The Zodiac	Taurus - The Voluptuary	Cosmic Sounds	Elektra	1967	The Zodiac: Cosmic Sounds is a 1967 collaborative concept album on the theme of the signs of the Zodiac. It was issued by Elektra Records in and featured early use of the Moog synthesizer by Paul Beaver, with music written by Mort Garson, words by Jacques Wilson, and narration by Cyrus Faryar. Garson brought together a mixture of musicians, most of whom were not credited on the album sleeve. Musician and electronic instrument collector Paul Beaver, who had done music effects for films, was chosen to perform on the Moog synthesizer on the album since he was one of the few people on the West Coast who knew how to set up and use the synthesizer at the time. Beaver and Moog went to the California Audio Engineering Society convention in 1967 to showcase the Moog Synthesizer for the first time on the West Coast.Emil Richards, who had worked with such musicians as Frank Zappa, Marvin Gaye and Henry Mancini, was chosen to provide an assortment of percussive instrumental surprises throughout the album. Bassist Carol Kaye and drummer Hal Blaine, both top on-demand session musicians, were The Zodiac's rhythm section. Bud Shank, a top flute performer, and keyboardist Mike Melvoin were also used. Jacques Wilson wrote the album's narration, and folk singer Cyrus Faryar was chosen (suggested by Hassilev) to narrate over the album's exotic instrumentation.		0:11:54 (Pop-up)
Broadcast	We've Got Time "We've Got Time" by "Broadcast"	Work And Non Work	Drag City	1997	Is this really Project Gemini / The Children Of Scorpio?... What does the Taurus say?... Why the Zodiac?... Transmission?... Broadcast?... Is this Work, Non Work, or both?... Do we really have time? Broadcast We've Got Time ----- It's been a big swing these last few wee. -- "Work and Non Work is a compilation album by British indie electronic group Broadcast, released 9 June 1997 by Warp. The album compiled material from their early singles and The Book Lovers EP." -- They have three new 2022 releases on their Bandcamp: Mother Is The Milky Way Microtronics - Volumes 1 & 2 Maida Vale Sessions		0:14:28 (Pop-up)
Project Gemini	The Children Of Scorpio	The Children Of Scorpio	Mr. Bongo	2022	Project Gemini is the alias of musician, producer and writer Paul Osborne. Drawing on a wealth of influences, Project Gemini is soon to release his debut album The Children Of Scorpio on Mr Bongo, with heavy splashes of vintage soundtracks, library music, acid-folk, psych funk and a large dash of giallo-style spookiness. A cinematic musical journey that plays out like a long-lost soundtrack (think cult B-movies of the 60s and 70s); 'The Children of Scorpio’ was formed from Paul's love of a myriad of genres; from European library music, acid folk, psych-funk, vintage soundtracks and the contemporary breaks scene. The album draws on iconic classics such as the masterful cinematic funk of Lalo Schifrin's 'Dirty Harry', Ennio Morricone's 'Vergogna Schifosi’ and Luis Bacalov’s 'The Summertime Killer’, to name but a few.		0:19:12 (Pop-up)
Death In Vegas	Scorpio Rising (The Scientist Dub Mix)	Death In Vegas With Liam Gallagher – Scorpio Rising (Scientist Mixes)	Concrete	2002	Liam Gallagher sings on this. We can move past it. (half-Editor's Note: Can We?) I bet he's a Scorpio. Actually, he's a Virgo, The Scientist strips away all unpleasantness in his dub reimagining of the track. This whole era of Death In Vegas is fantastic. In terms of Scorpios on the rise, here is the deeper dive: Cosmopolitan/Lifestyle/Scorpio-rising/		0:23:42 (Pop-up)

