TT 01 DJ Monday Flashcards
the final inning of the Blue Jays first-ever American League Championship victory, remember that one?
Of course they followed that up with their smash hit, the eleventh inning of the sixth game of the
1992 World Series, which is right up near the top of the Top 100 of our Top 10,000. First of a couple back-to-back #1s for the boys, it was kinda like the British Invasion for a while there, wasn’t it?
Yes, Andy Kim, most underrated of Canadian Cultural Ambassadors,
we’ll play something else from Mr. Kim for you
later in the show. Be My Baby. Fabulous tune.
I’d have played you Mr. Kim’s rendition…
Number 6,391, Northwest Passage.
Radio you can sing along to. And that one’s going out to Jim Stewart - not the movie star, though he’d be welcome to it if he were still around.
No, not the movie star Jimmy Stewart, but my cousin Jimmy Stewart.
Curly Boy? Grit? Some mother named her son Grit?
Yeah, I’ll bet. You don’t hear of secretaries general to the U.N. named Grit, or Curly Boy, now, do you?
Not that you hear a lot about secretaries general at all anymore, whatever their names. Or about the U.N., for that matter. I guess there’s reasons for that.
I guess there’s reasons for that.
Or are there? Now that’s an idea. What the world needs now is a United Nations. So let’s start one, right now: I’m serious about this, Radioland. Grit Laskin, you listening in to this broadcast? It’s your big chance, fella - just bring on down your…
First Andy, then Stan, then Percy, what next?
If only the CRTC could see us now…
Next up is something new, never charted at all before this because I hadn’t heard it yet. Scrounged it yesterday afternoon from what seems to have been…
Portishead, the tune is called Mysterons.
And you ought to have seen this place go crazy
when we put that tune on, people up dancing, it was really something. If you can believe it,
I was reminded of something I want to read to you,
if I can find it.
Well, if you can calm those hepcat digits
long enough to make them dial a telephone…
why don’t you go ahead and call in with your guess in our Name That Show Call-in Contest. It looks like we have, yes, I think we have some lines still open, we don’t have a winner yet, so why not give us a call at 261-CJOY, we’d love to hear from you.
but there’s a lot of tunes by, you guessed it, Les Beatles.
One of my late-night favourites coming up, a forgotten gem of their eponymous double album,
an exquisite George Harrison composition, Long, Long, Long. Followed by a some Beatles proto-psychedelia, Tomorrow Never Knows. And all of it set up with a little Helter Skelter lead-in in the background there.
A couple lesser known Beatle gems for all of you out in Radioland.
And I can just see you right about now. It’s after midnight, you’ve got your dial tuned to CJOY,
Radical Radio for the Apocalypse. Only you’re starting to nod off, music sounds a bit too much like the time of night and we’re losing you.
we’re losing you.
Well, can’t have that now, can we. Maybe this’ll be more to your tastes. We promised you something more from Canada’s very own Andrew Joachim, and here it is.
At any rate, you’ve got your crystal set tuned to CJOY,
commercial-free programming for the truly post-modern listener. Broadcasting from beautiful uptown Vancouver, from our studio high atop magnificent Iona Towers, this is Ronnie Fever…
Turn it up and sing along!
And hey. If you’re tuning us in for the first time, listen, I want to invite you all to come down to the station here, where every night is Meet The DJ Night. We’ve had listeners drop in from as far away as Seattle WA…
