Ruby Slippers Jan 3 7-8 pm

Hey everybody,

It's a new year and with it a challenge to think about what the soundtrack to your life will be.  I put the question out there on the site "Radioflag" and an amazing DJ from WXUT in Toledo Ohio, Kayla CP, host and producer of the show "Radio Alchemy", came forward with Cat Power's "You Are Free" and Radiohead's "In Rainbows".  (Thanks so much Kayla!!!)

In the past I also would have chosen albums that were near and dear to my heart, but because of the diversity of the show, have elected to put forward a mixtape instead.* Of course, these things evolve from time to time (often week to week), but for now this is mine.

What would yours be?

Recover ... CHVRCHES (new)

New World Sympathy ... Slyde 

Black Corvair (Color Me Psycho cover) ... Chris Page

Heaven Or Las Vegas (cover: Cocteau Twins) ...Suzy Blu

Rollover DJ ... Jet (their influences are blatant, but this album makes me smile)

Bearer of Bad Nudes .... Panic

Odessa ... Caribou  (Swim is one of my soundtrack albums, if I had to pick that way)

Forgive ... Tourist

All Of You ... Peter Thomas

Heart of Stone ... The Ravonettes (another album pick In and Out of Control)

Gagged and Bound ... Broken Halo

Killed By Love ...  The Pursuit of Happiness  ( Maybe I COULD just pick albums...)(Love Junk)

I Wasn't Made For Fighting ... Woodhands

Too Young To Love ... The Big Pink

Strange ... New Love Army

Love Song ... The Cure  (just wrap myself up in the Cure)

My, music does say a lot about you, doesn't it?

What would YOUR soundtrack be?

Hope 2014 is all you would want it to be.

And, as always, thanks for listening.

* included some new cuts, because they are made an impression right off the bat and will be played and played until they aren't anymore! :)

Ruby Slippers for Dec. 27 7-8 pm

Hey everybody,

This playlist is a little odd, as it's not quite end of year, and not quite Christmas.  It's kind of an "in between days" collection of tunes. There are a few brand spankin' new, and of course a few old favorites, but any way you slice it, a chance to put your troubles behind you and follow the bouncing ball.

Next week, the best of Ruby Slippers for 2013. 

I'm Free.... Elektonique Storm Front (hope I got that right, thanks, Ron)

Rent ... Matt Mancid and Colour Theory

Somebody Loves You (Joywave remix) ...Betty Who

Release... The Bloody Five (by request)

A Trick With No Sleeve ... Alain Johannes et al

Rift Valley Fever ... Will Black (also by request)

Billy Jean ...Corey Glover and Phil Campbell  "Thriller": A Metal Tribute to Michael Jackson

I Should Watch TV ...David Byrne and St. Vincent

Saskatoon ... PS I Love You

Love The House You're In ...Moonface

The Man With The Child In His Eyes ... Kate Bush (by request)

Lighthouse ... Patrick Watson

Holly Hughes Dance Academy ... The Retrievers

Entre Chien Et Loup ... Republic of Letters

Blessings of the holiday season to one and all.

And as always, thanks for listening.

Ghosts in the Machine

Hey everybody,

For our listeners online, apparently there was a glitch on Friday at least for Catwoman and probably this show as well, where the Radio Punjab Feed was running throughout the course of the day.

If you want to catch this week's episodes of any show that was affected, the files will be uploaded to our archive on Monday, so I'm told.  Just go to www.ciut.fm, click on Schedule, then on the show you wish to hear, and on the latest show's mp3.

Didn't know that was happening...I do know the terrestrial feed was OK as there was a listener call in.

Many apologies for this. Won't happen again (I hope)

Don't forget to breathe this time of year!

Cheers

Carol B

Ruby Slippers for Dec. 6 7-8 pm

Hey everybody!

Wow!!!  Into December already! Despite that, though, it's still a little early for this girl to start playing the Jingle Cats and  Sing Along Messiah (only at home, have to admit to being more than a little tone deaf)

Anyway, I did include some dance worthy tunes to keep us all warm this week, and a few new offerings too. Afraid you'll just have to wait for the Christmas fare until later.... ;)

Here goes...

Telling Lies...David Bowie (that exhibit just keeps on inspiring me)

Heresy... NIN

Stupidly In Love (Acoustic)... The Dollyrots

Don't Lose Your Dinosaur ... Upset

X ... Xray Eyeballs

We Go Where We Know ... Vast Robot Armies

Wrapped Up In Books ... Belle & Sebastian

Bottom of the Lake ... We Are The City

Black Camera ... Wintersleep (winter on my mind)

True Blue ...Winter Gloves (warmth too)

Salt ... Windmills (thinking about ice)

Lux Lisbon ... Marriage

O Superheroin ... Flowers of Hell (Laurie Anderson/Lou Reed tribute)

Fast Fall... With Beating Hearts

Kind of like this one. Hope you do too.

And as always, thanks for listening.
