Radio What Wave Playlist February 23/2018  All Black Show and Live to Air with After Funk

This was an all Black show as February is Black History Month and CHRW has a full day of Black music coming up on Tuesday. We also had a surprise live to air with After Funk, as they were in the studio taping a live performance for the Top 30 Countdown Show that airs the next day, and they were playing live at Call The Office on the eve of this show.

1. 6^th Infantry Brigade of the Nigerian Army….Black And Proud….from a compilation CD called Black Man’s Cry, The Inspiration of Fela Kuti on Now Again Records.
2. Wayne McGhie….Fire….from the Jamaica To Toronto compilation and from 1969. This was the start of our quick look at the late 60’s/early 70’s Toronto/Jamaican musical era. There were 4 key musicians, Wayne being one, the others The Mighty Pope, Jackie Mittoo (came from Jamaica in 1968 and had been a key player in the Jamaican reggae scene, being musical director and keyboard player for Sir Coxsone Dodd) and Leroy Sibbles (came from Jamaica in 1973 and was bass player for Sir Coxsone Dodd). These 4 upped the musical levels of the Toronto scene and put out some amazing music in that era!  There were many record shops in Toronto in this era that specialized in reggae, soul and Jamaican music. Walking into these shops was like going into another world!
3. The Hitchikers….Mr Fortune….also from the Jamaica to Toronto compilation and features The Mighty Pope on the vocals.
4. Leroy Sibbles….Express Yourself…from the Studio One Soul compilation CD on Soul Jazz Records. Again, prior to Leroy immigrating to Toronto and on the excellent Soul Jazz Records label that has put out TONS of cool soul, jazz, reggae and world music and is based in the UK.
5. Jackie Mittoo…Get Up and Get It….from The Keyboard King Of Studio One double LP compilation that has been re-ished many times. This was prior to Jackie immigrating up to Toronto.
6. Shirley Matthews….Big Town Boy….from the Made In Canada compilation and this song was a hit on Toronto’s CHUM AM back in 1963. Shirley was from the Windsor area and recorded another single or 2 before retiring to motherhood and adulthood.
7. The Majestics….Medley…..from the ARC LP Instrumental R&B. Toronto soul group from 1967 and had a young Shawne Jackson in the band, long before her 1974 top 10 Just As Bad As You. The Majestics released a couple of LP’s, all on the ARC label, the same label that released the 60’s punk records around the same time.
8. Jackie Shane….Shotgun….from the recent double LP with the booklet by Rob Bowman and recorded live in Toronto around 1967.
9. Tarig Abubakar and the Afro Nubaians…..Hobey Laik….from the LP of the same name and came out in 1987. These guys used to play Sunfest quite regularly and had the crowds up and dancing a storm. They were never able to capture that live energy on any of their recordings and sadly, Tarig passed away in Sudan after a car accident many years ago.
10. The Soul Motivators….Love Thing….from their 2015 CD Free To Believe and from Toronto. They’ve yet to come to London and I tried to convince them a couple years back as the closest they’ve been is This Ain’t Hollywood in Hamilton.
11. Marcellus Wallace…Movin’ On Up…..from their self titled debut CD and our first London combo today. The band has moved to Toronto and is presently on hiatus while searching for new members.
12. Danko Jones….Sexual Interlude….from the Garage Rock! A Collection of Lost Songs from 1996-1998.
13. The Dice….Typical Lies….from their 12” EP from the late 70’s/early 80’s. At the time, they were a Toronto combo grouped in with the punk movement as they played The Cedar Lounge a couple of times here in London. Vocalist/guitarist Gary Lima was in charge of the MIA Program here at Fanshawe College and drummer Hayden Vialva has served time in many a London combo, current being blues based Double Clutch Band. Hayden and Gary are getting back together for a combo called Memphis Jam who are playing next weekend at Aeolian Hall and cover rock’n’roll standards and say they do a Dice song or 2.
14. Bo Diddley…..Black Soul….from the Drive By CD which collects Bo’s funk recordings from 1970 to 1973 and a far cry from his hair cut and a shave two bits era.
15. Muddy Waters…Tom Cat….from his Electric Mud LP from 1968 and produced by Marshall Chess. Not your regular Muddy blues sounds and Muddy’s least favourite recording.
16. Rufus Thomas….The Dog…from a greatest hits compilation and from 1963 when Rufus was on Stax Records.
17. After Funk…..Freak a Little Bit and live to air as After Funk just happened to be in the studio and it took no persuasion for the band to do a couple of songs live to air. Some lively funk goings on that hopefully had some listeners up and dancing! They played that eve at Call The Office along with London’s Mountain Of Wolves.
18. After Funk…. As above, but don’t know the name of the song. When the show was over, the band was busy doing an interview that is supposed to air today.
19. Andre Williams and The Sadies….Psycho….from the Red Dirt LP from 1999 and this song in its original incarnation used to get airplay on CHUM AM when I was a kid. Andre Williams played Call The Office about 15 or more years ago to about a dozen very appreciative fans.
20. Black Joe Lewis….I Don’t Mind….from a 2005 7” on Shake Your Ass Records out of Italy.
21. Magic Sam…..21 Days In Jail….from the compilation CD Devil’s Blues……Magic Sam was based in Chicago and passed away way too young.
22. Barrence Whitfield and the Savages….Bloody Mary….from their Live Emulsified CD on Rounder Records. BW was at Call The Office a couple years back and put on a Killer show!
23. Etta James….Tough Lover…..from a Greatest Hits compilation and originally came out in 1956.
24. Louis Jordan….Caledonia….from the Rock’n’Roll Cd and originally recorded back in 1956. Features one of my fave guitar players, Mickey Baker who played countless sessions and appeared on many jazz records. He grew tired of the racial intolerance in the US and moved to France to carry on his career, passing away just a couple years back.
25. Garland Jeffries….Wild In The Steets…from his 1977 LP Ghost Writer and released prior as a single. This was played on many FM stations back in the day. Garland worked with Lou Reed prior to the Velvet Underground and with John Cale after he left the VU.
26. The Equals….Baby Come Back….from a 1968 7” and these guys were HUGE in the UK and did very little this side of the ocean.
27. Jimmy Cliff….The Harder They Come….from the CD and movie of the same name and from 1972.
28. James Brown…..I Don’t Mind….from his Live at the Apollo CD from 1962 and one of the best live LP’s ever!
29. Peter Tosh…..Steppin’ Razor….from a Greatest Hits CD and from 1977.

