Ruby Slippers Radio Nov 17 Fall Membership show 7-8 pm

 

 Hey hey everybody

Here we all are again, the fall membership show! 

There are thrills, chills, surprises and nutty music to boot.

Part of this glorious hot mess is because of my cohost, Melanie. At this time I thought it might be interesting for you to hear how we came to be a dynamic radio duo.

During COVID, Melanie and a music penpal in Kitchener challenged each other to pick an artist and get them played on a local radio station in their country. Melanie was able to persuade a station in Unna, Germany, to play Dizzy, but her Canadian counterpart could not find anyone to play the Snooks. (Honestly, don't ask a commercial station to do anything)

So...Melanie looked for a college/community radio station in the general area of Kitchener. She found CFRU (my first station) and Ruby Slippers' sister show, Through The Looking Glass. She contacted me and the rest is history! That is the power of music and community radio!

By the way, Melanie and her partner came to Canada two summers ago and saw the CIUT studios. 

One of the artists who played live on the station during the membership drive was none other than Jerry Leger, a Toronto native who performed in Germany and met up with Melanie for interviews for CIUT not once but TWICE! We are truly a global phemon!

So, on with the show....

Hammer In My Heart ... Utopia

Hey Kid (You Got Soul) ... Lowest of the Low *

Stiff Competition ... Danko Jones *

Sky's Not Falling Down ... Trash Humanica ( and a word by Melanie)

Everybody Wants to Rule the World ... Ninja Sex Party

Weekend in Toast's ... Sugarfungus *

Belly Up ... Al Grantham *

Discovery ... Dream Aria *

Church ... Christian and the Sinners *

Shadowplay ... Dead Souls *

As for the rabbit hole in the room....

Yes, I did get stuck on the theme from "The Last Unicorn" (will admit to shedding a bucketload of tears actually) and there are loads of good covers, just none of them that I could find that were Canadian.

There are videos accredited to Loreena McKennitt which aren't (I think it's Declan singing, at least that is what the comments seem to think). Honestly, I think she would do a good job of it but alas, she has not done so.

Here is another one I think you would appreciate given the group that recorded it.

Ninja Sex Party from "Under the Covers"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uF1Q56YAo0Q 

There are also techno covers, folk covers and Kenny Loggins because of course he did (totally in his wheelhouse) from "Return to Pooh Corner"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0aW0UIogzc

Anyway, thanks for listening

See you next week.
