Breakwater	Release The Beast "Release The Beast" by "Breakwater"	Release The Beast 7"	Be With Records	2019	This mighty slab of funk may have been lost to the ages, except for the great stroke of luck of having Daft Punk sampling a large chunk of it for their song "Robot Rock". This tune is proof that it is so, so much more than that pummelling sample...the vocal delivery, killer solos and lyrics make this a tune that absolutely should be included in the pantheon of great funk tunes. Possessing a sound and a feel that was lightyears ahead of its time, “Release The Beast” is a showcase for Breakwater’s phenomenal power-funk capabilities. The energy is astounding. It rips out of the grooves on a deep funk tip, with speaker-smashing, room-shaking drums competing with distorted funk-rock guitar, bumping bass and space-age synths. But it’s not without its compellingly haunting elements too. What else can we say? It’s a genius piece of music.		0:19:47 (Pop-up)
No More	Suicide Commando "Suicide Commando" by "No More"	Suicide Commando 7"	Too Late Records	1981	No More was founded by Andy A. Schwarz (vocals, guitar, bass), Tina Sanudakura (synthesizers), Christian Darc (drums, vocals) and Thomas Welz (bass, vocals) in Kiel, a seaside town in the northern part of Germany. The 7" EP "Too Late" was the first release in 1980 and was recorded in a small laundry-room with a 4-track TEAC (the EP was reviewed in the German SOUNDS-magazine as "strangely, archaic music, brute sound that seems to be recorded with a purposely damaged 4-track"). After the departure of Thomas Welz at the end of 1980, No More worked as a trio until the end of 1983. The song "Suicide Commando" (released in 1981 and not to be confused with the Belgian band Suicide Commando, who named themselves after that song) is the band's biggest success. The New Musical Express described "Suicide Commando" as "suitable German electro fashion" but the song spread in the following years internationally regardless of genre and scene. In the 1990s the song entered the Techno- and Electroscene, when it was remixed by DJ Hell and Echopark (Moguai & Torsten Stenzel).		0:24:26 (Pop-up)
The Locos	Guantanamera Rock "Guantanamera Rock" by "The Locos"	Guantanamera Rock 7" (Promo)	RCA/Victor	1966	The Locos de Ritmo are Mexico’s premier rock ‘n roll group who have been recording since 1957 and who still perform today. ack in 1966 they played at THE Whisky a Go Go along with Gene Clark’s Band (later THE Byrds). An unknown The Doors opened their sets at the Whiskey a gogo before the fame they gained in 1967....Happy Cinco De Mayo!!!		0:27:45 (Pop-up)
Spanish Town Skabeats	Stop That Train	Stop That Train/Stir The Pot 7"	Rock A Shaka	2021	"Stop That Train" is a 1965 ska song by Jamaican band The Spanishtonians (also known as the Spanish Town Skabeats), that has been covered and sampled by numerous artists. Its most famous cover was its first, a 1967 cover by Keith & Tex. That rendition was in turn sampled by various artists, including Scotty, the Beastie Boys and Vanilla Ice. The song has also been covered by Clint Eastwood & General Saint and Don Campbell. Great vocal performance, a driving beat and blazing horns all add up to a ska classic and dancefloor killer.		0:30:18 (Pop-up)
Les Surts	C'est Grace A Toi "C'est Grace A Toi" by "Les Surts"	J'ai Tant De Joie/C'est Grace A Toi 7"	RCA/Victor	1967	This is a fantastic cover of "You Can't Hurry Love" Coco, Pat, Rocky, Dave, Monikya (Monique), and Nicole Rabaraona were the eldest six of twelve children. Born in Madagascar, the four brothers and two sisters performed as the vocal group "Les Surfs" from 1963 to 1971. They recorded and toured throughout the 1960s in languages and countries all over the world. Performances at San Remo secured them as a popular act in Italy, Spain, and Germany. With further television appearances in France, Italy, England, and the United States they garnered an international audience of millions. As a dynamic-sounding, original-looking group, they secured many original compositions and some covers of English-language songs. They ended in 1971, as family life and children took over from performing. The following years would see Monica and Rocky reunite for a couple of years but this didn't last. The boys settled in Canada and started their own families. Monica lived in Canada for a while but eventually returned to live in France. Nicole immigrated to the United States and worked as a carer for children in need. Monika died suddenly on November 15, 1993 at the age of 48. She is survived by her two sons Lawrence and Nicolas. Nicole died on May 5, 2000 and was laid to rest with her sister in the Rabaraona family tomb in Fiakarana, Madagascar.		0:32:50 (Pop-up)
Bobby Paris	Night Owl "Night Owl" by "Bobby Paris"	Night Owl/Tears On My Pillow 7"	Cameo- Parkway	1966	Blue-eyed soul singer Bobby Paris was born and raised in New York City -- the product of a Puerto Rican family, he began singing with a neighborhood doo wop group called the Golden Keys in 1956. His first and biggest hit was 1966's "Night Owl" -- based on a melody Paris composed on piano at the age of five, the single was a huge hit and kept its struggling label Cameo/Parkway financially solvent. In the years to follow, "Night Owl," "I Walked Away," and "Per-So-Nal-Ly" all emerged as enduring anthems of Britain's Northern Soul club culture, a fact lost on Paris himself until he was contacted in 1999 to appear in the documentary film The Strange World of Northern Soul. And it's true, "Night Owl" is THE sound of Northern Soul!		0:36:07 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: King Tubby	Take Five "Take Five" by "King Tubby"	Declaration of Dub	Delta 18	2002			0:38:31 (Pop-up)
The Clash ft. Ranking Roger	Rock the Casbah	Rock The Casbah feat. Ranking Roger Single	Sony	2022	As part of the Combat Rock 40th anniversary release, this song will be released as a special 7". Ranking Roger was of course the vocalist for English Beat...his high energy toasting on this version brings it to a whole other level. The B-side of the single features a similar treatment of the (also awesome) Clash tune Red Angel Dragnet. Out May 20th on Rough Trade Records!	*	0:52:00 (Pop-up)
