August 18, 2007 - A Cold Saturday Night for Alligators
Yes indeedy - it was another chilly one, but while a few cool evenings of late have led some gloom merchants to start talking to me about the "end of summer", I refuse to give in! There's a summery spark still smoldering in these parts, and I command all of you to carry on as if fall did not start until the end of September mid-October! Now let's get to business.

Despite a bothersome broken arm and some frickin sore ribs, I was able to join Shawn in busting last Saturday's Free Kick show, which featured rollicking creative sounds from the likes of: Carl Stalling, Max Roach (RIP), Rahsaan Roland Kirk, The Charmels, Lee Dorsey, The Mar-Keys, Peter Tosh, Dolly Rathebe, Lord Kitchener, Indigo Trio, Al Jolson & the Andrews Sisters, Pascal Comelade, Messer fur Frau Muller, Kid Koala, Cordel do Fogo Encantado, Abd Al Malik, Rita Lee, Lee Hazelwood (RIP), Roky Erickson & the Aliens, Thinking Fellers Union Local 282, Talibam!, Little Howlin Wolf, Mandalay Marionettes & Cultural Show, Nick Drake, Nico, Patti Smith, The Slits, Le Tigre, Bikini Kill, PJ Harvey, Consolidated (with the Yeastie Girls) and Ennio Morricone!

If you want to download the show as an mp3 file, you can use this link:

• medium quality (64 kbps)

Or go to the CKUT archives page and listen to the stream from Saturday August 18, 21:03 to 23:03.

We do hope you enjoyed yourselves, and that you'll come back for more during the next Free Kick show on Saturday Sept. 1 from 9-11 pm eastern time on CKUT 90.3 FM in Montreal.

bye till then
Dave
