April 12, 2008 - Free Kick is Calling Again
But is anyone there to listen? When the competition is the Montreal Canadiens roaring into the playoffs against Boston, it's understandable that a merely musical show like Free Kick might lose a few listeners. But remember, folks: all our musical content is guaranteed 100% hockey-compatible. You can turn down those irritating commentators, turn up the radio and watch the Habs march wind their way to victory against a stylish sonic backdrop.

Of course last Saturday's Free Kick show went on well past the end of the game, right up till 11. This was ample time to cover a lot of musical ground, including selections from artists like:

Madvillain, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Funkadelic, Junie Morrison, Charles Wright and the Watts 103rd St. Rhythm Band, Jackie Mittoo, Mikey Dangerous, Jorge Ben (pictured above), Victor Jara, Haruna Ishola and his Apala Group, Celestine Ukwu & His Philosophers National, Fire of Space, Asha Bhosle, Sun Ra, Poapa & Pameok, Shalabi Effect, Alexandre St-Onge, Nash the Slash, CPC Gangbangs, Jay Reatard, The Dirtbombs, Neu! and Johnnie Osbourne.

Want to go over that again without those other Saturday night distractions? You can use one of these links to download an mp3 of the show onto your computer:

Or just stream if from the CKUT archives: it's the show of Sat April 12 from 21:05 to 23:05.

OK, ciao for now. Shawn will be back in full force for our next show on April 26 from 9-11 pm eastern on CKUT 90.3 fm - the CKUT Funding Drive edition! More about that later.
