Ruby Slippers December 5 7-8 pm

Hey everybody!!

Crap! It's December, we can't fool ourselves into thinking it's fall anymore and man, is it cold in the morning. Don't know about you, but getting up isn't easy anymore (say wha??) and without coffee, Ibuprofen and multiple layers (have never figured out looking hot in cold weather) there is no day.

Then it struck me, if the music was really fast and furious and bop worthy, things might, just might, look better, at least until we all acclimate to the reality that is Canada in the winter. (It never takes long, it's just that first few days....) (Gawd do I sound old )

So what better way to do that than an almost all punk almost all the time playlist (Apologies to Patrick Watson)

Wave Goodbye ... Animal Confession *

Exercise 5 ... CFCF *

Lanterns ... I, Us & We (new from album Mono)

(I Wanna Go To) New York City ... Bloody Five *

Sheena Is a Punk Rocker .... The Screwed * (members of local punk scene in the 70's)

The Witch ... The Sonics (inspired by Sonic Highway series with Dave Grohl)

Bikini Girls with Machine Guns ... The Cramps

Safety cuts: (may not make this show)

Happy House.... Siouxie and the Banshees

Years ... Gdansk *

Museum ... Future Sound of London

Enough to get the circulation going? You're welcome.

And as always thanks for listening.

*Cancon, red and white, baby

Hey everybody,

Here it is, the last weekend of September. How time flies, right? 

Gotta say, between the summer weather during the day and the cold at night, most of us are not sure which way to turn.

So...we could all probably use an upbeat soundtrack as we muddle along confused but not bowed!