The Clash	Straight To Hell (Full Unedited Version)	Clash On Broadway	Epic/Legacy	1991	With the expanded 2022 issue of The Clash's "Combat Rock" looming close at hand, I took the opportunity to investigate my own collection & find a related companion piece. This is the full (6:55) version of Straight To Hell, replete with verses that would later be edited out of the album cut. "Pssst... / Hey Chico we got a message for ya... / Vamos vamos muchaho / From Alphabet City all the way A to Z, Dead, Head"	*	0:56:07 (Pop-up)
M.I.A., DFA	Paper Planes (DFA Remix)	Paper Planes Homeland Security Remixes	XL Recordings Ltd.	2008	I wanted very much to play M.I.A.'s Paper Planes after the Full Unedited "Straight To Hell", since The Clash sample is used so effectively and perfectly. We weren't sure if that would serve our purposes best, though. Then the "Homeland Security Remixes" EP was discovered. Now there are surprises for all of us today!!!		1:03:02 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: The Clash	Mustapha Dance "Mustapha Dance" by "The Clash"	Clash Singles	Sony	1982	B-Side to Rock The Casbah, an instrumental version. -- "The version of the song on Combat Rock, as well as many other Clash compilations, features an electronic sound effect beginning at the 1:52-minute point of the song. This noise is a monophonic version of the song "Dixie". The sound effect source was generated by the alarm from a digital wristwatch that Mick Jones owned, and was intentionally added to the recording by Jones. The single version has more pronounced bass. Also when Joe Strummer screams "The crowd caught a whiff / Of that crazy casbah jive" at the end of the third verse the word "jive" is sustained for several seconds with digital delay.[citation needed] Additionally, the sound effects of the jet fighters in the last verse are lower in the mix, particularly just after "drop your bombs between the minarets." The single version of the song is what is played in the music video. "Mustapha Dance", which features in many releases of the single, is an instrumental remix of the song."		1:08:50 (Pop-up)
Pecola	Worker And Parasite "Worker And Parasite" by "Pecola"	The Mexican	Kosher Rock Records	1998	Pecola was a band from Toronto, Ontario. KosherRockRecords was a label that used to be active in Toronto at the end of the 90's and early 00's... It can be found on the internet using the Wayback Machine, but not using regular searches. So I guess that's history, then? Shout-out to all the members of Pecola. Miss seeing you around these parts.		1:16:09 (Pop-up)
USA Nails	I Don't Own Anything "I Don't Own Anything" by "USA Nails"	Character Shop	Hex Records	2020	USA Nails is a punk band from London. This is from their fifth album. They have toured with Metz. They have also opened for Mission Of Burma and shared bills with Idles. They also love Crack Cloud, and rightly so, because Crack Cloud are great.		1:19:47 (Pop-up)
Psychic Graveyard	Is There A Hotline?	A Bluebird Vacation	Deathbomb Arc	2020	Psychic Graveyard is Eric Paul, Paul Vieira, Charles Ovett, and Nathan Joyner. The sound of fireworks used as a musical instrument on ‘A Bluebird Vacation’ perfectly symbolizes the range of powers Psychic Graveyard wields. Pretty and enthusiastic if they want, but if they choose to get in your face, the sound of celebration becomes one of pain. Interweaving field recordings like, and other non-traditional instruments into their distinctive style of rhythmic meanness, Psychic Graveyard find themselves in new territory. Very few tracks include guitars at all. The results work hand in hand with the lyrics addressing very personal experiences with mental illness, antidepressants and benzodiazepines, and the difficulty of helping families going through their own challenges. These sounds don’t blindly spin into despair nor foolishly claim that overcoming just requires finding the right vocal melody. These songs are as messy as life itself, in all its stupid beauty.		1:20:59 (Pop-up)
Thank	Dread "Dread" by "Thank"	Thoughtless Cruelty	Box Records	2022	This is a record that is meant to be played as loud as possible, an album that is filled with clever lyrics, a clear nihilistic view of the world, and pounding instrumentals. Thoughtless Cruelty is described as “a stark observation of human cruelty filtered through the band’s grim fascinations including long term nuclear warnings” something that becomes obvious when listening to vocalist Freddy Vinehill-Cliffe. It’s 32 minutes of an interesting take on noise rock with a sense of humor.	*	1:24:02 (Pop-up)
Stuck	Labour Leisure "Labour Leisure" by "Stuck"	Labour Leisure Single	Exploding In Sound	2021	Fun is work. Work is "fun". No it's not. This one goes out to all the workers out there for a belated May Day. “Labor Leisure” is about the dissolving boundaries between work life and home life. As we are constantly reminded about how we can optimize our productivity, our diet, our free time etc, we internalize that “hustle mindset” and it negatively reflects in our personal lives. Often it can make what we do for fun feel like a task. Just remember kids, your worth is not measured by your productivity....		1:27:42 (Pop-up)
Sports Team	Here's The Thing "Here's The Thing" by "Sports Team"	Deep Down Happy	Bright Antenna Records	2020	London-based rock band Sports Team are best known for their unwavering assessment of British society, but their lyrical insights apply far and wide. “Here’s the Thing” is a cathartic explosion of disillusionment, complete with wailing horns and guitars. It tackles the competitive mindset of capitalism (“If you’re in bed then someone else is catching worms”) and unrealistic fad dieting (“If you just change the way you eat you’ll never die.”) Listening to it briefly punctures the low hum of existential stress that has settled in my brain. These are, as I hate to remind you, unprecedented times, and the dissonance between the more mundane aspects of life and the overarching issues we are facing can be dramatic.		1:30:15 (Pop-up)
