Ruby Slippers for August 29th How do I choose?


Hey everybody!

Oh brother!
Whenever folks graciously agree to cohost, part of the deal is to pick music for the playlist.

Well.

I can't even begin to tell you how much MAKAR sent me, and frankly we could do at least 4 shows based on their incredible list. However, it's only an hour (sigh) AND there will be live performance in there too, so this is a list of what I have on hand to fill in between their chat and song making.

Not all of it will be played.  Notice the width and breadth of the choices!

Up the Bracket ... The Libertines
Born to Be Wild ... Steppenwolf *
Fading Into Obscurity ... Sloan *
Little Shadow ... Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Falling In Love Is For Young People ... Hoa Hoas *
Get Back  ... The Beatles

Half way through the month, and the sun actually shines once in a while.
Of course, it's shining pretty brightly INSIDE CIUT as the final preparations continue to launch the big bold sound of the new transmitter. Maybe even in time for this week's show.

Well...here's the playlist. Hope you hear it loud, proud and clear!

Gambit ... Double Exposure *
All Action Man ... The Coyote Men
Fight ... The Farrell Bros. *
