The Transmitter is dead. Long live the Transmitter!!! Ruby Slippers for April 11/14


Hey everybody,

Not only is this week our fundraising membership drive but last Sunday the transmitter was declared beyond repair. Sooo....all the money we raise will go into buying a new digital replacement. We are currently using a rental to replace the power amp that has been keeping the station on the dial in Toronto, and tomorrow, there ought to be about 60-70 % coverage of our usual broadcast range.
Good fix for now, but temporary and a fraction of the wattage we are licenced for.

This show is all about connecting with the listening audience and hopefully getting the support we need to make things right. To this end, the playlist this week is fun, loud and full of energy. (Don't I always say that?) Rock on! Dance your face off! And please make a donation to the cause.

Over The Rainbow ...Me First and the Gimme Gimmes  (did you know the Ramones covered this
                                             song too???)
Maybe Tomorrow (Littlest Hobo) ... Prince Colwyn *
Da Doo Ron Ron/I Wanna Be Sedated ... the Dollyrots
Ace Of Spades ... The Bloody Five *
Red Quarter ... PS I Love You *
John Drums ... Grids *
Your Friends My House ... Filthy Haanz *
What a Biddy Is ... Navy *
Blue is Red ... Jets  Overhead *
Polaroid ... The Diodes *
Young Limbs Numb Hymns ... Sexbeat
Strange Animal (Gowan Cover) ... The Acorn *
Rock and Roll Love Letter ... Gary and the Gripweeds
Ding Dong ... Klaus Nomi

This is the list I will be choosing from. Hang on to your teeth, it oughta be a wild ride.

And as always, thanks for listening.