Dog	Beep! Beep! Honk! Honk! "Beep! Beep! Honk! Honk!" by "Dog"	Beep! Beep! Honk! Honk!	Dog	2022	Quibbles about congestion fees, rear-views of Cyclists’ bums; Toyota Yaris engine rumbles; sampled evil cackles resounding to fade… These may seem like the madcap plans sniggered-up by schoolboys during lunch breaks. But in the hands of London newcomers Dog, they form the essential mechanisms of the meticulously crafted debut single: ‘Beep! Beep! Honk! Honk!’.	*	0:36:31 (Pop-up)
Alex Cameron & Jason Williamson	Oxy Music	Oxy Music	Secretly Canadian	2022	Australia’s Alex Cameron revels in singing about different characters, the sort of oddballs who tend to be overlooked by society. The indie pop-rocker started out with the electronic music group Seekae before splitting off to go solo; he released his debut album, Jumping the Shark, in 2016, playing the part of an aging lounge singer with lots of stories to tell. His work is deliberately provocative, deliberately transgressive, and rarely serious.	*	0:41:27 (Pop-up)
CHEWY SHE	Je suis nue il est habillé		Chewy She	2022	CHEWY SHE is an ethereal electro-disco-punk band based in London fronted by Garance Louis (from Garance and the Mitochondries). Musically, CHEWY SHE mix the spontaneity of punk with fat electro bass, delivered with the groove and glamour of disco. It’s a sound which could only be dreamed up in the eccentric mind of bandleader Garance Louis, who has collaborated in studios with Andy Ramsay (Stereolab), Eddie Stevens (Roisin Murphy) ,The Comet is Coming’s synth wizard, Danalogue and Capitol K. CHEWY speaks out loud for all the women and men of today who follow their own desires, disregard the patriarchy and find their own ecstasy.	*	0:47:30 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Curley Hamner	Intermission Riff "Intermission Riff" by "Curley Hamner"	60's Instrumentals For Dancers & Groovers	Stereo Magic Records	2013	Rhythm and Blues and Jazz drummer, occasional vocalist, dancer, songwriter, and bandleader. From 1945 till 1958 Hamner worked as a drummer in Lionel Hampton's Orchestra. This is not confirmed but he was born in 1919 and there is no obituary, which would make him 103 if he is still on this mortal plane...		0:51:57 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Link Wray & His Ray Men	My Alberta	Law Of The Jungle! The Swan Demos '64	Sundazed	1964	"Popular WRA" NATIVE PEOPLES is how this very overdue (currently considered "lost") library CD is labelled. (I have now found the item & will be returning it after this show...) "Building on the distorted electric guitar sound of early records, Wray's first hit was the 1958 instrumental "Rumble". It popularized "the power chord, the major modus operandi of modern rock guitarists, facilitating the emergence of punk and heavy rock. The record was first released on Cadence Records (catalog number 1347) as by Link Wray & His Ray Men. "Rumble" was banned in New York and Boston for fear that it would incite teenage gang violence, "rumble" being slang for a gang fight. Before, during, and after his stints with major labels Epic and Swan, Wray released 45s under many names. Tiring of the corporate music machine, he began recording albums using a three-track studio he converted from an outbuilding on his brother's property that his father used to raise chickens, in Accokeek, Maryland. He wrote and recorded the eponymously-titled LP "Link Wray" (1971), on which he wrote about his frustrations... Wray's first three marriages, to Elizabeth Canady Wray, Ethel Tidwell Wray, and Sharon Cole Wray, produced eight children. Wray relocated to Denmark in the early 1980s. Wray died of heart failure at his home in Copenhagen, on November 5, 2005, at the age of 76."		0:59:35 (Pop-up)
George Westerholm and The Wild Wildcats (Feat. Babs Vermeulen)	Planet Crouton	Hot & Ready	Test Pressing	2018	A perfect, pristine test pressing, with the "INSPECTION/NOTES" section filled carefully by the words "With love to Derek" -- I love you, too, brother. -- Babs sings on this. Love you too, Babs. Our mom brought us into this world & has come to as many gigs as she reasonably could (she's almost 90). Love you Mom! Don't get too personal too often here on the beach. But sometimes you have to say hi to those you love and who love you. So hello to all of you. We are so glad to be here with you. Georgewesterholm.com		1:03:40 (Pop-up)
The B-52's	Is That You Mo-Dean? "Is That You Mo-Dean?" by "The B-52's"	Time Capsule	Reprise	1996	Such a great song & rewarding outro... A family favourite!

Forgotten Rebels	This Ain't Hollywood	This Ain't Hollywood	Star Records	1982	Original 1st wave punk from 1977 onwards, from Hamilton, Ontario. They are still playing live in 2022. This is the title song from their second full-length release "This Ain't Hollywood." There is also a nightclub in Hamilton, Ontario, named after the album/song. This was released May 14, 1982. At that time: "Vocals and Guitar: Mickey DeSadist / Guitar: Mike Mirabella / Bass: John Welton / Drums: Robert Allan / Produced By: Bob Bryden // Notes - "November 1981: recording at Sound Kitchen in Toronto, ON. // January to March 1982 - Mixdown // May 14, 1982 - Forgotten Rebels 2nd LP, 'This Ain't Hollywood is released on Star Records." (Source: Bob Bryden's website) - There appears to have been a limited (25 ONLY) CD pressing by Mike Shulga from Star Records. There was an attempt to get distribution for them but the $25 wholesale price was too cost prohibitive to resell them at retail." Forgotten Rebels		1:13:21 (Pop-up)
Chandra	Explosions "Explosions" by "Chandra"	Explosions 7"	Third Man Records (via We Are Time records)	2019	This was kindly sent to us in a package from the We Are Time record label (to whom we are deeply grateful.) This particular 7" was released on the Third Man Records label. Their site tells the following story of the 7" from which this b-side song was chosen: "Chandra Oppenheim was a child star like no other. As the daughter of famed conceptual artist Dennis Oppenheim, by age nine, Chandra was staying up late at her parents’ art-world parties, collaborating in her father’s projects, and performing her own plays at downtown hotspots such as The Kitchen and Franklin Furnace. This set the stage for Chandra’s course-altering collaboration with members of New York no- wave outfit, The Dance, who were looking to form yet another project and found their muse/fuse in 10-year-old Chandra. Their Transportation EP, originally released in 1980 by The Dance’s own label, ON/GoGo, balanced razor- wire guitars, liquid bass lines, and dub-style melodica. The Chandra band unveiled their first four songs: “Opposite”, “Concentration”, “Subways”, and “Kate.” At age 12, the post-punk pre-teen took the stage with her band for the first time at New York’s legendary Mudd Club. A whirlwind of press coverage ensued from glossy magazines like Vogue and Paris Match to the influential underground zine Non LP B Side and a Soho News cover story. A second EP was recorded and later shelved as Chandra walked away from the band at age 14 to focus on her education. The EP would not see the light of day for decades. Chandra’s Transportation EP saw a deluxe reissue that included the unreleased 2nd EP, as well as 2 demos from the same era, on Telephone Explosion Records out of Toronto in 2018. Chandra, now based in Maine, has also reactivated the Chandra Band with the help of a who’s who line-up of Toronto’s independent music scene. Third Man Records invited Chandra and her band to its Cass Corridor stage last winter. On February 1, 2019, magic was made and luckily for you it was captured. The songs presented to you on this Blue Stage Sessions 7”, Day Without Success b/w Explosions, are based on the demos and rehearsal tapes of Chandra Oppenheim, Eugenie Diserio and Steven Alexander recorded from 1981-1983. They have never been performed live until their new arrangements by the re-formed Chandra Band."		1:16:10 (Pop-up)

