But today, it’s just the music list.

    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!

    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.
