December 13, 2009 - Freeze-kicking
OK, you might say we could have saved this title for the upcoming weekend, which promises to be a much deeper sub-zero experience... but hey, the first mild taste of winter that blew in before last Sunday's show had us really feeling the kick of the Canadian artic for the first time in a good while. So, every attempt was made to warm things up with the best in musical burners, from artists including:

Blue Öyster Cult (pictured here), Roland Kirk, The Cosmic Rays, Christy Azuma & Uppers International, The Dedication Orchestra (Louis Moholo), Halabisky's Uprising, Lydia Lunch, Pascal Comelade, Six Organs of Admittance, The Stooges, Richard Hell & the Voidoids, Dick Dale, Anna Adamis & Gabor Presser (Locomotiv GT), Brian Joseph Davis, Pekka Airaksinen, Faust, Fiery Furnaces, Joni Mitchell, Nimalan Yoganathan, Klaus Nomi, Jeffrey Lewis & The Junkyard and Intercom!

Download the show for further investigation, if you like:

• 64 kbps, 55 MB

Or stream it from the CKUT archives page: ask for Sun Dec 13 from 11:00 till 13:01...

We'll be back per usual next Sunday Dec. 20 from 11 am to 1 pm on CKUT 90.3 fm - fighting the freeze with some holiday cheer, I expect.

ciao for now,
Dave