Rubber Oh	Nothing "Nothing" by "Rubber Oh"	Nothing	Rocket Recordings	2022	After originally cementing himself as the guitarist and producer of Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs, Sam Grant has now begun to pursue his own solo venture Rubber Oh, announcing the details of their debut album 'Strange Craft'. Speaking about the new offering, Grant said, "Ultimately, ’Nothing’ is a song about the weight of thought, and the freedom in letting go. But the lyrics are meant to sit in a space that’s both optimistic and hopeful, and equally readable as pessimistic and futile - playing with the ideas of dualism and Nihilism. There’s an alluring sense of the Optimistic Nihilist in the track - that prospect of knowing your own inconsequence could be liberating. But it’s always tethered to the paradoxes that creates." Rubber Oh's debut album 'Strange Craft' will be released on the 3rd June	*	1:33:36 (Pop-up)
Folly Group	I Raise You (The Price Of Your Head)	I Raise You (The Price Of Your Head)	Technicolour	2022	Speaking about ‘I Raise You (The Price Of Your Head)’ and the forthcoming EP, Folly Group reveal: “Where ‘Awake and Hungry’ doubled as a diary of the band’s formative months and encapsulation of our live show, ‘Human and Kind’ is a projection of our ambition, and our desire to push ourselves through what we might previously have perceived as the ceiling of possibility for four players. The release is at once introspective and extroverted: it attempts to be a dynamic interrogation of grief and growth.” They add: “I Raise You (The Price of Your Head)’ is a pandemic-era role-reversal between politician and young person that poses the question: you were happy to gamble with my life, what if I were to gamble with yours?”	*	1:37:46 (Pop-up)
Crows	Slowly Separate "Slowly Separate" by "Crows"	Beware Believers	Bad Vibrations Records	2022	Crows exist in the shadows. With their brooding riffs and goth-rock soundscapes, the London four-piece are delivering a classic post-punk sound with a fresh coat of thick, black paint. Much like debut album ‘Silver Tongues’, ‘Beware Believers’ is richly atmospheric yet deeply intimate. Delving into themes of governmental decline, social division and self-reflection, a sinister vein of fury runs just beneath the surface - ‘Beware Believers’ is always a second away from snapping, every track sharp and pained.	*	1:41:39 (Pop-up)
Kevin Morby	Rock Bottom "Rock Bottom" by "Kevin Morby"	Rock Bottom (Single)	Dead Oceans	2022	The song, driven by a fuzz-laden guitar riff and endearingly scrappy sing-song vocals reminiscent of Morby’s lo-fi punk outfit the Babies, is a subtle ode to the late James Lee Lindsey Jr., better known as Jay Reatard — the prolific Memphis-based garage rock trailblazer who died from an overdose at the age of 29 in 2010.	*	1:45:21 (Pop-up)
Kikagu Moyo	Cardboard Pile "Cardboard Pile" by "Kikagu Moyo"	Cardboard Pile	Guruguru Brain	2022	The Japanese psych rockers’ fifth studio album will be released on May 6 via the band’s own Guruguru Brain label. The group formed roughly a decade ago, issuing their self-titled debut in 2013. They released follow up ‘Forest Of Lost Children’ in 2014, ‘House In The Tall Grass’ in 2016 and ‘Masana Temples’ in 2018. They also released live album ‘Deep Fried Grandeur’ last year.	*	1:48:06 (Pop-up)

Gruff Rhys	People Are Pissed "People Are Pissed" by "Gruff Rhys"	People Are Pissed (Single)	Rough Trade	2022	“The lyrics were basically inspired by the widespread anger I - and many other people felt towards the incompetence and arrogance of the Johnson regime during the lockdowns - not that I feel any different now," says Gruff. "I mean the words go off on one like most of my songs but that was the seed of the idea.”	*	1:57:26 (Pop-up)

	♥ 9:11pm Tome: great show I see B52 tour date here, > bit.ly...
	♥ 9:11pm DJ Babs: OMG can you imagine!?
	9:12pm Tyler: The little old Italian fellow that fixes our furnace was telling me about seeing them and the Ramones and a bunch of other envy-inducing acts at the 'shoe.
	9:15pm datafreq: Yeah they played here in 1980 then not again til 1990 afaik, I saw them at Massey Hall then.