The Clockworks	Enough Is Never Enough	Enough Is Never Enough	Creation 23	2020	With a penchant for matching snarling kitchen-sink commentary with insuppressible sonic tenacity, the time is surely now for The Clockworks. Formed in Galway and drawn together by a mutual appreciation of post-punk’s darkest corners, The Clockworks are a four-piece comprising James McGregor on Vocals/Guitar, Sean Connelly on Guitar, Damian Greaney on Drums and Tom Freeman on bass. The song follows the lives of separate but interconnected individuals in society: from a bigoted Café owner to beleagured kitchen porters, dreaming buskers to down-and-out beggars. Pulling together the fragments of our fractured society, “Enough Is Never Enough” creates a vivid collage that depicts its failings in one painstaking picture.		1:33:08 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Forever Pavot	Roller "Roller" by "Forever Pavot"	Babysitter OST	Phase4 Productions	2022	Babysitter is a French Canadian film. The movie is based on the 2017 play by Catherine Léger and follows a man who loses his job after a sexist joke he makes goes viral on social media and – together with his girfriend – hires a mysterious and liberated babysitter to help shake things up. Forever Pavot make amazingly dreamy, wonderful, music that are perfectly suited to soundtracks, and seem to have picked up where AIR left off...		1:35:55 (Pop-up)
New Chance	Two Pictures "Two Pictures" by "New Chance"	Real Time	We Are Time	2021	"New Chance is an electronic music producer and vocalist from Toronto. Recent projects include a collaboration with reggae legend Willi Williams, and the musical duo, Nice Hands, with poet Aisha Sasha John. She sings backup with Chandra and with Jennifer Castle’s Angels of Death." New Chance Bandcamp		1:46:59 (Pop-up)

Dirty Beaches	True Blue "True Blue" by "Dirty Beaches"	Badlands	ZOO Music	2010	Alex Zhang Hungtai (born September 4, 1980 in Taipei) is a Taiwanese-born Canadian musician and actor. In addition to his given name, he makes music under the names Last Lizard and Dirty Beaches. Zhang released several EPs and three albums as Dirty Beaches on cassette-only labels before releasing his fourth full-length, Badlands, in March 2011.Badlands, unlike Zhang's earlier work, included his vocals on most songs. The album was long listed as a nominee for the 2011 Polaris Music Prize.		1:55:23 (Pop-up)
Fontaines D.C.	Roman Holiday "Roman Holiday" by "Fontaines D.C."	Skinty Fia	Partisan Records	2022	Hailed as the "BEST BAND IN THE WORLD" by the UK press is a heavy burden to carry. But they are up to the challenge. They have transcended the post punk ghetto to reinvent themselves, which is a welcome thing to witness. On the band’s third album in four years, Skinty Fia, Fontaines D.C. detail what it’s like to be the boys in a not-so-better land, as Irish expats who may share the same skin tone and speak the same language as England’s dominant culture, but who are instantly singled out the moment their accents are revealed in mixed company. Named for an arcane Irish slur that translates to “damnation of the deer”—which, for Fontaines’ purposes, functions as a vivid metaphor of cultural mutation and degradation—Skinty Fia is a record about living in a place that looks like home but doesn’t feel like it.	*	1:58:13 (Pop-up)

	8:00pm Rich in Washington: Hi Babs N' Derek! I'll be listening but probably won't be near a keyboard (unless I try commenting via the (cr)App.)
	8:01pm Alli B: Hi guys!
	8:04pm Mr Fab: Hey all! This out-Residents The Residents.
	8:04pm DJ Babs: lol hi guys we hope you enjoyed our vaccuum solo there.
	8:04pm Alli B: Hahaha! 💨
	8:05pm DJ Babs: hello Rich!
	8:05pm Mr Fab: Is it available anywhere?
	8:05pm DJ Babs: Hello Fab and Alli!!!!
	8:06pm DJ Babs: We're starting with a bit of Toronna
	8:07pm DJ Babs: literally this song is like someone wrote a song about us, LOL
	8:07pm Zipperhead7: Hi Babs, Derek and Beach bunnies! This sounds a bit like Johnny Cash backed by the Velvets
	8:07pm DJ Babs: Our vaccum solo? We just bought it yesterday. It's the one pictured in our artwork this week. We got it at canadian tire, baby!
	8:08pm DJ Babs: Hello Zipperhead. Yes, also you can sing Heroes by Bowie over this song too!
	8:08pm Mr Fab: Zipperhead7, ha, yeah was just gonna say: rather Lou Reed/VU, this.
	8:09pm DJ Babs: now when Derek starts talking too long in the announcements I'll just fire up the vaccum, lol
	🏝 8:11pm Scott67: G'day Babs, Derek & Beachers! ☕😎🤙🌞🌏⛱️🌊
	8:21pm Alli B: 🔥🔥🔥
	8:22pm DJ Babs: Hellooooo Scott! Nice to see ya buddy!
	8:23pm DJ Babs: T'is trooo this song is the shiiiiiiiiit
	8:29pm DJ Babs: Happy Cinco De Mayo!!!
	8:32pm Zipperhead7: Wow first time I've heard this!
	8:33pm DJ Babs: This version of Stop That Train? It's a good one!!!!
	8:33pm Derek Westerholm: Hi there Rich, Alli, Fab, Zipperhead, Scott; hello hello hello!!! So happy to see you all here!
	8:39pm Derek Westerholm: That song off the top, Whitney K, crazy how Lou Reed he sounds, for sure. As Babs mentioned, seems to be a heavy "Heroes" homage going on there, too; but he mentions the exact streetcar/neighbourhood that we inhabit. It was weird devising a theme (things in the mail) and then getting a package from England the next day w/ this song & artist we'd never heard of prior, singing about Toronto, Parkdale & mentioning a couple of things that were actually happening in our lives this week. Sometimes life is weird like that. I also like that he is from Montreal (not Toronto) and on "Maple Death" records. Haha.
	8:40pm Alli B: Oof 🔥🔥🔥
	8:53pm DJ Babs: This version makes me SO HAPPY!
	8:54pm Mr Fab: Whooah, never thought that this would get an official release! This was a bootleg I had on cassette back in the day. It was called "Dub The Casbah." The audio fidelity is certainly better than my old copy, haha.
	8:55pm Zipperhead7: Never heard this before either, though I have the Rat Patrol from Fort Bragg outtakes
	🏝 8:55pm Scott67: I like it! 😎🤙
	8:56pm DJ Babs: I AM SO STOKED . The B side is Ranking Roger on Red Angel Dragnet another one of my very favourites. You can pre order it on Rough Trade. I didn't even wait for it to hit the shops I'm not taking any chances!
	9:01pm DJ Nico: Hola!
	9:02pm DJ Babs: Hi Nico!!! Thank you for joining us tonight!!!
	9:02pm DJ Babs: Looking forward to seeing you at With It on Saturday...we'll have a great party for your anniversary!!!
	9:06pm DJ Babs: I love it when the young'uns learn that the hook for this tune is a Clash song. :-)
	9:07pm Alli B: TOO BUSY DANCING TO DIE AT EVERY SONG 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
	9:08pm DJ Babs: that's awesome! This is a great remix. I love James Murphy remixes...
	🏝 9:11pm Kristine: hey friends
	9:15pm DJ Babs: hi Kristine!! Welcome!!!
	🏝 9:16pm Kristine: aww pecola!
