NO CRAP RADIO VER. 1.27 TUE. FEB 11/25 REBLAST 9PM

Leave a comment

I am shedding the skin I’m in.  Becoming someone new.  I can’t control it.  Being human.

A man of Faith.  Or Zany Zealotry, I don’t know which.  Don’t care…

You become smarter if you listen to music.  Especially if you’ve never heard it before.  A 5 minute song by Coltrane can contain as much genius as a book by Dylan Thomas or a picture from Picasso.

Tonight some jazz from the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, a twisted Dylan cover and the immortal Nina Simone!  A one hit wonder, a struggle for pleasure and the skasters stop by.

This weeks site.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBQ-IoHfimQ.  It could be your child.

If you want normal go somewhere else.

Movie recommendation  Book of Eli with Denzel Washington.  The power of a man of hope

The vandals are at the gates!  (Look ‘em up)

1 Comment

On the February 8th, 2025 episode of “Rethink Your Retirement,” host Sunny Kochar discussed the foundational aspects of retirement planning, including taxes and mortgage payments.

The episode explored how conventional wisdom about these expenses might hinder retirement and emphasized the importance of tax planning.

It also covered the three ways money is taxed in Canada, the reasons for retirement failures, and the three universal rules of money.

The episode concluded with an introduction to the “6 Sequential Steps to Financial Freedom.”

    A commercial meat cannery is opening in New Hamburg to ship tens of thousands of pounds of meat around the world

    1 Comment

    Host: Leah Gerber

    Food insecurity is a major issue around the world, and made worse by conflicts and natural disasters. The Mennonite Central Committee is an organization that provides relief for people impacted by these disasters. Part of that work is to send canned meat. To this end, the organization has opted to open a commercial grade meat cannery in New Hamburg with the aim to produce 50,000 cans, or about 90,000 pounds of meat in its first year. 

    Radio Waterloo spoke with Michelle Brenneman, the Executive Director of MCC Ontario as well as volunteer Doug Wagner to hear more about the new cannery and what will be involved with its operation.

    CKMS News -2025-02-05- Waterloo council endorses “sobering” homelessness report

    dan kellar
    Waterloo, ON –     Waterloo city council voted unanimously to endorse the recent report from the     Association of Municipalities of Ontario which found that more than 80,000 people were homes in Ontario in 2024, a rise of more than 25% since 2022.  

    The report, titled “Municipalities Under Pressure: The Growing Human and Financial Cost of Ontario’s Homelessness Crisis” was released on January 9th of this year.

    Beyond the numbers, the report offers ideas to address homelessness by focusing on long-term housing instead of the go-to actions of creating temporary emergency shelters and promoting police backed enforcement of property laws. 

    This show features audio from the January 27th meeting where councillor Vasic and mayor McCabe spoke about the findings in the report, and heard from staff member Sandy Little who created a summary of the report for council.  Little notes that the conclusions and recommendations from the report are being investigated at the city and region.

    Hiya.  Welcome to the reblast!

    I’m back.

    More scars but earned with honour.

    Still standing.

    Meaner than yesterday.

    no crap radio survives in new versions.  i’ve spent the last dozen years collecting music.

    you’re going to hear lots of it.  the amazing legacy that brilliant people have given us astounds me.  

    i’ve been playing music for 45 years and still find new genius in sometimes the simplest melody.

    An unbroken language that has defined our humanness.  The brilliance of a trumpet player in the 1930’s can be as inspired as a folk singer from the 60s or a dub artist of the 2000s.

    I’m running everyday as I have heard Buddha is just over the next hill and I want to walk in his shadow.  I earned the karma.

    Not yet an ex hippie.

    This weeks recommended site.  http://www.wisdomofchopra.com

    “The fear of death is more to be feared than death itself.”  Publius Syrus   a roman slave

    Every week I promise you music you’ve never heard before along with lots of good stuff from 100 years of recorded sound.   To me thelonious monk is the same as moby who’s the same as dylan who’s the same as prince.  So… jazz, dub, folk, ambient, ska, punk, reggae and more styles than you’ve ever heard. music that mirrors it’s time.

    Airbnbs and Vrbo rentals are now limited in Waterloo

    Leave a comment

    Host: Leah Gerber

    Short term rentals such as Airbnb or Vrbo rentals will now be limited to an owner’s principal residence in Waterloo. Waterloo city council voted unanimously earlier this month to this change as a response to complaints from neighbours about the rental units as well as to the ongoing housing crisis.

    Radio Waterloo spoke with Waterloo mayor Dorothy McCabe for the reasoning for this change, as well as City of Kitchener Manager of Licensing Kristin VanDerGeld to ask if Kitchener staff and council are planning a similar move. 

    Mayor McCabe said that city staff and council understand that people use short term rentals to supplement their income. She said that she still supports people doing this, but they need to do it in their primary residence, and that this move is an effort to find a balance so that other residents are not negatively impacted by someone’s rental property.

    everything I do is a self portrait

    An unfortunate truth is that revolution is never a passive act.

