Ruby Slippers for Nov. 29 7-8 pm

Hey everybody,

The goofiness that is Toronto council seems to have calmed down somewhat, so the rest of us can get on with the important things in life. Like shoveling a little snow.  Or listening to music.
Maybe both.

So here is this week's playlist (out of a possible 40 cuts)  May have to change things a bit, but you know that's always the way things go on this show.

Hey everybody,

It's COLD today and to make things better, we need some music to move around by. You know, just get the blood pumping, and the body moving. (Beastie Boys didn't make the list, but there are all sorts of goodies that will accomplish just that.)

Here we go!

(You Will) Set The World On Fire ...David Bowie

Keep warm my friends.
And as always, thanks for listening.

Ruby Slippers for Nov. 15 7-8 pm

 Hey everybody,

 Politics are swirling around here in the T dot. Videos, press conferences, bobble heads, you name it!
Lately, never know what the deal will be when I turn on the radio in the morning.

 Despite that, however, the music must go on, and to that end, here's the list for this week's show.
Kick back, forget the nonsense, and enjoy.

Honest Liar...The Almighty Rhombus (Sudbury, Ontario) (No pun intended. Not)
Space Out... new EP from Cold Dead Hands
Your Heart Don't Know... Andrew Hunter and the Gatherers
Do It With A Rockstar...Amanda Palmer and the Grand Theft Orchestra
Bomb ...Band Of Skulls
The Man That Never Was...Rick Springfield et al from "Sound City" (soundtrack)
Atoms ...Fast Romantics
Heaven And All ...Black Rebel Motorcycle Club et al from "Sound City" (sdtk)

Cloud Full of Rocks ...Odds
I Will Wander ...The Features
Your Bed ...Cub
Grey Area Living ...Crystal Castles
Love Is Greed ... Passion Pit

Enter Sandman ...Pat Boone (wishful thinking)(we know there won't be time for this)

Let's have some fun, Toronto. Enough, already.

And as always, thanks for listening.