Out of time, but certainly not out of music. Huge Thanx to After Funk for playing an impromptu live to air session……had no idea they were going to be in the studio! And a Huge thanx for all the phone calls as the phone was ringing off the hook for a good part of the show and missed several calls. And Thanx for all the texts, emails, FB messages and Heys!!! Had an absolute Blast doing this show and hopefully we had some listeners up and dancing for this one.

Back again next week and already have a few requests lined up.

Radio What Wave/Invisible Man Playlist February 2/2018

A combined shot of CHRW’s Radio What Wave and UMFM’s Invisible Man over the airwaves of both radio stations at the same time!! You might even call it a simulcast, and according to all involved, this was a first for both radio stations!!

What started all this, The Invisible Man said he happened to be coming to London to visit family and would it be cool to drop by the radio station and appear on the show. I quickly agreed and said ‘maybe I should do an all Winnipeg show’ since The Invisible Man is from Winnipeg. CHRW’s PD Pam said that’s a cool idea, and somehow along the way, it was decided that UMFM would air Radio What Wave (with The Invisible Man as guest) in the usual Radio WW time slot, which is only 1 hour different from the regular Invisible Man time slot (our shows regularly overlap by 1 hour, but we’re in different time zones!). So what the listeners got, was a show that was broadcast in London Ontario and Winnipeg Manitoba simultaneously….for you non-Canadians reading, that’s half way cross the country!

We had a blast yammering about old bands, places, new bands and music in general and think both of us learned a lot.