    Trump wants to not tax tips.  So now businesses can pay a lot less and we become the arbiters of a wage slaves existence.  It will put billions of moolah into the pockets of our betters.  Medieval evil.  Gotta give it to ‘em.  Old tactics are the best tactics.

    Songs of denial.  Songs of Redemption. Songs of hope.  Some you can dance to.  Accapella Nico!

    Quote for today 

    “To be nobody-but-yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.”  e.e. cummings

    This weeks movie.  Straw Dogs.  Directed by Peckinpaw with his trademark graphic violence.  Mild mannered Dustin Hoffman strikes back at his wife’s rapists but gets caught up in the cycle of insanity of a quiet local English village.  Complex interwoven story lines and it begs the question of retribution.

    Now you might not think it but I’ve been told I’m a bit abrasive and shouldn’t point out the truth.  It’s not my job to make the truth palatable.

    This weeks web site recommendation: https://risingtidefoundation.net. featuring the writing of one of the most brilliant women on the net, Cynthia Chung.  An astounding range of topics that dissect history and politics into wonderful stories featuring complex interrelationships that resonate through history.  You can get her free stuff sent to you or support her sub stack pages.  This is the second time I have recommended her work.  That’s how good it is.  She makes me feel slow and stupid because her writing is so well researched.

    Lots of contrariness. Yeah, I’m like that.  Don’t care.  lkj, phil oaks, an angry lightfoot cover.

    A really good opener from a Grammy nominated Memphis based band called Southern Avenue.  And i don’t impress easily.  Good luck!

    nico-all tomorrows parties 

    morphine-take me with you

    The program has been meeting for well over ten years, and in the last few years has really begun to pick up steam with 2400 attendees in 2024.

    Radio Waterloo spoke with Sarah Kelly, who organizes the program for the City of Waterloo, as well as long-time participant, volunteer host and presenter Rick Chambers to speak about the program and what exactly is drawing all these people together.

    Waterloo, ON – During the     city council meeting on January 27th, Waterloo policy planner Adam Zufferli presented an update on the city’s plan to reduce the number of parking spaces required for housing developments which include at least 25% affordable housing units.

    Fewer parking spaces translates into a smaller footprint of each unit and a lower cost of development.  The parking space reduction initiative fits into the city’s affordable housing strategy and is a part of the city’s Housing Accelerator Fund plan that was approved by the federal government in April 2024. 

    Council voted to receive the report and to instruct staff to “finalize the process, legal agreement template, and monitoring framework for reviewing parking reduction requests for affordable housing units”.  Public comments on the plan were due on the day of the presentation and Zufferli mentioned they will be included in the final presentation in a month’s time.

    CKMS News -2025-01-24- A deep connection to place brings new classical composer back to Waterloo to launch debut album.

    dan kellar
    Waterloo, ON –     The Icarus Album, which is the debut work of new classical composer Erik Lankin, is being released today with a listening party and discussion at the Waterloo North Mennonite Church, a place with deep connection to his family. Lankin, who “grew up slowly in Kitchener-Waterloo” and is now based in Montreal, has reinterpreted the myth of Icarus and Daedalus for this album, as a metaphor for losing his father to mental illness.

    Lankin says the musicians involved in the project are some of canada’s top classical soloists and neoclassical producers.

    In an early review of The Icarus Album, Robin B. James of Igloo Magazine wrote “This amazing work of Erik Lankin creates a new triumph, which I would place high in the pantheon of significant human musical expressions.”

    This show features an interview with The Icarus Album composer Erik Lankin. The listening party is a free event which starts at 7pm.

    This weeks movie: v for vendetta.  A modern classic that tells the tale of us my friends.  Revolution is nothing new.  We usually leave it too late and we become the slaves that they want.  The hero wears a mask.  He could be you, he could be me.

    John Hurt starred as winston smith in 1984 and as a very big brother type leader in v.  Amazing range.  Brilliant twist.

    Gutsy farmers are taking on the challenge of re-invigorating the Canadian wool market

    Leave a comment

    Host: Leah Gerber

    These days, most Canadians source their sweaters, socks, hats, mitts, blankets, and all the other things we use yarn and cloth for, from abroad. The textile industry was once a major part of Waterloo Region and across Canada, but it’s been globalized away. For many farmers, selling their fleece isn’t worth the cost of transporting it, so much of Canada’s fleece is thrown away or burned. 

    But, there is a small contingent of people in Ontario joining in a movement to make their living in a local textile industry. This includes raising sheep or other fibre-bearing animals, processing their fleece, and selling new products.

    Radio Waterloo spoke with Romy Schill, Lindsay Webber and Donna Hancock, all women who keep fibre animals and have blazed new trails to make products from Canadian wool.
