HYOS: Shuffle Time

HYOS: Shuffle Time is a show where you get the experience of listening on shuffle without the chaos.

I love listening to my library on shuffle. It gives me the chance to surprise myself with tracks I’d forgotten about, get more familiar with tracks I haven’t heard much, and spontaneously meet my old favourites again. Plus, I still get a kick from the whiplash of jumping from quiet folk to ecstatic dance music to abstract jazz. I won’t subject you to the complete disorder of shuffle, but I can give you a taste (with some of my own chatter on the side!). Expect music from any genre, any time period, anywhere in the world.

Recording

Pardon some technical hiccups and such—first show, still figuring some things out. Altogether not a bad first show!

Tracks played

In true shuffle nature I recommend looking at this after listening, so you can be surprised by the music itself and check it out later. But it’s up to you!

  • The Sugarcubes — “Motorcrash” (1988)
  • Étoile de Dakar — “Thiely” (1978)
  • INXS — “New Sensation” (1987)
  • Power Trip — “Executioner’s Tax” (2017)
  • X — “Alphabetland” (2020)
  • Masashi Hamauzu — “Blitz Off!” (2000)
  • Jamie xx — “Sleep Sound” (2015)
  • Antonio Vivaldi (cond. Trevor Pinnock, perf. The English Concert) — “Presto” (from Concerto No. 2 in G minor, Op. 8, RV 315, “Summer”) (1725)
  • Sonny Rollins — “Strode Rode” (1956)
  • Loona — “Loonatic” (2017)
  • Donnie Trumpet & the Social Experiment (feat. Jamila Woods) — “Sunday Candy” (2015)
  • William Finn (perf. Keith Byron Kirk, Malcolm Gets, and company) — “Heart and Music” (1995)
  • R. D. Burman (perf. Asha Bhosle) — “Teri Meri Yaari Badi Purani” (1974)

  • Pete Townshend — “And I Moved” (1980)
  • John Lee Hooker — “Boom Boom” (1962)

CKMS Community Connections for 15 December 2025: KWCon Christmas Music

Show Notes

(a Christmas tree drawn from a spiraling music staff)
 

There was no guest in the studio today, so Bob played some KWCon Christmas music by Waterloo Region musicians. Except for The Small Town Titans, but Bob couldn’t let such a catchy tune escape unplayed.

CKMS News -2025-12-15- Police budget push-back as cops ask for another 20 million a year and a new building

CKMS News -2025-12-15- Police budget push-back as cops ask for another 20 million a year and a new building.

dan kellar
Kitchener, ON – As the Waterloo regional police ask for another $20,000,000 dollars to be added to their yearly budget, in addition to $173,000,000 for a new “communications centre”, residents and even some regional councillors are questioning the ballooning expenditures. A primary concern is that yearly multi-million dollar increases to the police budgets are starving other services of funding since council is pressured to keep tax increases low.

The Waterloo Region police budget, which was over $230,00,000 in 2025, has increased by more than $100,000,000 since 2014, and has more than doubled since 2013.  This year’s request of over $250,000,000 will represent over 30% of the regional budget.  In comparison, housing and homelessness services are budgeted at $165,200,000 for 2026.

The increase in the police budget will result in an average 6.75% property tax increase for regional residents, that’s another 57$ a month beyond all the previous yearly increases.

The police presented their budget to the Regional Council at the end of November and in a council meeting on December 3rd council heard from the police association and residents.  While the police say more money to the force and more cops “will help save residents” delegates noted that funding upstream services, such as housing options and mental health supports, have more impact on reducing crime than more armed cops with “boots on the ground”.

In a surprise move ahead of the budget vote on December 16th, Kitchener Mayor Berry Vrbanovic put forth a motion to block the police’s capital budget saying the new communications centre is “beyond their mandate” and it “is highly unlikely that all three emergency services would engage in this partnership in any foreseeable future”. However the same motion calls for the approval of the $20,000,000 yearly increase to the police budget.

This show features audio from both the December 3rd and November 26th council meetings.