	🏝 9:17pm Kristine: good choice derek!
	9:19pm Derek Westerholm: Hi Kristine! Thanks! One of Toronto's many hidden past gems... Pecola were fantastic! How are you?
	9:19pm Andres: Hi, Babs and Derek! I found Rock The Casbah via after school video shows, pre-Much. Did I miss the Leafs chat? ;)
	🏝 9:20pm Kristine: oh i am good, i am in hamilton for the summer, so just adjusting to that!
	9:21pm DJ Babs: Hi Andres! Yes! Rock the Casbah indeed did change my lyfe! And no leafs chat yet but we're up for it!!! That first game was banans!!!
	9:21pm Derek Westerholm: Andres, Leafs chat is possible, but generally I sideline that outside my music spheres, haha. But yeah, how 'bout them Leafs, huh?
	9:22pm Andres: Kristine, head to Donut Monster to ease the adjustment.
	9:23pm Andres: We need the Babs and Derek simulcast commentary for the full Leafs rundown!
	🏝 9:23pm Kristine: they good? one day i will try em
	9:23pm Mr Fab: ooh, very Suicide.
	9:24pm DJ Babs: This tune is so awesome. I am very much into this band....
	9:24pm DJ Babs: Andres you do NOT want our hockey commentary LOL. It's mostly me slagging Nylander
	9:25pm Mr Fab: btw, if you only know Suicide's first two, you don't know em! Their later three albums have a slightly more higher-tech sound, like that Psychic Graveyard track actually. Recommended!
	9:25pm DJ Babs: This band THANK is also freakin great. they have another song called "Good Boy" that crushes.
	9:25pm Andres: Kristine, the best apple fritter! The Hamont is my other fave, like a Boston Cream but better.
	9:27pm Andres: Babs, slagging Nylander sounds about right.
	🏝 9:28pm Kristine: ooh boy, i love a good apple fritter.
	9:29pm DJ Babs: same! There was a bakery in Cobourg called the Dutch Oven that made theeee best Fritters. Also my oma's apple fritters were the bomb!
	🏝 9:31pm Kristine: makes me think of donuts from Tims of yore, we would always get a bakers dozen. i must go to this place now.
	9:35pm DJ Babs: i miss donuts. I can't even remember the last time I had one!!!
	9:38pm Alli B: There’s a tiny little walk up cafe around the corner called The Sovereign and they have KILLER old school apple fritters with the super crispy edges. Unfhhhh. I wish I’d never seen them.
	9:43pm Andres: Alli B: On Oakwood? How’s the coffee? My fave, I Deal, in Kensington closed.
	9:44pm Tyler: Howdy Beachcombers!
	9:45pm Tyler: It's quite a trek. but San Remo has some of the best donuts & apple fritters I've had. They also have awesome panini and i Italian food.
	9:45pm DJ Babs: Hello Tyler! Welcome!
	9:46pm Tyler: Hi Babs! Thanks!
	9:48pm Alli B: I’ve only tried the double Americano but it’s absolutely delicious!
	9:48pm Alli B: Oops and yes it’s right on the corner of Davenport and Oakwood
	9:49pm Tyler: @Andres The Oakwood Cafe also has excellent coffee.
	9:50pm Andres: Appreciating the donut and coffee tips!
	9:51pm Tyler: @Babs and/or Derek this sounds like some of the stuff on the Ghostbox label.
	9:51pm Zipperhead7: A great show, folks. So many wonderful new discoveries! Thanks!
	9:52pm Derek Westerholm: Tyler, yes, I thought so too! Reminds me of the Broadcast collabs w/ Ghostbox... This came in the mail on Tuesday (second Uncut we received this week)
	9:53pm Alli B: Tyler I couldn’t find Oakwood Cafe when I googled it. Is it Oakwood Hardware?
	9:53pm Tyler: @Derek - cheers! Do you like The Microphones?
	9:55pm Tyler: @Ali B - it's a very little place a bit north of St. Clair. Here's their site: https://oakwoodespresso.com/
	9:57pm Alli B: Thanks so much Tyler! (Autocorrect wanted to call you Tiger)
	9:57pm DJ Babs: hahah! I don't know about the Microphones Tyler...Derek might though...
	9:58pm Andres: ... From Echo Beach ending off with Dirty Beaches. Nice! Thanks, you two! Take care, all!
	9:58pm Alli B: Thank you so much you guys!
	9:59pm Tyler: No worries, Ali. Besides great coffee they have some pretty delicious Amaretti. It's ok if you call me Tyger, but call me Tiger and I'll be offended :)
	9:59pm Derek Westerholm: Tyler, (re: The Microphones), never really got too deeply into them. (Or the related projects.) That being said, I like what I heard. I believe I have one of their key albums kicking around, but I rescued it while doing some cleanup work for someone, so it isn't the best playing copy. I'll re-investigate and see if it doesn't ruin our sylus, haha. Do you recommend their/his stuff?
	10:00pm Alli B: Can’t wait to try it! Cheers, Tyger! 🐅
	10:01pm Richington: Thanks Babs n' Derek! Lovely show this evening! :)
	10:01pm Derek Westerholm: Kristine, I hope the Hammer treats you well. Curious to hear how your summer there goes. I am very fond of Hamilton, truth be told; though I know it can be a pretty tough city.
	10:01pm Tyler: @Babs The Microphones is basically one guy with a wide revolving door of collaborators that makes very woodsy, atmospheric music. I saw him play solo at the Great Hall, busk his own merch table and was looking for a place to stay for the night. He got the audience at the Great Hall to sing the harmonies which was quite moving and haunting since The Great Hall is a former church.
	10:02pm DJ Babs: oh wow that sounds super cool!!!
	🏝 10:02pm Scott67: Thanks Babs & Derek, great stuff guys!! 🍻😎🤙❤️❤️
	10:02pm Tyler: @Alli hope you like it. Tell Tony I sent you (gotta make my comish) :)
	10:03pm Derek Westerholm: Phil Elverum = The Microphones, Mt. Eerie etc. Good call... Will listen more
	10:03pm Tyler: Some of The Microphones album covers are recycled covers from other records turned inside out and hand drawn.
	10:04pm Derek Westerholm: Woah, Tyler, thanks again for all your rich comments. Always learn so much from you!
	10:05pm Tyler: Thanks Babs & Derek. Glad I caught the end. Had to run out for a Mother's Day gift, but enjoyed what I heard & will listen to the rest later.
