This Just In...Ruby Slippers

It's the band that keeps on giving.

Here's their commemorative poster, by none other than Mickey Valenz, drummer, visual and spoken word artist, and bon vivant.

That's 6 pm their time, 7 pm our time.  (Curse that trans Canada time shift!)

Later, gators.

Septembryo's Picks

Hey everybody,

What do bands listen to when they aren't doing their own music?

Two weeks ago, we heard from Elise Epp, and her interesting selections, including Kate Bush, Owen Pallett, Petty Victories and Sidney York.

For this week's show, Mickey Valenz and Michael 8 picked a very different collection, some of which  will be played right after the interview.

Here is the full list.

Closer to the Edge...30 Seconds to Mars

Calls to Arms...Angels and Airwaves

Time is Running Out...Muse ***

1983...Neon Trees

Digital Sea...Thrice

Keep Your Teeth Sharp...Mr. Fogg

Sic Transit Gloria...Brand New

Reset...MUTEMATH

Professional Griefers...deadmau5

Jenny Was A Friend of Mine...The Killers

Midnight City...M83

23...Jimmy Eat World

Beating Heart Baby...Heat Automatica

Say It Ain't So...Weezer  (I personally love this one)

Paralyzed...The Used ***

Miami...Taking Back Sunday

Interesting! (The two with the *** are the ones on the show)

Enjoy.

Ruby Slippers for April 26 7-8 pm

Hey everybody!

I am really excited to tell you that finally, after all the missteps and waiting, the interview with Michael 8 from the Calgary band, Septembryo, is happening!  Lots of questions, lots of answers and things left to think about.  ALSO, two brand spankin' new cuts from the upcoming album, "iBelieve". You heard them here first!

Anyhow, this is the playlist for tomorrow (a bit later than normal, I will grant you, but I was waiting on the final say from the band) and of course, with live radio, I will not know how much time we have until we have it.  Or don't have it, as the case may be.

Will play as much as possible, but what isn't played tomorrow, will no doubt appear in a week or two.

Here goes

Song for Zula...Phosphorescent

I Want to Believe (X Files Cover)...Septembryo  (available as a free download on their website)

(Interview part one)

iBelieve....Septembryo (new cut)

(Interview part two)

Alarm Clock...Septembryo (new cut)

(Possibly a part three?)

Time is Running Out...Muse (Septembryo's pick)

Paralyzed...The Used (Septembryo's pick)

Night Jogger...Those Darlins

Deadbeat...Lightning Love

The Hiding Place...Sanctification parade

or follow them on Twitter @Septembryo

And hey, after all this fun, you could just head over to the Rivoli to hear another great artist Jon Davis.

My Pre-Membership Drive Gift to You

Hey everybody,

While hanging around the dining room table with one of my favorite people in the world, I was introduced to these mashups.  Now, you may have already heard this one:

but have you heard this one?

Hope to see you there, and as always thanks for listening!

SPRING MEMBERSHIP DRIVE  in Two weeks!  Please donate to this program by going to www.ciut.fm

SPRING MEMBERSHIP DRIVE, Fellow Babies!!!!!

Hey everybody,

Don't worry, the week's playlist is coming in the next day or so, but I just wanted to remind y'all that our membership drive is coming up the week of April 15.  CIUT depends so much on support from the community, not only financially but also to show the licence powers-that-be that community radio continues to be a vital part of society  for music lovers, and also for those interested in spoken word programming that would otherwise never be aired.

So....call in to the station during the week of the drive (during Ruby Slippers would be amazing) or donate online at www.ciut.fm. And remember to say that Ruby Slippers sent ya.

I personally will be manning the phones throughout the week, and would love to connect with you, the listeners.

Much love, and thanks for listening!