1. Soul Jazz Orchestra…..Bull’s Eye….from their Resistance CD and they are playing at the Aeolian Hall next Friday night.
2. Coaching For Sara….Tonight’s The Night….from their Remastered CD and they were playing that eve at the 765 East,
3. Randall Pee Coltrane….Let Your Freak Flag Fly….from the Atomic Love Burrito CD and had to play this one for The Invisible Man for the horns and keys.
4. Twin Fin…..Jungle Room….from the Whiskey Wine and Venom Love CD
5. The Zellots….Let’s Play House….from the recent flexi and getting rave reviews everywhere.
6. The Vibrating Beds…..Baby…from the Sing The Blues 7” on Transistor 66 Records.
7. The Vibrating Beds….Let Me Be….as above.
8. The Vibrating Beds….Baby Tell Me….from the self titled EP on T66 Records.
9. The Vibrating Beds…..Some Kind Of Fool…as above and you got 4 shots of The VB and the story about the band.
10. The Electrics….The Girl Can’t Dance.
11. The Angry Dragons….Girlfriend….from the T66 CD
12. The Perpetrators….Smokes and Chicken….and according to The Invisible Man, one of the hottest combos in Winnipeg.
13. The Gruesomes….I Try….from Thee Cave Comes Alive and a request by a world famous poster artist who lives in London.
14. Dub Rifles….Reluctant Host….from the No Town No Country CD. Remember seeing these guys at the Embassy in the early 80’s.
15. Walkie Talkie…. Premiere
16. JFK and the Conspirators….The Rizla Skank…from the Mash Up and Dance CD and The Invisible Man played trombone on this one.
17. Novillero….The Hypothesist…from the Aim Right For The Holes In Their Lives….another Invisible Man guest shot on this one.
18. Duo Tang….Nostalgia Is A Vice…..The Invisible Man appears in the video for this song and sometimes guests live with Duo Tang.
19. The Guess Who…..Heart Broken Bopper….from the Rockin’ LP and my fave Guess Who song as we used this song to talk about the Jack Richardsons London Music Hall Of Fame being open the next day.
20. Popular Mechanix….Ice Box City….from their first LP and got to see these guys at the Cedar in about 1980 or so.
21. American Flamewhip….Fingertight….from the Finertight CD and we talked a bit about singer J Rod at this point.
22. The Surfadelics…..Surfadelic Beach Party.
23. Volume….Spiderman….from an EP of spider tunes.
24. Dirty Catfish Band…..Feet Don’t Fail Me Now.

A really fun show to do as we could have gone on for another hour or 2 easily as there was so much more we could have covered. Maybe someday, we can repeat this little adventure. Big Thanx to the crews at both CHRW and UMFM for undertaking the behind the scenes work to make it all happen!! And big Thanx to The Invisible Man for co-hosting and being real easy to work with!

17. The Gruesomes….Way Down Below….from the Gruesomania LP. All the LP’s came out on OG records and almost all The Gruesomes recordings have been re-released on Ricochet Sound with proper permission.
18. The Gruesomes….Hey! ….from the LP of the same name.
19. The Gruesomes….What Wave….from Mr Garager’s Neighbourhood. We used to start each edition of Radio WW with this, but it got to be predictable and this show isn’t meant to be.
20. The Gruesomes….3 Men One Coffin….played the version on Gruesomology, the Sundazed compilation CD of The Gruesomes. It was also released on the cassette Live In Hell, and the 7” record, A Billy that came with What Wave zine 18.
21. The Gruesomes….Cave In….from the CD of the same name from 2000.
22. The Gruesomes…..You’re Not The Boss Of Me…. As above.
23. Empty Hours…..Primitive….from the recent It’s About Time LP and from Brantford Ontario. They were an 80’s mod combo, that I’m pretty sure played a show with The Gruesomes. Recently got back together and are out playing again.
24. Dustbin Flowers…..Bayside Jenny…from their first CD and from 2013. Yet another London Ontario combo.
25. Coaching For Sara…..These People….from their recent remastered CD and they have a gig Saturday night at Norma Jeans here in London…..and again, from London Ontario.
26. The Reply…..The Reply….from their Downtown Soul CD from 2013 and former Londoner James Bond plays keys and does some vocals in this now defunct combo.
27. King Khan and the Shrines…..Don’t Walk Away Mad….from the 3 Hairs and You’re Mine CD from 2001.
28. Kumonga…..Completely Under Water….from their self titled CD from 2012.
29. The Rolling Stones…..Cry To Me….1965 recording from their recent On Air double CD of BBC recordings.
30. Mckenna Mendelson….Drive You….from their 1969 LP Stink.
31. Motorhead…..Leaving Here….debut 7” on Stiff Records and goes out to Fast Eddie who passed away last week.
32. The Hook Up…..Greyhound To Graceland….from their recent Cruel Sounds CD on T66 Records.
33. Ruth’s Hat…..Don’t Walk Away….from their double CD The Sun Sessions from 2006 and from London Ontario.
34. Sheesham and Lotus and Son…..Ida Red….from their brand new Clear The Table CD and from Kingston Ontario. Caught these highly entertaining clowns at SOHO last night and they put on an Excellent show!!! Such a fun live band!
35. The Saints….Swing For A Crime….from the Prehistoric Sounds Lp from 1978.