	10:05pm Tyler: Hope you all have a great night! Thanks!
	10:06pm Derek Westerholm: Thanks everyone! Hope you all have a great night, too! So lovely to see you all here.
	10:06pm DJ Babs: Take care everyone! We will see you all next week! You're the best!

Breakwater	Release The Beast "Release The Beast" by "Breakwater"	Release The Beast 7"	Be With Records	2019	This mighty slab of funk may have been lost to the ages, except for the great stroke of luck of having Daft Punk sampling a large chunk of it for their song "Robot Rock". This tune is proof that it is so, so much more than that pummelling sample...the vocal delivery, killer solos and lyrics make this a tune that absolutely should be included in the pantheon of great funk tunes. Possessing a sound and a feel that was lightyears ahead of its time, “Release The Beast” is a showcase for Breakwater’s phenomenal power-funk capabilities. The energy is astounding. It rips out of the grooves on a deep funk tip, with speaker-smashing, room-shaking drums competing with distorted funk-rock guitar, bumping bass and space-age synths. But it’s not without its compellingly haunting elements too. What else can we say? It’s a genius piece of music.		0:19:47 (Pop-up)
No More	Suicide Commando "Suicide Commando" by "No More"	Suicide Commando 7"	Too Late Records	1981	No More was founded by Andy A. Schwarz (vocals, guitar, bass), Tina Sanudakura (synthesizers), Christian Darc (drums, vocals) and Thomas Welz (bass, vocals) in Kiel, a seaside town in the northern part of Germany. The 7" EP "Too Late" was the first release in 1980 and was recorded in a small laundry-room with a 4-track TEAC (the EP was reviewed in the German SOUNDS-magazine as "strangely, archaic music, brute sound that seems to be recorded with a purposely damaged 4-track"). After the departure of Thomas Welz at the end of 1980, No More worked as a trio until the end of 1983. The song "Suicide Commando" (released in 1981 and not to be confused with the Belgian band Suicide Commando, who named themselves after that song) is the band's biggest success. The New Musical Express described "Suicide Commando" as "suitable German electro fashion" but the song spread in the following years internationally regardless of genre and scene. In the 1990s the song entered the Techno- and Electroscene, when it was remixed by DJ Hell and Echopark (Moguai & Torsten Stenzel).		0:24:26 (Pop-up)
The Locos	Guantanamera Rock "Guantanamera Rock" by "The Locos"	Guantanamera Rock 7" (Promo)	RCA/Victor	1966	The Locos de Ritmo are Mexico’s premier rock ‘n roll group who have been recording since 1957 and who still perform today. ack in 1966 they played at THE Whisky a Go Go along with Gene Clark’s Band (later THE Byrds). An unknown The Doors opened their sets at the Whiskey a gogo before the fame they gained in 1967....Happy Cinco De Mayo!!!		0:27:45 (Pop-up)
Spanish Town Skabeats	Stop That Train	Stop That Train/Stir The Pot 7"	Rock A Shaka	2021	"Stop That Train" is a 1965 ska song by Jamaican band The Spanishtonians (also known as the Spanish Town Skabeats), that has been covered and sampled by numerous artists. Its most famous cover was its first, a 1967 cover by Keith & Tex. That rendition was in turn sampled by various artists, including Scotty, the Beastie Boys and Vanilla Ice. The song has also been covered by Clint Eastwood & General Saint and Don Campbell. Great vocal performance, a driving beat and blazing horns all add up to a ska classic and dancefloor killer.		0:30:18 (Pop-up)
Les Surts	C'est Grace A Toi "C'est Grace A Toi" by "Les Surts"	J'ai Tant De Joie/C'est Grace A Toi 7"	RCA/Victor	1967	This is a fantastic cover of "You Can't Hurry Love" Coco, Pat, Rocky, Dave, Monikya (Monique), and Nicole Rabaraona were the eldest six of twelve children. Born in Madagascar, the four brothers and two sisters performed as the vocal group "Les Surfs" from 1963 to 1971. They recorded and toured throughout the 1960s in languages and countries all over the world. Performances at San Remo secured them as a popular act in Italy, Spain, and Germany. With further television appearances in France, Italy, England, and the United States they garnered an international audience of millions. As a dynamic-sounding, original-looking group, they secured many original compositions and some covers of English-language songs. They ended in 1971, as family life and children took over from performing. The following years would see Monica and Rocky reunite for a couple of years but this didn't last. The boys settled in Canada and started their own families. Monica lived in Canada for a while but eventually returned to live in France. Nicole immigrated to the United States and worked as a carer for children in need. Monika died suddenly on November 15, 1993 at the age of 48. She is survived by her two sons Lawrence and Nicolas. Nicole died on May 5, 2000 and was laid to rest with her sister in the Rabaraona family tomb in Fiakarana, Madagascar.		0:32:50 (Pop-up)
Bobby Paris	Night Owl "Night Owl" by "Bobby Paris"	Night Owl/Tears On My Pillow 7"	Cameo- Parkway	1966	Blue-eyed soul singer Bobby Paris was born and raised in New York City -- the product of a Puerto Rican family, he began singing with a neighborhood doo wop group called the Golden Keys in 1956. His first and biggest hit was 1966's "Night Owl" -- based on a melody Paris composed on piano at the age of five, the single was a huge hit and kept its struggling label Cameo/Parkway financially solvent. In the years to follow, "Night Owl," "I Walked Away," and "Per-So-Nal-Ly" all emerged as enduring anthems of Britain's Northern Soul club culture, a fact lost on Paris himself until he was contacted in 1999 to appear in the documentary film The Strange World of Northern Soul. And it's true, "Night Owl" is THE sound of Northern Soul!		0:36:07 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: King Tubby	Take Five "Take Five" by "King Tubby"	Declaration of Dub	Delta 18	2002			0:38:31 (Pop-up)
The Clash ft. Ranking Roger	Rock the Casbah	Rock The Casbah feat. Ranking Roger Single	Sony	2022	As part of the Combat Rock 40th anniversary release, this song will be released as a special 7". Ranking Roger was of course the vocalist for English Beat...his high energy toasting on this version brings it to a whole other level. The B-side of the single features a similar treatment of the (also awesome) Clash tune Red Angel Dragnet. Out May 20th on Rough Trade Records!	*	0:52:00 (Pop-up)
