Hey hey everybody.

Very busy show tonight. Ace of Wands is back from their tour of western Canada and is returning to the airwaves with musical picks from their album "Lioness" and from bands they have played with as well.
Also of note...upcoming gig with Lowest of the Low. New track from that amazing band as well!

Then...it's that time of month again. Yessiree, No Pants Record Store Shopping on Twitter with Nikki from the middle east (formerly podcaster with Everything and the Kitchen Sink). This capsule curated playlist within a playlist is a warm up to her Twitter event tomorrow. Follow @IsGlobalAGoGo and every hour there will be another band with the hyperlink for your listening and purchasing pleasure.

Between the two elements of the show tonight, there will be no excuses that you haven't heard anything new and exciting in the last while!