1. Coaching For Sara…..Sister Won’t….from their recent remastered CD, and they have a show coming up on January 20^th at Norma Jeans.
2. Dany Laj and The Looks…..Mr Screaming Attitude….from their latest, Alive And Kicking. We sent this one out to Dan Soden, our long time behind the scenes sports guy here at CHRW. Dan was always the guy behind the CHRW board for almost all the sports events that were broadcast over the airwaves of CHRW. He was also on a regular show, right before Radio WW for many years, so we became fairly good pals as we are the same age and heard a lot of the same music growing up. Sadly, Dan passed away yesterday and will be missed by all here at CHRW.
3. Arvidson and Butterflies….Blank Season….from a brand new 7” on the Beluga imprint out of Sweden, where this combo is from.

20. The Stooges….1970…from their Funhouse LP.

23. The Stooges….I Got A Right….from a 12” EP on Bomp Records that came out in 1991.

26. The Stooges….Scene Of The Crime….as above.
27. The Stooges…Cock In My Pocket….from a Revenge/Fan Club LP and my absolute fave Stooges song! First heard this when Teenage Head covered it back in the late 70’s and had to ask them what the song was.
28. Destroy All Monsters…..Bored….from a 1978 7” and features Ron Asheton on lead guitar, Niagara on vocals.
29. Destroy All Monsters….What Do I Get?....from a 1979 7” and as above.

Radio What Wave Playlist December 22/2017 Annual Seasonal Special

1. Randall and the Rivieras….Ghosts….from their recent CD and from London/Exeter. We had guitarist Pete DeKoker onair a few weeks back to talk about this release.
2. Marshmallow Overcoat….Santa Fuzz….from their Light Show CD and from 2008. What for a documentary on Marshmallow Overcoat in the new year….30 years!
3. The Gruesomes….Santa Claus….from the Gruesomania CD and originally on the 12” Primitive EP. Live, these guys would change the words when we were around to wanting a new edition of What Wave zine for Christmas! The CD is still in print on the Ricochet Label out of Montreal.
4. Kenne Highland….Can I Please Crawl Down Your Chimney…..from the Xmas Snertz CD on the Gulcher Label. Gulcher was one of the early protopunk labels that released The Gizmos records, of which Kenne was a member. Kenne also has connection to Mt Brydges Ontario, just a little west of London.
5. The Turtles….Sidewalk Surfer….from their double LP Greatest Hits compilation on Sire Records.
6. Quiet Jungle….Snoopy’s Christmas…from the Story Of Stoopy’s Christmas on ARC Records out of Toronto from 1968. Quiet Jungle get little mention on the cover of this one, but they were one of the infamous mid 60’s garagepunk combos from Toronto along with perennial faves, The Ugly Ducklings.
7. Mach Bell….C’mon Santa….also from the Xmas Snerts CD and Mach was in the protopunk combo Thundertrain. They were on the first Boston punk compilation, Live At The Rat.
8. Bitchlove…All I Want For Christmas Is Some White Stuff…..local one man noise maker who will most likely get his wish this Christmas.
9. 63 Monroe…..White Christmas….from their 1984 7” on Savvy Records and from here in London Ontario….one of those bands that just won’t go away as they are still out and playing, even hosting a show at SOHO on New Year’s Eve.
10. Urban Surf Kings….Jingle Bells….east coast instro combo who have released many many records, CD’s and demos.
11. Paul James Band….Run Rudolph Run…..from a 1986 7” on Lick’n’Stick Records. Got to see the Paul James Band earlier this year at the London Music Hall and they put on a phenomenal rock’n’roll show!!! Lots of jumping into the crowd, guitar behind the head, smiles all around and an amazing time!!  The bass player for this show, was Robbie Rox’s brother, who still plays out with Robbie Rox every now and then! Catch these guys if you get a chance as they won’t disappoint!
12. Jack Scott…..Trouble Brewin’….from the Black Christmas CD, supposedly a Christmas CD compiled by The Cramps.
13. Youngsters…..Christmas In Jail….as above and all about the perils of driving while drunk.
14. The Razorbacks…..All The Girls Look Prettier At Christmas…..1097 7” from this long gone Toronto rockabilly combo….one of the members still plays in The Royal Crowns.
15. John Lee Hooker….Blues For Christmas….from the above mentioned Black Christmas CD.

