Until you find the way I always have I love covering down. I'm trying to get it. Stay away when the sun comes up. Now you need to know. See, I've been a bad, bad, bad, bad magic, and I'm in a deed. Yeah. I found a brand new love as many. And can't wait till you see.

SPEAKER_06 13:19

I can't wait.

unknown 13:21

See how you like that?

SPEAKER_06 13:23

How you like better?

unknown 13:25

How you like better? How you like better? How you like me now? How you like me now? How you like me now? How you like me now?

SPEAKER_09 13:38

Remember the time when I eat you elk. Yeah, I was alive. That you can't give up. If I was to cheat on now, would you see right through me? If I sing said, said, said, said so, would you give it to me? Would you?

unknown 14:13

So how you like me now? How you like me now?

SPEAKER_06 14:18

How you like me now?

unknown 14:20

How you like me now? How you like me now? How you like me now? How you like me now? Are you like me now?

SPEAKER_09 15:04

Make you make it make you a little bit. So let yourself go, let yourself go out. There's nothing to lose. Nothing. It's trying to fly. It's trying to fly. It's trying to fly. It's trying to fly.

SPEAKER_00 23:50

Uh, we gotta have a whiskey drinking woman! Well, make my favorite, uh, single malt scotch, actually. You know what? That's that's the biggest challenge of all. I learned to drink single maltescotch a few years ago, right before the pandemic. And uh let's put it this way, uh it clears your sinuses. And the interesting thing about single maltescotch is the more it tastes like soil, the better it is, I guess. So anyway, that's Nazareth! That was after 1975 album Hair of the Dog. And Whiskey Drinking Woman. Of course, that album is best known for their song Love Hurt, which became a head here in the US. In fact, a US year earlier this month, I didn't hear. Along with a drummer named Rudyro. Um a year after this album Time to Fly came out in the year 1999, and the song is Time to Fly. We started out with the heavy How You Like Me Now from The House Editor built in the year 2009, Drott of Math, England. That song was sung by the character Pigeon Cody in the animated film. So another piece of useless trivia for you this evening. You and I are listening to the very useful and world-famous ReadyKill the What Hour coming to you live from Radio Fairfax, a service of Fairfax Public Access in the mystical and wet Fairfax, Virginia. If you have any comments or requests, or just wanna love us, please follow our Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok pages. Or drop me a line at ReadyK Radio at gmail.com. That's R-E-D-D-Y-K-Radio. I am the unpredictable ReadyJ Kilowat. Mainly unpredictable because I don't follow the script. And it looks like we have even more Canadian music this evening. This is a band called Trucko Chiva. They're out of Montreal, Quebec.

A passion ranked and hollered dispatch with a single act. Mangled, tasteless, traded for complacence. Let's run around in the old little town, wagging the tail and chomping down. Immersed in bedlam state, emerges hellish wake. Evokes this constant pain and abershow. This time it's obvious the cognate stare of confidence in Kodak players compiled and shared. It strikes a rabba, cunning air, effigy, effigy.

SPEAKER_04 29:03

Sit still, stands tall, demands the weight, demands it. No conversation either at all. No signs of levity.

SPEAKER_07 29:16

Trust me, developing. I'm waiting. Yes, I'm waiting. No signs of levity. Trust me enveloping. I'm waiting for you. Yes, I'm waiting for you.

SPEAKER_09 37:17

Would you break your cloud? Would you be my companion? Is it even a crowd? You've been talking to us. I've been able to fly. Never telling me why. I'm going down for the last time. Woman with the sweet loving better than a white line. Don't you know she could bring a good feeling, ain't having such a long time. Save my life I'm going down for the last time.

A band from downstate Illinois. They recorded that album in South Pekin, Illinois. Uh, I've never been to North Pekin, so I have no idea how big that area is or how big that town is. I'm from Chicago originally. Pekin was uh I think there was a prison near there or something. I don't know. Anyway, three of the original members of that band were at the University of Illinois, while one of them was at Eastern Illinois University, and this was uh Teddy's debut record, Flat as a Pancake, was the name of the album. Never been Any Reason was the name of the song. It made it to number 68 on the Billboard charts. Roger Boyd is the only original member still around who's still in the band. They've had about 35 people on the band, uh, several of whom have passed away, I guess, over the last couple decades. Wow. It goes back a long, long ways. I remember that band from my college years. Before that's Black Keys, She Does It Right. Off their latest album, their 14th album, it's called Peaches, and it's an album containing a lot of cover tunes. She Does It Right is actually a song originally recorded by the British band Dr. Feelgood back in 1974. It was written by Wilco Johnson. Black Keys playing in Richmond on August 1st at the Allianz Amphitheater at Riverfront. We started off with Atsukoshima out of Montreal off their self-titled album. The song is Retention. You're listening to Ready Kill What Hour on Radio Fairfax. Yet another band out of Canada. This is a project of Grant Davidson out of Winnipeg. He calls himself Slow Leaves. The album is The Ruins of Things Unfinished. We're gonna hear Tired.

SPEAKER_06 43:00

Not to do the things that we get. Put your cards and then get out of it. Don't remember how bad it was last December. Another year was coming up. Another one's never known.

SPEAKER_09 48:22

I think we're missing the future and where we are. Stone gold ledge. Still afraid to touch.

unknown 48:37

The fame now so much. How could you know?

SPEAKER_09 48:49

I was a shot, I was talking to myself. I was a shadow, I was talking to myself. I was talking to myself.

SPEAKER_00 51:44

That's Let's Active. 1986, take him from Winston Hale in North Carolina, they were led by the former producer for REM, Mick Eather. Anyway, L A Y Emark. Goodbye. Goodbye to Jane, the woman TV host with the sex noise. And believe it or not, I kid you not, that song made it to number sixty-nine on the US chart. Yes, it's true. Anyway, on that rather lewd note, you want to look at the ready kilowatt hour for this week.com or on your favorite podcast app. We're back next week. Same time, same channel, same station. Next week, ReadyK Kilowatt, your rock and roll servant. Stay well, stay safe, and please don't kill anyone. Good night.