	♥ 9:16pm DJ Babs: we are flying a bit by the seat of our pants here LOL

	♥ 9:18pm DJ Babs: I saw B-52s at Kingswood which was quite fun indeed!
	9:19pm Tyler: @Babs that would be fun place to see them. I unfortunately haven't ever seen them live.
	9:20pm Tyler: I guess Kingswood doesn't exist anymore? I can't remember if it was there last time I was at Wonderland.
	9:22pm Tyler: Suzanne Cianni - NICE!
	9:23pm Tyler: Tootie!
	9:30pm Tyler: OMG can you imagine the Forgotten Rebels delivering your mail? :)

	9:49pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: Babs has the best musical taste!!!
	9:50pm Tyler: Scott 67 was bare bottom while listening to Rock Bottom :)
	♥ 9:51pm DJ Babs: HAHAHAHA! And well I wouldn't say best musical taste but in the end I like to be a people pleaser!! LOL

	9:52pm VinylVillainSean: Love this
	9:52pm Tyler: @Rich In Kitchengton - Headphones in Saucepan
	9:53pm Tyler: This IS nice and trippy...
	🏝 ♥ 9:53pm Derek Westerholm: Scott. I'm sure I've been clothed in the shower; and naked once out of it at least... once?... ...in my life. (Seems likely.) I'd say it's all acceptable as long as you're not offending or harming anyone. Certainly I'm alright with most anything you might want to do while we're doing the show. Kitchens, showers, grocery shops.
	9:54pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: Well. I think you have awesome taste @babs
	9:54pm shellioh: i’m just in time for the last songs 🤣
	🏝 ♥ 9:56pm Scott67: Thanks to the Beautiful Babs & Derek! & take it easy all you Beautiful People out there! 🍻😎🤙👣🌈🌏🦋🌻

The Zodiac	Taurus - The Voluptuary	Cosmic Sounds	Elektra	1967	The Zodiac: Cosmic Sounds is a 1967 collaborative concept album on the theme of the signs of the Zodiac. It was issued by Elektra Records in and featured early use of the Moog synthesizer by Paul Beaver, with music written by Mort Garson, words by Jacques Wilson, and narration by Cyrus Faryar. Garson brought together a mixture of musicians, most of whom were not credited on the album sleeve. Musician and electronic instrument collector Paul Beaver, who had done music effects for films, was chosen to perform on the Moog synthesizer on the album since he was one of the few people on the West Coast who knew how to set up and use the synthesizer at the time. Beaver and Moog went to the California Audio Engineering Society convention in 1967 to showcase the Moog Synthesizer for the first time on the West Coast.Emil Richards, who had worked with such musicians as Frank Zappa, Marvin Gaye and Henry Mancini, was chosen to provide an assortment of percussive instrumental surprises throughout the album. Bassist Carol Kaye and drummer Hal Blaine, both top on-demand session musicians, were The Zodiac's rhythm section. Bud Shank, a top flute performer, and keyboardist Mike Melvoin were also used. Jacques Wilson wrote the album's narration, and folk singer Cyrus Faryar was chosen (suggested by Hassilev) to narrate over the album's exotic instrumentation.		0:11:54 (Pop-up)
Broadcast	We've Got Time "We've Got Time" by "Broadcast"	Work And Non Work	Drag City	1997	Is this really Project Gemini / The Children Of Scorpio?... What does the Taurus say?... Why the Zodiac?... Transmission?... Broadcast?... Is this Work, Non Work, or both?... Do we really have time? Broadcast We've Got Time ----- It's been a big swing these last few wee. -- "Work and Non Work is a compilation album by British indie electronic group Broadcast, released 9 June 1997 by Warp. The album compiled material from their early singles and The Book Lovers EP." -- They have three new 2022 releases on their Bandcamp: Mother Is The Milky Way Microtronics - Volumes 1 & 2 Maida Vale Sessions		0:14:28 (Pop-up)
Project Gemini	The Children Of Scorpio	The Children Of Scorpio	Mr. Bongo	2022	Project Gemini is the alias of musician, producer and writer Paul Osborne. Drawing on a wealth of influences, Project Gemini is soon to release his debut album The Children Of Scorpio on Mr Bongo, with heavy splashes of vintage soundtracks, library music, acid-folk, psych funk and a large dash of giallo-style spookiness. A cinematic musical journey that plays out like a long-lost soundtrack (think cult B-movies of the 60s and 70s); 'The Children of Scorpio’ was formed from Paul's love of a myriad of genres; from European library music, acid folk, psych-funk, vintage soundtracks and the contemporary breaks scene. The album draws on iconic classics such as the masterful cinematic funk of Lalo Schifrin's 'Dirty Harry', Ennio Morricone's 'Vergogna Schifosi’ and Luis Bacalov’s 'The Summertime Killer’, to name but a few.		0:19:12 (Pop-up)
Death In Vegas	Scorpio Rising (The Scientist Dub Mix)	Death In Vegas With Liam Gallagher – Scorpio Rising (Scientist Mixes)	Concrete	2002	Liam Gallagher sings on this. We can move past it. (half-Editor's Note: Can We?) I bet he's a Scorpio. Actually, he's a Virgo, The Scientist strips away all unpleasantness in his dub reimagining of the track. This whole era of Death In Vegas is fantastic. In terms of Scorpios on the rise, here is the deeper dive: Cosmopolitan/Lifestyle/Scorpio-rising/		0:23:42 (Pop-up)

