The Tune Up #20 – October 30, 2026 – Halloween episode

Happy Halloween Eve! I tried to find a variety of themed jazz music for the occasion. It’s mostly songs with something in the title, or stuff I associate with spookiness. For example, the eerie outro to Toronto band Badbadnotgood’s “IV”, and the haunting “I Don’t Know” by Badbadnotgood feat. Samuel T. Herring. The Tune Up plays an evolving mix of jazz which blends between classic, experimental and raw sounds. Thanks for listening!

Tracks played:

  • Philly Joe Jones Sextet – Blues for Dracula
  • Wayne Shorter – Speak No Evil
  • Jimmy Smith – Theme From “Bewitched”
  • Jackie McLean – Demon’s Dance
  • Lee Morgan – Candy
  • Johnny Mercer – That Old Black Magic
  • Badbadnotgood – IV
  • Badbadnotgood, Samuel T. Herring – I Don’t Know
  • Yesterday’s New Quintet – Keeper Of My Soul
  • Eugene McDaniels – Freedom Death Dance
  • Belita Woods – Magic Corner

CKMS News -2026-10-24- Kitchener Voters Stayed Home in 2022. Is It Any Different This Time?

CKMS News -2026-10-24- Kitchener Voters Stayed Home in 2022. Is It Any Different This Time?

Eren Yoruk

Kitchener, ON – In Kitchener, only about one in five eligible voters cast a ballot in the 2022 municipal election. With Election Day approaching on October 26, the city is introducing new ways to encourage more residents to vote.

A total of 8,208 people voted during the advance voting period between October 8 and 20, an increase of 42 per cent compared with the previous municipal election.

Amanda Fusco, Kitchener’s director of legislated services, said voter turnout depends on several factors, including voter fatigue, campaign activity and public awareness of municipal government.

“Voter turnout is so complex,” Fusco said.

This year, the city introduced new voting options, including home voting visits, advance voting at retirement homes and long-term care facilities, drive-thru voting and “shop and vote” locations at Fairview Park Mall and Kitchener Market.

Fusco said drive-thru voting attracted just over 1,000 voters over two days, while around 1,000 people voted at Fairview Park Mall. Another 250 cast ballots at Kitchener Market.

Feedback on drive-thru voting was positive, with residents citing convenience and accessibility. However, the city has no specific voter turnout target for 2026, beyond hoping to improve on the previous election.

Fusco said municipal decisions directly affect residents’ neighbourhoods, parks, roads and libraries.

“We want everyone to make their mark,” she said.

Eligible Kitchener residents can vote on October 26 at any of the 33 voting locations within their ward. Voters must bring identification showing their name and current address.

For more details about voting in Kitchener, visit City of Kitchener website.

“My Pet Cthulhu” by Troy King with Yenny on Regime Radio

Local, self published author: Troy King joins Yenny on Regime Radio, to share about his book: “My Pet Cthulhu.” You can find the book at: Lookin’ For Heroes, A Second Look Books, KW Bookstore and Studio Comix Press.
From the back cover:
“LIVE…LAUGH, LOVECRAFT!”
“When Best friends, Howie and Sonia find a mysterious egg on the beach, they are shocked when out pops not a fish or a bird, but Cthulhu, Lord Of Madness! Instead of allowing him to rend the world asunder with cosmic fury, they decide to fill his heart and mind with kindness instead of chaos! But raising an Ancient God is not easy!”
“From one of the writers behind the acclaimed science fiction epic, ‘Starship Redemption: The Shattered Mirror’ comes a heartwarming, and hilarious tale about growing up, in the whimsical stylings of Dr. Seuss and H.P. Lovecraft!”

Regime Radio Yenny and Troy King