The Clash	Straight To Hell (Full Unedited Version)	Clash On Broadway	Epic/Legacy	1991	With the expanded 2022 issue of The Clash's "Combat Rock" looming close at hand, I took the opportunity to investigate my own collection & find a related companion piece. This is the full (6:55) version of Straight To Hell, replete with verses that would later be edited out of the album cut. "Pssst... / Hey Chico we got a message for ya... / Vamos vamos muchaho / From Alphabet City all the way A to Z, Dead, Head"	*	0:56:07 (Pop-up)
M.I.A., DFA	Paper Planes (DFA Remix)	Paper Planes Homeland Security Remixes	XL Recordings Ltd.	2008	I wanted very much to play M.I.A.'s Paper Planes after the Full Unedited "Straight To Hell", since The Clash sample is used so effectively and perfectly. We weren't sure if that would serve our purposes best, though. Then the "Homeland Security Remixes" EP was discovered. Now there are surprises for all of us today!!!		1:03:02 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: The Clash	Mustapha Dance "Mustapha Dance" by "The Clash"	Clash Singles	Sony	1982	B-Side to Rock The Casbah, an instrumental version. -- "The version of the song on Combat Rock, as well as many other Clash compilations, features an electronic sound effect beginning at the 1:52-minute point of the song. This noise is a monophonic version of the song "Dixie". The sound effect source was generated by the alarm from a digital wristwatch that Mick Jones owned, and was intentionally added to the recording by Jones. The single version has more pronounced bass. Also when Joe Strummer screams "The crowd caught a whiff / Of that crazy casbah jive" at the end of the third verse the word "jive" is sustained for several seconds with digital delay.[citation needed] Additionally, the sound effects of the jet fighters in the last verse are lower in the mix, particularly just after "drop your bombs between the minarets." The single version of the song is what is played in the music video. "Mustapha Dance", which features in many releases of the single, is an instrumental remix of the song."		1:08:50 (Pop-up)
Pecola	Worker And Parasite "Worker And Parasite" by "Pecola"	The Mexican	Kosher Rock Records	1998	Pecola was a band from Toronto, Ontario. KosherRockRecords was a label that used to be active in Toronto at the end of the 90's and early 00's... It can be found on the internet using the Wayback Machine, but not using regular searches. So I guess that's history, then? Shout-out to all the members of Pecola. Miss seeing you around these parts.		1:16:09 (Pop-up)
USA Nails	I Don't Own Anything "I Don't Own Anything" by "USA Nails"	Character Shop	Hex Records	2020	USA Nails is a punk band from London. This is from their fifth album. They have toured with Metz. They have also opened for Mission Of Burma and shared bills with Idles. They also love Crack Cloud, and rightly so, because Crack Cloud are great.		1:19:47 (Pop-up)
Psychic Graveyard	Is There A Hotline?	A Bluebird Vacation	Deathbomb Arc	2020	Psychic Graveyard is Eric Paul, Paul Vieira, Charles Ovett, and Nathan Joyner. The sound of fireworks used as a musical instrument on ‘A Bluebird Vacation’ perfectly symbolizes the range of powers Psychic Graveyard wields. Pretty and enthusiastic if they want, but if they choose to get in your face, the sound of celebration becomes one of pain. Interweaving field recordings like, and other non-traditional instruments into their distinctive style of rhythmic meanness, Psychic Graveyard find themselves in new territory. Very few tracks include guitars at all. The results work hand in hand with the lyrics addressing very personal experiences with mental illness, antidepressants and benzodiazepines, and the difficulty of helping families going through their own challenges. These sounds don’t blindly spin into despair nor foolishly claim that overcoming just requires finding the right vocal melody. These songs are as messy as life itself, in all its stupid beauty.		1:20:59 (Pop-up)
Thank	Dread "Dread" by "Thank"	Thoughtless Cruelty	Box Records	2022	This is a record that is meant to be played as loud as possible, an album that is filled with clever lyrics, a clear nihilistic view of the world, and pounding instrumentals. Thoughtless Cruelty is described as “a stark observation of human cruelty filtered through the band’s grim fascinations including long term nuclear warnings” something that becomes obvious when listening to vocalist Freddy Vinehill-Cliffe. It’s 32 minutes of an interesting take on noise rock with a sense of humor.	*	1:24:02 (Pop-up)
Stuck	Labour Leisure "Labour Leisure" by "Stuck"	Labour Leisure Single	Exploding In Sound	2021	Fun is work. Work is "fun". No it's not. This one goes out to all the workers out there for a belated May Day. “Labor Leisure” is about the dissolving boundaries between work life and home life. As we are constantly reminded about how we can optimize our productivity, our diet, our free time etc, we internalize that “hustle mindset” and it negatively reflects in our personal lives. Often it can make what we do for fun feel like a task. Just remember kids, your worth is not measured by your productivity....		1:27:42 (Pop-up)
Sports Team	Here's The Thing "Here's The Thing" by "Sports Team"	Deep Down Happy	Bright Antenna Records	2020	London-based rock band Sports Team are best known for their unwavering assessment of British society, but their lyrical insights apply far and wide. “Here’s the Thing” is a cathartic explosion of disillusionment, complete with wailing horns and guitars. It tackles the competitive mindset of capitalism (“If you’re in bed then someone else is catching worms”) and unrealistic fad dieting (“If you just change the way you eat you’ll never die.”) Listening to it briefly punctures the low hum of existential stress that has settled in my brain. These are, as I hate to remind you, unprecedented times, and the dissonance between the more mundane aspects of life and the overarching issues we are facing can be dramatic.		1:30:15 (Pop-up)
