November 29, 2009 - Freekick is not a Machine
"Discom-bobulated" is a word that has been used to describe the sound of Free Kick's radio presence on last Sunday's show. Who am I to argue? Both Swan and myself are currently feeling the pressures of a grad school system that seeks to turn us into assignment-spewing automatons. But we are NOT typewriters, nosirree! To prove this, we managed to make it into the CKUT studios on time, flick the correct switches and turn the required knobs to deliver another batch of musical goodness to you dear listeners, including sounds by the likes of:

Big Star, Roland Kirk, Art Ensemble of Chicago, Eddie Gale, Anne Briggs, Pernambuco do Pandeiro e Seu Regional, Eddy Manson His Orchestra and Harmonica Section, Sam Louis & The Witnesses (Louis Prima), Spike Jones, Alexandra & The Herrings, B-52's, Oingo Boingo, Bonzo Dog Band (some of whom are pictured here), Aut'Chose, Hedzoleh Sounds, Jonathan Kane, György Ligeti/Chor des Norddeutschen Rundfunks Hamburg, The Stanley Brothers, Jimi Hendrix, The Boredoms, Iggy Pop, Black Flag, The Last Poets, Alamaailman Vasarat, and Argentinisches Tango-Orchester Oscar Roma!

This can all be easily verified by downloading an mp3 of the show for review:

• 64 kbps, 55 MB

Or go to the CKUT archives page and stream the show from Sunday Nov. 29, 11:00 to 13:01.

Check us out again next Sunday Dec 6 from 11 am to 1 pm on CKUT 90.3 fm & hear for yourself how we maintain our composure and dignity...

ciao
Dave