Dog	Beep! Beep! Honk! Honk! "Beep! Beep! Honk! Honk!" by "Dog"	Beep! Beep! Honk! Honk!	Dog	2022	Quibbles about congestion fees, rear-views of Cyclists’ bums; Toyota Yaris engine rumbles; sampled evil cackles resounding to fade… These may seem like the madcap plans sniggered-up by schoolboys during lunch breaks. But in the hands of London newcomers Dog, they form the essential mechanisms of the meticulously crafted debut single: ‘Beep! Beep! Honk! Honk!’.	*	0:36:31 (Pop-up)
Alex Cameron & Jason Williamson	Oxy Music	Oxy Music	Secretly Canadian	2022	Australia’s Alex Cameron revels in singing about different characters, the sort of oddballs who tend to be overlooked by society. The indie pop-rocker started out with the electronic music group Seekae before splitting off to go solo; he released his debut album, Jumping the Shark, in 2016, playing the part of an aging lounge singer with lots of stories to tell. His work is deliberately provocative, deliberately transgressive, and rarely serious.	*	0:41:27 (Pop-up)
CHEWY SHE	Je suis nue il est habillé		Chewy She	2022	CHEWY SHE is an ethereal electro-disco-punk band based in London fronted by Garance Louis (from Garance and the Mitochondries). Musically, CHEWY SHE mix the spontaneity of punk with fat electro bass, delivered with the groove and glamour of disco. It’s a sound which could only be dreamed up in the eccentric mind of bandleader Garance Louis, who has collaborated in studios with Andy Ramsay (Stereolab), Eddie Stevens (Roisin Murphy) ,The Comet is Coming’s synth wizard, Danalogue and Capitol K. CHEWY speaks out loud for all the women and men of today who follow their own desires, disregard the patriarchy and find their own ecstasy.	*	0:47:30 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Curley Hamner	Intermission Riff "Intermission Riff" by "Curley Hamner"	60's Instrumentals For Dancers & Groovers	Stereo Magic Records	2013	Rhythm and Blues and Jazz drummer, occasional vocalist, dancer, songwriter, and bandleader. From 1945 till 1958 Hamner worked as a drummer in Lionel Hampton's Orchestra. This is not confirmed but he was born in 1919 and there is no obituary, which would make him 103 if he is still on this mortal plane...		0:51:57 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Link Wray & His Ray Men	My Alberta	Law Of The Jungle! The Swan Demos '64	Sundazed	1964	"Popular WRA" NATIVE PEOPLES is how this very overdue (currently considered "lost") library CD is labelled. (I have now found the item & will be returning it after this show...) "Building on the distorted electric guitar sound of early records, Wray's first hit was the 1958 instrumental "Rumble". It popularized "the power chord, the major modus operandi of modern rock guitarists, facilitating the emergence of punk and heavy rock. The record was first released on Cadence Records (catalog number 1347) as by Link Wray & His Ray Men. "Rumble" was banned in New York and Boston for fear that it would incite teenage gang violence, "rumble" being slang for a gang fight. Before, during, and after his stints with major labels Epic and Swan, Wray released 45s under many names. Tiring of the corporate music machine, he began recording albums using a three-track studio he converted from an outbuilding on his brother's property that his father used to raise chickens, in Accokeek, Maryland. He wrote and recorded the eponymously-titled LP "Link Wray" (1971), on which he wrote about his frustrations... Wray's first three marriages, to Elizabeth Canady Wray, Ethel Tidwell Wray, and Sharon Cole Wray, produced eight children. Wray relocated to Denmark in the early 1980s. Wray died of heart failure at his home in Copenhagen, on November 5, 2005, at the age of 76."		0:59:35 (Pop-up)
George Westerholm and The Wild Wildcats (Feat. Babs Vermeulen)	Planet Crouton	Hot & Ready	Test Pressing	2018	A perfect, pristine test pressing, with the "INSPECTION/NOTES" section filled carefully by the words "With love to Derek" -- I love you, too, brother. -- Babs sings on this. Love you too, Babs. Our mom brought us into this world & has come to as many gigs as she reasonably could (she's almost 90). Love you Mom! Don't get too personal too often here on the beach. But sometimes you have to say hi to those you love and who love you. So hello to all of you. We are so glad to be here with you. Georgewesterholm.com		1:03:40 (Pop-up)
The B-52's	Is That You Mo-Dean? "Is That You Mo-Dean?" by "The B-52's"	Time Capsule	Reprise	1996	Such a great song & rewarding outro... A family favourite!