The Clockworks	Enough Is Never Enough	Enough Is Never Enough	Creation 23	2020	With a penchant for matching snarling kitchen-sink commentary with insuppressible sonic tenacity, the time is surely now for The Clockworks. Formed in Galway and drawn together by a mutual appreciation of post-punk’s darkest corners, The Clockworks are a four-piece comprising James McGregor on Vocals/Guitar, Sean Connelly on Guitar, Damian Greaney on Drums and Tom Freeman on bass. The song follows the lives of separate but interconnected individuals in society: from a bigoted Café owner to beleagured kitchen porters, dreaming buskers to down-and-out beggars. Pulling together the fragments of our fractured society, “Enough Is Never Enough” creates a vivid collage that depicts its failings in one painstaking picture.		1:33:08 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Forever Pavot	Roller "Roller" by "Forever Pavot"	Babysitter OST	Phase4 Productions	2022	Babysitter is a French Canadian film. The movie is based on the 2017 play by Catherine Léger and follows a man who loses his job after a sexist joke he makes goes viral on social media and – together with his girfriend – hires a mysterious and liberated babysitter to help shake things up. Forever Pavot make amazingly dreamy, wonderful, music that are perfectly suited to soundtracks, and seem to have picked up where AIR left off...		1:35:55 (Pop-up)
New Chance	Two Pictures "Two Pictures" by "New Chance"	Real Time	We Are Time	2021	"New Chance is an electronic music producer and vocalist from Toronto. Recent projects include a collaboration with reggae legend Willi Williams, and the musical duo, Nice Hands, with poet Aisha Sasha John. She sings backup with Chandra and with Jennifer Castle’s Angels of Death." New Chance Bandcamp		1:46:59 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Arianne Churchman & Benedict Drew	The Branched Body to a Maypole	May	Thanet Tape Centre	2020	Trad. (Additional lyrics and arrangement by Arianne Churchman and Benedict Drew) https://thanettapecentre.bandcamp.com/album/may		1:47:11 (Pop-up)
Dirty Beaches	True Blue "True Blue" by "Dirty Beaches"	Badlands	ZOO Music	2010	Alex Zhang Hungtai (born September 4, 1980 in Taipei) is a Taiwanese-born Canadian musician and actor. In addition to his given name, he makes music under the names Last Lizard and Dirty Beaches. Zhang released several EPs and three albums as Dirty Beaches on cassette-only labels before releasing his fourth full-length, Badlands, in March 2011.Badlands, unlike Zhang's earlier work, included his vocals on most songs. The album was long listed as a nominee for the 2011 Polaris Music Prize.		1:55:23 (Pop-up)
Fontaines D.C.	Roman Holiday "Roman Holiday" by "Fontaines D.C."	Skinty Fia	Partisan Records	2022	Hailed as the "BEST BAND IN THE WORLD" by the UK press is a heavy burden to carry. But they are up to the challenge. They have transcended the post punk ghetto to reinvent themselves, which is a welcome thing to witness. On the band’s third album in four years, Skinty Fia, Fontaines D.C. detail what it’s like to be the boys in a not-so-better land, as Irish expats who may share the same skin tone and speak the same language as England’s dominant culture, but who are instantly singled out the moment their accents are revealed in mixed company. Named for an arcane Irish slur that translates to “damnation of the deer”—which, for Fontaines’ purposes, functions as a vivid metaphor of cultural mutation and degradation—Skinty Fia is a record about living in a place that looks like home but doesn’t feel like it.	*	1:58:13 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Sounds of the Ocean	Beach Sounds "Beach Sounds" by "Sounds of the Ocean"	Ocean Sounds	Sounds Of The Ocean	2016			2:02:33 (Pop-up)

	8:00pm Rich in Washington: Hi Babs N' Derek! I'll be listening but probably won't be near a keyboard (unless I try commenting via the (cr)App.)
	8:01pm Alli B: Hi guys!
	8:04pm Mr Fab: Hey all! This out-Residents The Residents.
	8:04pm DJ Babs: lol hi guys we hope you enjoyed our vaccuum solo there.
	8:04pm Alli B: Hahaha! 💨
	8:05pm DJ Babs: hello Rich!
	8:05pm Mr Fab: Is it available anywhere?
	8:05pm DJ Babs: Hello Fab and Alli!!!!
	8:06pm DJ Babs: We're starting with a bit of Toronna
	8:07pm DJ Babs: literally this song is like someone wrote a song about us, LOL
	8:07pm Zipperhead7: Hi Babs, Derek and Beach bunnies! This sounds a bit like Johnny Cash backed by the Velvets
	8:07pm DJ Babs: Our vaccum solo? We just bought it yesterday. It's the one pictured in our artwork this week. We got it at canadian tire, baby!
	8:08pm DJ Babs: Hello Zipperhead. Yes, also you can sing Heroes by Bowie over this song too!
	8:08pm Mr Fab: Zipperhead7, ha, yeah was just gonna say: rather Lou Reed/VU, this.
	8:09pm DJ Babs: now when Derek starts talking too long in the announcements I'll just fire up the vaccum, lol
	🏝 8:11pm Scott67: G'day Babs, Derek & Beachers! ☕😎🤙🌞🌏⛱️🌊
	8:21pm Alli B: 🔥🔥🔥
	8:22pm DJ Babs: Hellooooo Scott! Nice to see ya buddy!
	8:23pm DJ Babs: T'is trooo this song is the shiiiiiiiiit
	8:29pm DJ Babs: Happy Cinco De Mayo!!!
	8:32pm Zipperhead7: Wow first time I've heard this!
	8:33pm DJ Babs: This version of Stop That Train? It's a good one!!!!
	8:33pm Derek Westerholm: Hi there Rich, Alli, Fab, Zipperhead, Scott; hello hello hello!!! So happy to see you all here!
	8:39pm Derek Westerholm: That song off the top, Whitney K, crazy how Lou Reed he sounds, for sure. As Babs mentioned, seems to be a heavy "Heroes" homage going on there, too; but he mentions the exact streetcar/neighbourhood that we inhabit. It was weird devising a theme (things in the mail) and then getting a package from England the next day w/ this song & artist we'd never heard of prior, singing about Toronto, Parkdale & mentioning a couple of things that were actually happening in our lives this week. Sometimes life is weird like that. I also like that he is from Montreal (not Toronto) and on "Maple Death" records. Haha.
	8:40pm Alli B: Oof 🔥🔥🔥
	8:53pm DJ Babs: This version makes me SO HAPPY!
	8:54pm Mr Fab: Whooah, never thought that this would get an official release! This was a bootleg I had on cassette back in the day. It was called "Dub The Casbah." The audio fidelity is certainly better than my old copy, haha.
	8:55pm Zipperhead7: Never heard this before either, though I have the Rat Patrol from Fort Bragg outtakes
	🏝 8:55pm Scott67: I like it! 😎🤙
	8:56pm DJ Babs: I AM SO STOKED . The B side is Ranking Roger on Red Angel Dragnet another one of my very favourites. You can pre order it on Rough Trade. I didn't even wait for it to hit the shops I'm not taking any chances!
