Hey hey everybody!

It is Indie Week and boy is there a lot of stuff going on. Frankly my head is in a spin and I only went out to two events. Just to let you know, CIUT is sponsoring a show at the Horseshoe called Taste of Iceland on Saturday and it's free, but you will have to get a ticket online.
https://www.ticketfly.com/event/1574115-taste-iceland-in-toronto-toronto/
Hurry as this event fills up very quickly!

Anyhow, the playlist this week includes a good number of artists from Indie Week and also some indie artists who are not part of the festival. You may notice there is more metal than I normally include. Was a judge at Cherry Cola's and the showcase was, you guessed it, metal. Pretty intense and impressive! Had to share some of that with you this time around. (Always invest in good hearing protection, it's so worth it)

Enjoy

Brother ... Grown Up Avenger Stuff  (Indie Week)
Irresistible ... Velvet Supersloths * (Indie Week)
Plastic Gold ... Fufanu (Indie Week) (Taste of Iceland showcase)

Hey everybody!

Thanks so much for your support during the membership week and the show.

I am sorry to say that Bestival has pulled out of Toronto this year as well as a number of other music festivals simply because of funding. HOWEVER, we here at the station will continue to fly the music flag each and every week. Toronto IS a music city and we will never forget that.

Never, ever.

So here goes.

Electric Avenue (Eddie Grant cover) ... Woodhands * (never gets old)
You Get What You Give ... New Radicals (a thank you to our supporters)
Wicket Youth ... Sego
Golden Years ... The Russian Futurists *

Hijacked ... Run With the Kittens *

Notice all the Cancon (*) We got it going on, baby!

Thanks for listening

Hey everybody,

In a few days it will be another year gone by and Valentine's Day will be upon us.

This is a day not only for acknowledging that special person (or persons) in our lives but also to remember that in the big picture, there is enough love for everybody.

I am lucky to have a special guest host tonight, Mark Tara, host of Rainbow Country here on CIUT.
He is a musician, radio celeb, all around lovely person and I suspect an incurable romantic.

Mark's songs (with interview clips, bonus!):  *** Played all of these ***
Lorraine Segato...Rise Up *
Carole Pope ... High School Confidential *
Ashley MacIsaac ... Hubert's Story *
Roberta Flack ... The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

Carol B's songs:
Sugar, Sugar ... The Archies (from Greg to Suzy) 
Infinite Love without Fulfillment ... Grimes* 
Lullaby Love ... Justin Timberlake vs. The Cure
What You Call Love Is A Lie ... The High Dials *
Love and a 45 ... Eve Hell and the Razors * Played
Tainted Love ... My Brightest Diamond Played
Love Myself ... parker Bombshell * Played
How Can I Ease The Pain ... Lisa Fischer
Torch Song ... Todd Rundgren (my heart song always) (hankie please

Remember to tell those who matter that you love them.