Forgotten Rebels	This Ain't Hollywood	This Ain't Hollywood	Star Records	1982	Original 1st wave punk from 1977 onwards, from Hamilton, Ontario. They are still playing live in 2022. This is the title song from their second full-length release "This Ain't Hollywood." There is also a nightclub in Hamilton, Ontario, named after the album/song. This was released May 14, 1982. At that time: "Vocals and Guitar: Mickey DeSadist / Guitar: Mike Mirabella / Bass: John Welton / Drums: Robert Allan / Produced By: Bob Bryden // Notes - "November 1981: recording at Sound Kitchen in Toronto, ON. // January to March 1982 - Mixdown // May 14, 1982 - Forgotten Rebels 2nd LP, 'This Ain't Hollywood is released on Star Records." (Source: Bob Bryden's website) - There appears to have been a limited (25 ONLY) CD pressing by Mike Shulga from Star Records. There was an attempt to get distribution for them but the $25 wholesale price was too cost prohibitive to resell them at retail." Forgotten Rebels		1:13:21 (Pop-up)
Chandra	Explosions "Explosions" by "Chandra"	Explosions 7"	Third Man Records (via We Are Time records)	2019	This was kindly sent to us in a package from the We Are Time record label (to whom we are deeply grateful.) This particular 7" was released on the Third Man Records label. Their site tells the following story of the 7" from which this b-side song was chosen: "Chandra Oppenheim was a child star like no other. As the daughter of famed conceptual artist Dennis Oppenheim, by age nine, Chandra was staying up late at her parents’ art-world parties, collaborating in her father’s projects, and performing her own plays at downtown hotspots such as The Kitchen and Franklin Furnace. This set the stage for Chandra’s course-altering collaboration with members of New York no- wave outfit, The Dance, who were looking to form yet another project and found their muse/fuse in 10-year-old Chandra. Their Transportation EP, originally released in 1980 by The Dance’s own label, ON/GoGo, balanced razor- wire guitars, liquid bass lines, and dub-style melodica. The Chandra band unveiled their first four songs: “Opposite”, “Concentration”, “Subways”, and “Kate.” At age 12, the post-punk pre-teen took the stage with her band for the first time at New York’s legendary Mudd Club. A whirlwind of press coverage ensued from glossy magazines like Vogue and Paris Match to the influential underground zine Non LP B Side and a Soho News cover story. A second EP was recorded and later shelved as Chandra walked away from the band at age 14 to focus on her education. The EP would not see the light of day for decades. Chandra’s Transportation EP saw a deluxe reissue that included the unreleased 2nd EP, as well as 2 demos from the same era, on Telephone Explosion Records out of Toronto in 2018. Chandra, now based in Maine, has also reactivated the Chandra Band with the help of a who’s who line-up of Toronto’s independent music scene. Third Man Records invited Chandra and her band to its Cass Corridor stage last winter. On February 1, 2019, magic was made and luckily for you it was captured. The songs presented to you on this Blue Stage Sessions 7”, Day Without Success b/w Explosions, are based on the demos and rehearsal tapes of Chandra Oppenheim, Eugenie Diserio and Steven Alexander recorded from 1981-1983. They have never been performed live until their new arrangements by the re-formed Chandra Band."		1:16:10 (Pop-up)

