Hey everybody!

This is our last show for January. Can't believe we got through this month in one piece and have had loads of interesting new music to boot!

Well, here it is, this week's playlist. There is a set from some very talented Canadian artists who will be in Toronto performing together in February. And of course there are some others who are new to me as well as the old favs.

There's even some, dare I say it, disco!

Enjoy

Hey everybody!

OMG it's Friday the 13th. Are you superstitious? I could do the obvious and play some Stevie Wonder tonight but really? Given all that has gone on in the world, who's afraid of a little old number. Just remember not to go under a ladder or let a black cat cross in front of you, and hey! it's all good.

So here is the decidedly non spooky playlist. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did putting it together.

Goodbye ... Eddie Vedder
Ascending ... Jupiter Hollow *
Not Be Alright ... Mary Margaret O'Hara *
Monkeys Uptown ... Iron and Wine (won't lie, loved Kiss Each Other Clean LP)
Bird On a Ladder ... The Soles (also loved Anodos Kathodos) *
Just The Same  But Brand New ... St. Vincent
Coming On Strong ... Jane's Party *
Breaking It Up ... Lykke Li
Cabin Fever ... The Sulks *
Agent Zero ... Arkells *
Reindeer (cover of The Knife) ... Lily Fawn * (will play more by her and Hank Pine next week)
Needles In The Camel's Eye ... Brian Eno
More Than Friends ... Secret Broadcast *
X Ray Cat ... SkyBurnsRed

Ambitious? Hells ya.

Thanks for listening. Be safe out there.

Hey everybody

Here it is just over a week away from Christmas. I still have resisted the temptation to play all holiday music although there are three tracks covering Winter (for Yule), Hanukkah and Christmas.

I'm warning you now, next week all bets are off.

Anywho, hope you enjoy the list this week. Gotta run, more stuff to do. Honestly, it's not like there aren't over 11 months to do all of this and frankly it's not a surprise that the season is upon us. But you know how things go...

I Just Can't Wait Until Christmas Time ... James Collins *
San Francisco ...Brian Wilson and Van Dyke Parks (for Greg, Suzanne and Brandon. Cheers!)
Yesterday Was A Good Day for Friendship ...Lucidalabrador *
Home By The Sea ... Genesis
Sooner Than Soon ... The Paupers *
Keep The Dog Quiet ... Owen Pallett *
Electric Company ... Orchestra of Spheres
Let There Be More Light Full ... Melissa Manchester
Father Winter (In His Heart of Gloom) ... Pacific Gold
My Fear of Animals ... Amos The Transparent *
Fix The Hearts of The Hollow ... Organ Thieves *
Hades Heart ... Jupiter Hollow *
Lunar Express ... Outliars

Thanks for listening. See you on the 23rd. And again BIG THANKS to everyone who supported the station in the last drive. Your cards and special treats will be sent out just after Xmas.
