Testing For Echo – Episode 19 – Another Home Run – Orig. Air Date March 4, 2023

Posted on by Posted in General, Testing For Echo

Hello everyone.

Welcome to Episode 19 of Testing For Echo on CHSR 97.9 in Fredericton and around the world. I’m your host Tim Scammell.

It’s my feeling that the best episodes are the ones that go all over the place and keep listeners guessing.

Sure, I’m talking about the heavy/light mix but also the mix of eras.

In this episode I have everything from the 1970’s right up to the present.

I understand that this is impossible, but if you could get all of these bands together to play a festival it would be a home run.

Just press that little arrow down the left of the page to listen/download the podcast. 

Take good care and enjoy!

Tim

RFYL Episode – RipplesEP247

Run For Your Life! – the psychobilly rock show of zombie sharks
I’ve reconnected with a few people recently and I had to wonder what changed – and honestly, I think the thing that hasn’t changed at all is me. I am a fixed point in time, and it’s weird to say it, but I think I’m content with the direction of the show and the content I provide.

I stopped doing this in ways I didn’t enjoy a long time ago, and occasionally it can be a struggle to set up a playlist. That being said, there’s not much of a better feeling than turning my headset up loud and blasting some tunes. So, without further ado, here’s what I was listening to this week:

Playlist:
Starting Again – The JB Conspiracy (Beginnings)
Only Once – The Joy Formidable (Into The Blue)
I Lose Whatever I Own – Blood Red Shoes (Ghosts on Tape)
Dark Matter – Kilmore (Call of the Void)
Violent Nature – Woodhawk (Violent Nature)
Hold On – We Hunt Buffalo (Living Ghosts)
Momentuous (ft Percival) – Osyron (Momentuous)
Dead Skies – A Primitive Evolution (Becoming)
Faster Than Light – Unleash the Archers (Abyss)
You’ve Stolen The Words – Sergeant Thunderhoof (This Sceptred Veil)

Run For Your Life! – the psychobilly rock show of zombie sharks
It’s a holiday weekend! We somehow made it here, and I decided to theme my show entirely off of something entirely unrelated, because making an episode all about Family (or I guess, not-Family considering the history of this show and how I’ve twisted everything) would go sideways. So here we are, another week of tunes being thrown at you – the bonus being that I finally followed up on a few bands I’ve spun in the past and found out I did, in fact, miss some releases.

Enjoy! Or don’t! I’m not your boss!

Playlist:
Livin’ The Dream – The Dyadics (The Dyadics)
Heavy Is the Reason – The Standstills (Shockwave)
Secret – Fit For Rivals (Single)
Pressure – Cory Hotline (Self-Titled)
It Don’t Seem Right – Public Animal (Palace Arms)
Like A Ghost – Ian Blurton’s Future Now (Second Skin)
Sands of Time – Sandveiss (Saboteur)
Space Blanket – Puta Volcano (AMMA)
Soothsayer – Ruby The Hatchet (Fear is a Cruel Master)
The Deafening / Beyond The Sun – Osyron (Momentous)
Self Betrayer – Worst Part (Single)
The Wind that Shapes the Land – Unleash the Archers (Abyss)

After the miserable coldsnap, it’s important to realize a few things that we often take for granted.

So here we are, another music-filled episode to get you to your weekend or wherever you are when you happen to snag this podcast. It’s free, just download it. Or don’t.

Playlist:
Animal – The Pack AD (Do Not Engage)
Broken Spirit – Bella Clava (Medicine for Melancholy)
Heart of Darkness – Ruby Bones (Ruby Bones)