Rubber Oh	Nothing "Nothing" by "Rubber Oh"	Nothing	Rocket Recordings	2022	After originally cementing himself as the guitarist and producer of Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs, Sam Grant has now begun to pursue his own solo venture Rubber Oh, announcing the details of their debut album 'Strange Craft'. Speaking about the new offering, Grant said, "Ultimately, ’Nothing’ is a song about the weight of thought, and the freedom in letting go. But the lyrics are meant to sit in a space that’s both optimistic and hopeful, and equally readable as pessimistic and futile - playing with the ideas of dualism and Nihilism. There’s an alluring sense of the Optimistic Nihilist in the track - that prospect of knowing your own inconsequence could be liberating. But it’s always tethered to the paradoxes that creates." Rubber Oh's debut album 'Strange Craft' will be released on the 3rd June	*	1:33:36 (Pop-up)
Folly Group	I Raise You (The Price Of Your Head)	I Raise You (The Price Of Your Head)	Technicolour	2022	Speaking about ‘I Raise You (The Price Of Your Head)’ and the forthcoming EP, Folly Group reveal: “Where ‘Awake and Hungry’ doubled as a diary of the band’s formative months and encapsulation of our live show, ‘Human and Kind’ is a projection of our ambition, and our desire to push ourselves through what we might previously have perceived as the ceiling of possibility for four players. The release is at once introspective and extroverted: it attempts to be a dynamic interrogation of grief and growth.” They add: “I Raise You (The Price of Your Head)’ is a pandemic-era role-reversal between politician and young person that poses the question: you were happy to gamble with my life, what if I were to gamble with yours?”	*	1:37:46 (Pop-up)
Crows	Slowly Separate "Slowly Separate" by "Crows"	Beware Believers	Bad Vibrations Records	2022	Crows exist in the shadows. With their brooding riffs and goth-rock soundscapes, the London four-piece are delivering a classic post-punk sound with a fresh coat of thick, black paint. Much like debut album ‘Silver Tongues’, ‘Beware Believers’ is richly atmospheric yet deeply intimate. Delving into themes of governmental decline, social division and self-reflection, a sinister vein of fury runs just beneath the surface - ‘Beware Believers’ is always a second away from snapping, every track sharp and pained.	*	1:41:39 (Pop-up)
Kevin Morby	Rock Bottom "Rock Bottom" by "Kevin Morby"	Rock Bottom (Single)	Dead Oceans	2022	The song, driven by a fuzz-laden guitar riff and endearingly scrappy sing-song vocals reminiscent of Morby’s lo-fi punk outfit the Babies, is a subtle ode to the late James Lee Lindsey Jr., better known as Jay Reatard — the prolific Memphis-based garage rock trailblazer who died from an overdose at the age of 29 in 2010.	*	1:45:21 (Pop-up)
Kikagu Moyo	Cardboard Pile "Cardboard Pile" by "Kikagu Moyo"	Cardboard Pile	Guruguru Brain	2022	The Japanese psych rockers’ fifth studio album will be released on May 6 via the band’s own Guruguru Brain label. The group formed roughly a decade ago, issuing their self-titled debut in 2013. They released follow up ‘Forest Of Lost Children’ in 2014, ‘House In The Tall Grass’ in 2016 and ‘Masana Temples’ in 2018. They also released live album ‘Deep Fried Grandeur’ last year.	*	1:48:06 (Pop-up)

Gruff Rhys	People Are Pissed "People Are Pissed" by "Gruff Rhys"	People Are Pissed (Single)	Rough Trade	2022	“The lyrics were basically inspired by the widespread anger I - and many other people felt towards the incompetence and arrogance of the Johnson regime during the lockdowns - not that I feel any different now," says Gruff. "I mean the words go off on one like most of my songs but that was the seed of the idea.”	*	1:57:26 (Pop-up)

	8:35pm VinylVillainSean: Wrecking crew
	8:35pm VinylVillainSean: Hey @djblush
	8:37pm Tyler: I was fortunate to see Broadcast with the See And Cake just after 'The Noise Made By People' came out.
	8:39pm DJ Nico: Hello Ian Dury... interesting
	♥ 8:39pm DJ Babs: I've never seen them and it makes me so sad...

	🏝 ♥ 8:39pm Scott67: keep waiting for..' it's not quite a Jaguar"!
	8:40pm Mr Fab: Yes, Ian Dury, and it's almost Madness' "I Like Driving In My Car."
	8:40pm Mr Fab: Scott67: haha, you heard it too.
	8:40pm Charles: Happy birthday Babs and Kat!
	♥ 8:41pm DJ Babs: Thank you Charles and yes Birthday celebrations for Kat too!!!! YAY!
	8:41pm Tyler: Nice Coda
	8:42pm Tyler: April Candles Bring May Sandals...
	8:42pm Tyler: Suddenly Vincent Price shows up at the studio with a bag of weed...
	♥ 8:43pm DJ Babs: nothing like a peppy little tune about opiate addiction....
	8:44pm Tyler: @DJ Babs - Side effects include... peppy little tunes :)
	♥ 8:46pm DJ Babs: I will say that this is probably more like an epic peppy tune. I like that Jason Williamson is branching out into all sorts of things..
	8:46pm Tyler: This part reminds me of John Cooper Clarke
	♥ 8:46pm DJ Babs: It's very melancholic...I love it!
	♥ 8:47pm DJ Babs: sad happy music gets me going.
	8:47pm Tyler: Great hook
	♥ 8:48pm DJ Babs: agreed!
	♥ 8:49pm DJ Babs: This tune is BONKERS "I am naked he is dressed"
	8:49pm Tyler: This has bit of a Yoko Ono vibe
	🏝 ♥ 8:49pm Scott67: Isn't everyone secretly Canadian.. or Australian?
	8:49pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: Sweet Jesus! I fell asleep and just woke up! Like a disco nap version of Rip Van Winkle. What did I miss?
	🏝 ♥ 8:50pm Scott67: That's the way I like it Babs!
	8:51pm Tyler: @Your Pretend Boyfriend - we have new alien overlords and the mission to Alpha Centauri failed.
	🏝 ♥ 8:51pm Scott67: Me being "He", that is!
	♥ 8:51pm DJ Babs: hello and welcome YPB!!! and yes, there is yoko and all the good vibes in this! And yes I feel we are all Canadian! Or from somewhere elsem lol.
	8:52pm Tyler: You don't have to be from Canada to be Canadian.
	8:53pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: @tyler I like Alien Overlords. Can’t be worse than Doug Ford. @babs Hello to you too. Sorry I was late.
	8:53pm Tyler: You just have to like the band CAN
	🏝 ♥ 8:53pm Scott67: Or Australian. It's an attitude! 🍻😎🤙🩴🩴
	8:54pm Tyler: LET'S ALL GO TO THE LOBBY!
	8:54pm Mr Fab: My impression of Australia is: a big, round California. (Tho I have no idea how true that is.)
	8:57pm Tyler: I think 'One bullet in the gun' may be a drug reference.
	9:01pm Tyler: I think that was Jackie Brenston's band with Ike Turner that had the damaged speaker.
	9:02pm datafreq: Hey all sorry I’m late Sorting records for tomorrow nite. How tf do you narrow down to one crate, I’ll be up all night agonizing 😆
	♥ 9:03pm DJ Babs: lol datafreq the answer is YOU CAN'T
	9:03pm Tyler: Hi Dave! @datafreq
	9:03pm Tyler: @Derek - that was a nice Link Wray song. Not heard that one before.
	9:04pm Tyler: Les Georges Westerholms :)
	🏝 ♥ 9:05pm Kat in Chicago: Freed from digital drudgery! They kicked me off the server for maintenance
	9:05pm Tyler: Nice beat!

