Catwoman Radio Fill In for May 10

Hey everybody,
Our beloved daredevil, Catwoman, was caught in a trap, and couldn't escape in time to do the show this week.  Knowing her wily ways, though, I suspect she will be back with us raring to go next week.

However....when the cat's away, the mice will play, and I did!  Lots of familiar tunes, some not so much. A nod to surf, rockabilly, but mostly rock and punk and garage.

Hope your hearing wasn't affected too much.

Bad Reputation....Joan Jett and the Blackhearts
Love Myself Today...Bif Naked
Oriental Rock....The 5,6,7,8's  (Japanese rockabilly from the Kill Bill Soundtrack)
Smooth Criminal...Alien Ant Farm  (OK, so that one was for me)
Ghouls...Horror Pops  (Catwoman approved)
Come On...Headstones
Red Morning Light....Kings of Leon (who doesn't love dirty Southern rock?)
Shut Your Mouth...Garbage
It Only Takes One Night...Dum Dum Girls
All The Time...The Vivian Girls  (look up the origin of the name...awesome)
Skank...Tomboyfriend  (from Toronto and good friends of Jon Pressick from Sex City)
Car Song...Elastica
Hot Kitty...Tricky Woo
Time Flies...Joel Plaskett Emergency (from the album Ashtray Rock)
Price Paid...Wax Mannequin  (whoa...a little heavier than I thought....)
All Yr Songs...Diamond Rings

and what I thought was Arcade Fire, but was actually The Cult......forget the cut, sorry.

Gotta fly and revise the other list.

Thanks for listening.

I am currently listening to the CD's to be sure there are no glitches, and even at repeated plays, am still loving this week's playlist.

For those of you who donated to the station during our recent membership drive, a BIG THANKS, and an extra dollop of gratitude for those who also made those donations to Ruby Slippers.  There is a beer somewhere waiting for you, make no mistake.