18. C W Stoneking…..On a Christmas Day….from the King Hokum CD from 2011 and from Australia. CW has made it to North America a couple of times, but we’ve yet to see him live. He hasn’t played London, but plays backwood cities like Saskatoon! Figure that out!
19. Lightnin’ Hopkins…..Happy New Years….from the above Arhoolie LP.
20. Screamin’ Jay Hawkins…..It’s Xmas….from the Midnight compilation LP, A Midnight Christmess  Volume 1. This is a compilation of acts, mostly east coast US garage combos from the early to mid 80’s that were on the Midnight Records Label. Screamin’ Jay was on the label for a short time, recording a live EP with The Fuzztones, before leaving reality once again.
21. Thee Eviltones…..It’s Christmas….from a demo a couple of years back.
22. Plan 9…..Merry Christmas….from the above Midnight Christmess LP and from Rhode Island. Plan 9 made it to London Ontario at least 3x, playing Bullwinkles, Key West and finally Call The Office.
23. Yard Trauma…Christmas Tyme….as above, but from Tucson. Lee Joseph, whom many of you will know from Dionysus Records played bass in this combo. He also had the best haircut at this point in  his  life!
24. Nadroj and the Wolrats……Forget It… as above, but from NYC and members of Outta Place and The Fuzztones may have been involved with this racket.
25. MX80 Sound….Christmas With The Devil…..from the We’re An American Band CD from 2005. MX80 Sound were a protopunk combo that was grouped in with metal combos for some odd reason and recorded on the Gulcher label mentioned above.
26. The Shanks…..Christmas Star….from their The Dark Richard Show CD from 2010 and from the Orangeville area of Ontario. 2 piece, with drums and bass guitar with loads of special effects. They play Europe fairly often and have released several records in Germany….not bad for an Ontario band from a little hick town!!

28. Roger Zuraw…..I’m In Love and It’s Christmas….from his 2005 CD There’s Life Then There’s Song. Roger is from Etobicoke and a regular listener.
29. The Ramones…..Merry Christmas…..from their Brain Drain LP and goes out to regular listener Danny P who requested this one, even though he knows we play it every year at this time!
30. The Fleshtones….Canadian Christmas….from their Stocking Stuffer LP and features Hamilton native Ken Fox on vocals.
31. The Fleshtones….Mr Santa Claus….as above, but with regular vocalist Peter Zaremba holding court.
32. Patsy Raye…..Beatnik’s Wish…..from the Swing For A Crime compilation LP that came out in the 80’s on GMG Records out of France.
33. Deja Voodoo….Bugs For Christmas….from their Too Cool To Live, Too Smart To Die EP on Midnight Records from 1985.
34. Slade……Merry Christmas Everybody….from their Greatest Hits CD and from 1973. Never understood why this was such a HUGE hit in the UK, but gets no airplay on this side of the ocean.
35. Mack Rice…..Santa Claus Wants Some Lovin’…..from the Trailer Trash Christmas compilation CD.

Thanx for all the phone calls, emails, facebook messages and Heys!!!  Back again next week with a short special on drummer Marky Keigan (Purple Toads, El Speedo, Crummy Stuff, Boneyard Devils) who passed away last week. We got to see The Purple Toads many times when they played London and think they even played a benefit or 2 for What Wave zine back in the day!