	♥ 9:08pm DJ Babs: Thank you! I have never had so much fun singing one note in the recording studio, lol,
	🏝 ♥ 9:08pm Kat in Chicago: Thank you Charles!
	9:09pm Tyler: The B's announced their 'farewell' tour but I think it's only 3 of them.
	♥ 9:09pm DJ Babs: So who is getting B-52's tickets? I can't believe that they are packing it in but I can also see why.
	🏝 ♥ 9:09pm Alli B: Where are they playing?
	9:09pm Tyler: @DJ Babs have they announced a Toronto date?
	♥ 9:09pm DJ Babs: NO CANADIAN DATES Chicago and NYC is your best bet...
	9:10pm datafreq: It’s not necessarily the “final” tour, I’ve been burned a few times on that 😆
	🏝 ♥ 9:10pm Alli B: Ohhhh I see
	♥ 9:10pm DJ Babs: This is true. There is never ever truly a final tour is there?
	9:11pm Tyler: I wish I was old enough to have seen them with their original guitarist. Apparently they played the Horseshoe frequently back in the day.
	♥ 9:11pm Tome: great show I see B52 tour date here, > bit.ly...
	♥ 9:11pm DJ Babs: OMG can you imagine!?
	9:12pm Tyler: The little old Italian fellow that fixes our furnace was telling me about seeing them and the Ramones and a bunch of other envy-inducing acts at the 'shoe.
	9:15pm datafreq: Yeah they played here in 1980 then not again til 1990 afaik, I saw them at Massey Hall then.
	9:15pm Tyler: Some fine, fine Canadian first-gen punk!
	♥ 9:16pm DJ Babs: we are flying a bit by the seat of our pants here LOL
	9:16pm Tyler: @datafreq that must have been a great show. Were people able to dance the mess around at Massey Hall?
	9:17pm datafreq: I remember it being a very fun show !
	♥ 9:18pm DJ Babs: I saw B-52s at Kingswood which was quite fun indeed!
	9:19pm Tyler: @Babs that would be fun place to see them. I unfortunately haven't ever seen them live.
	9:20pm Tyler: I guess Kingswood doesn't exist anymore? I can't remember if it was there last time I was at Wonderland.
	9:22pm Tyler: Suzanne Cianni - NICE!
	9:23pm Tyler: Tootie!
	9:30pm Tyler: OMG can you imagine the Forgotten Rebels delivering your mail? :)
	♥ 9:30pm DJ Babs: Right!?

	🏝 ♥ 9:45pm Derek Westerholm: Rich, agreed! Babs finds the best stuff!
	🏝 ♥ 9:47pm Scott67: I hadda shower, so had a naked while you're all clothed moment! Unless some of you are nude, I often am for Summer listening. 🍻😎🤙👣🌻🦋
	♥ 9:49pm DJ Babs: HAHAH! Nude listening is highly recommended!
	9:49pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: Babs has the best musical taste!!!
	9:50pm Tyler: Scott 67 was bare bottom while listening to Rock Bottom :)
	♥ 9:51pm DJ Babs: HAHAHAHA! And well I wouldn't say best musical taste but in the end I like to be a people pleaser!! LOL
	9:51pm Rich in Kitchengton: I can't be nude right now. I'm cooking up three dishes on the stove right now. it's rather unsafe. oh hell. there go my headphones
	9:52pm VinylVillainSean: Love this
	9:52pm Tyler: @Rich In Kitchengton - Headphones in Saucepan
	9:53pm Tyler: This IS nice and trippy...
	🏝 ♥ 9:53pm Derek Westerholm: Scott. I'm sure I've been clothed in the shower; and naked once out of it at least... once?... ...in my life. (Seems likely.) I'd say it's all acceptable as long as you're not offending or harming anyone. Certainly I'm alright with most anything you might want to do while we're doing the show. Kitchens, showers, grocery shops.
	9:54pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: Well. I think you have awesome taste @babs
	9:54pm shellioh: i’m just in time for the last songs 🤣