	9:01pm DJ Nico: Hola!
	9:02pm DJ Babs: Hi Nico!!! Thank you for joining us tonight!!!
	9:02pm DJ Babs: Looking forward to seeing you at With It on Saturday...we'll have a great party for your anniversary!!!
	9:06pm DJ Babs: I love it when the young'uns learn that the hook for this tune is a Clash song. :-)
	9:07pm Alli B: TOO BUSY DANCING TO DIE AT EVERY SONG 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
	9:08pm DJ Babs: that's awesome! This is a great remix. I love James Murphy remixes...

	9:21pm DJ Babs: Hi Andres! Yes! Rock the Casbah indeed did change my lyfe! And no leafs chat yet but we're up for it!!! That first game was banans!!!
	9:21pm Derek Westerholm: Andres, Leafs chat is possible, but generally I sideline that outside my music spheres, haha. But yeah, how 'bout them Leafs, huh?
	9:22pm Andres: Kristine, head to Donut Monster to ease the adjustment.
	9:23pm Andres: We need the Babs and Derek simulcast commentary for the full Leafs rundown!
	🏝 9:23pm Kristine: they good? one day i will try em
	9:23pm Mr Fab: ooh, very Suicide.
	9:24pm DJ Babs: This tune is so awesome. I am very much into this band....
	9:24pm DJ Babs: Andres you do NOT want our hockey commentary LOL. It's mostly me slagging Nylander
	9:25pm Mr Fab: btw, if you only know Suicide's first two, you don't know em! Their later three albums have a slightly more higher-tech sound, like that Psychic Graveyard track actually. Recommended!
	9:25pm DJ Babs: This band THANK is also freakin great. they have another song called "Good Boy" that crushes.
	9:25pm Andres: Kristine, the best apple fritter! The Hamont is my other fave, like a Boston Cream but better.
	9:27pm Andres: Babs, slagging Nylander sounds about right.
	🏝 9:28pm Kristine: ooh boy, i love a good apple fritter.
	9:29pm DJ Babs: same! There was a bakery in Cobourg called the Dutch Oven that made theeee best Fritters. Also my oma's apple fritters were the bomb!
	🏝 9:31pm Kristine: makes me think of donuts from Tims of yore, we would always get a bakers dozen. i must go to this place now.
	9:35pm DJ Babs: i miss donuts. I can't even remember the last time I had one!!!
	9:38pm Alli B: There’s a tiny little walk up cafe around the corner called The Sovereign and they have KILLER old school apple fritters with the super crispy edges. Unfhhhh. I wish I’d never seen them.
	9:43pm Andres: Alli B: On Oakwood? How’s the coffee? My fave, I Deal, in Kensington closed.
	9:44pm Tyler: Howdy Beachcombers!
	9:45pm Tyler: It's quite a trek. but San Remo has some of the best donuts & apple fritters I've had. They also have awesome panini and i Italian food.
	9:45pm DJ Babs: Hello Tyler! Welcome!
	9:46pm Tyler: Hi Babs! Thanks!
	9:48pm Alli B: I’ve only tried the double Americano but it’s absolutely delicious!
	9:48pm Alli B: Oops and yes it’s right on the corner of Davenport and Oakwood
	9:49pm Tyler: @Andres The Oakwood Cafe also has excellent coffee.
	9:50pm Andres: Appreciating the donut and coffee tips!
	9:51pm Tyler: @Babs and/or Derek this sounds like some of the stuff on the Ghostbox label.
	9:51pm Zipperhead7: A great show, folks. So many wonderful new discoveries! Thanks!
	9:52pm Derek Westerholm: Tyler, yes, I thought so too! Reminds me of the Broadcast collabs w/ Ghostbox... This came in the mail on Tuesday (second Uncut we received this week)
	9:53pm Alli B: Tyler I couldn’t find Oakwood Cafe when I googled it. Is it Oakwood Hardware?
	9:53pm Tyler: @Derek - cheers! Do you like The Microphones?

	9:59pm Tyler: No worries, Ali. Besides great coffee they have some pretty delicious Amaretti. It's ok if you call me Tyger, but call me Tiger and I'll be offended :)
	9:59pm Derek Westerholm: Tyler, (re: The Microphones), never really got too deeply into them. (Or the related projects.) That being said, I like what I heard. I believe I have one of their key albums kicking around, but I rescued it while doing some cleanup work for someone, so it isn't the best playing copy. I'll re-investigate and see if it doesn't ruin our sylus, haha. Do you recommend their/his stuff?
	10:00pm Alli B: Can’t wait to try it! Cheers, Tyger! 🐅
	10:01pm Richington: Thanks Babs n' Derek! Lovely show this evening! :)
	10:01pm Derek Westerholm: Kristine, I hope the Hammer treats you well. Curious to hear how your summer there goes. I am very fond of Hamilton, truth be told; though I know it can be a pretty tough city.
	10:01pm Tyler: @Babs The Microphones is basically one guy with a wide revolving door of collaborators that makes very woodsy, atmospheric music. I saw him play solo at the Great Hall, busk his own merch table and was looking for a place to stay for the night. He got the audience at the Great Hall to sing the harmonies which was quite moving and haunting since The Great Hall is a former church.
	10:02pm DJ Babs: oh wow that sounds super cool!!!
	🏝 10:02pm Scott67: Thanks Babs & Derek, great stuff guys!! 🍻😎🤙❤️❤️
	10:02pm Tyler: @Alli hope you like it. Tell Tony I sent you (gotta make my comish) :)
	10:03pm Derek Westerholm: Phil Elverum = The Microphones, Mt. Eerie etc. Good call... Will listen more
	10:03pm Tyler: Some of The Microphones album covers are recycled covers from other records turned inside out and hand drawn.
	10:04pm Derek Westerholm: Woah, Tyler, thanks again for all your rich comments. Always learn so much from you!
	10:05pm Tyler: Thanks Babs & Derek. Glad I caught the end. Had to run out for a Mother's Day gift, but enjoyed what I heard & will listen to the rest later.
	10:05pm Tyler: Hope you all have a great night! Thanks!
	10:06pm Derek Westerholm: Thanks everyone! Hope you all have a great night, too! So lovely to see you all here.
	10:06pm DJ Babs: Take care everyone! We will see you all next week! You're the best!
