Hey everybody,

Well, will you look at that! MORE SNOW! I am shocked.
But despite the general funk around here, the show must go on, and I gotta say, the longer I worked on this list, the better I felt. Guess that's why music is like breathing, can't really exist without either one.

Ruby Slippers for Feb.28 7-8 pm

Hey everybody,

Weird collection this week, kind of at a loss to explain it. I do, however, have to thank Moondog Ballroom for sharing an awesome collection of rockabilly/psychobilly recordings, "Zombie Night In Canada 2". Had a lot of fun with that, gotta say.
And while we are on the subject of thanking folks, the Spectre Hearts are doing a gig at Hart House tomorrow, Feb. 27 so if you are looking at this before the show, check them out. So, as the song says:

Spread the Love ...Spectre Hearts *
Train ... The Brains *
Hellhound ... The Matadors *
I Need A Love Like That ... Nut Brown *
What I Do On Saturday ... Steve Burns
Get It Together... The Go! Team
Transmission (Live from BBC Recordings) ... Joy Division
Get Up And Smile ... The Flow
If It Is Love ... Kensington Market *
Where The Wild Things Are ...Max Galactic and the Cloud of Evil *
Grim Reaper of Love ... The Turtles
Graveyard (Feist cover) ... Elliott Brood *
It's Not Late, It's Early ... High Heels Lo Fi *
Behing The Wheel ...Depeche Mode
The End Of August ... Camouflage Nights *
All The Love In The World ... NIN
Are You OK? (new) ...Dum Dum Girls

That's it kids. See you next week.
And as always, thanks for listening.

Don't Often Do This But...

Hey everybody,

I seldom post events on this blog unless it has something to do with a festival.
But this is in my hometown, so had to mention it.

Will Black, a Canadian living and performing in Bermuda, for crying out loud, is going to be playing at the Moonshine Cafe on Kerr St in Oakville tonight at 8 pm. Although a rocker, his set will be acoustic and work making the trip! Have played his music on the show and had enthusiastic feedback!
http://www.willblack.com/homepage/

 He will be playing at the Central Friday Feb. 21 (tomorrow) same Bat-time.

As supporting Canadian talent is at the heart and soul of community radio, I always welcome suggestions of music  and notifications of performances.  There's so much talent in this country, let's work together to spread the love.

See you tomorrow at 7 pm live to air.

Over and out! ;)
