Ruby Slippers for December 18 7-8 pm

Hey everybody!

HO HO HO!!! and a MERRY MERRY too!!!

This is the Christmas show playlist. As is often the case at CIUT we go to a fill in/prerecorded format on December 25 to give all the programmers a chance to spend time with family and friends.

Hence the Xmas Xtravaganza a week in advance.

There are old favorites from years gone by (who hasn't experienced Present Face first hand?), wishful thinking (First Snow Of The Year) , insane novelty songs to make you laugh in the midst of a tinsel explosion and eggnog overload and of course if time permits WHAM!!!!!!!

Of course there is also new music from here and there and everywhere.

Hope this adds to your merriment and as they say in the funny papers (?) see you next year!**

And as always, thanks for listening

Ruby Slippers December 4 7-8 pm

Hey everybody!

It's the month of DECEMBER and I have gone from "Oh there's loads of time to get ready for the holiday" to "IT'S AROUND THE CORNER!!!"  Much panic ensuing. Far too many lists and Post Its all over the place. Not to mention intensified carb loading and eggnog...

Ruby Slippers November 27 7-8 pm

Hey everybody!

Wow. I don't know about you but I am afraid to turn on the news these days.
Thankfully times like this bring out the best in many and with that optimism and willingness to help comes inspiration for others.

Hope this week's playlist can be part of that inspiration. The Foo Fighters' cut is from a free EP in honour of the tragedy in Paris.  Menage's "Our Time is Now" is an anthem not just for a personal journey but for mankind to step forward and help those who are in need. And I think Greg Clarke's "Peace On Earth" kinda says it all.

Thanks for listening.

The Neverending Sigh ... Foo Fighters
I Lied ... Gobotron
Rowdy Jackson ... Filthy Haanz *
Shouting To The Grave ... Green Rays *
Must Be Imagining ... Green Palm Radiation *
Chit Cat ... Hannah Georgas *

Watcher ... Tim Ray and the Druts *

Our Time Is Now ... Menage *
Hannah ... Freelance Whales
Radio ... Steve Hillage (one of these days I am going to play the whole thing)

Membership Drive Fall/Winter

Hey everybody!

If you were listening last Friday, I did find my specs (at home where I had put them somewhere safe and in plain view, duh) and I will be heading into the station this evening to man the phones for

The Taylor Report.

The membership drive which happens twice a year is an important part of the funding model for this station. Community radio doesn't have the backing of big corporations. It depends on student support and listeners like YOU.

Please consider giving to this, the only community station on the dial in the GTA.

All donations ensure good karma and together we will remain strong and independent.

Together we are The Sound Of Your City.

Ruby Slippers August 14 7-8 pm

Hey everybody,

Ever have one of those weeks where every time you think you are done something, you go back and change it?  For some reason it never really seems finished? Well, that was this week's playlist, and to be honest, I am still not really really 110% sure this is it.

Ruby Slippers July 24 7-8 pm Hillside Edition

Hey everybody!

As you know if you have been following this show for a while, Hillside is, at least for me, the tiny perfect music festival. Reusable plates and utensils, refillable water bottles, healthy food, organic beer, and a delightful roster of performers in a small beautiful conservation area with a lake to swim in when the sun is hot.

Ah, yes. This year was not to be for me. But it didn't stop me from putting together a taste of the lineup from this year's edition of Hillside.

There are some kinda surprising choices here, and some of the gentle folk you would expect from an event in the country.

So kick back, get comfortable and feel the peace.

Past The Stars ... By Divine Right *

Nighttime/Anytime ... The Constantines *

When She Arrived...Thus Owls *

Little Hand ... Braids *

Once a Day (ft. Sonna Rae) ... Michael Franti and Spearhead

Wrecking Ball ... The Galacticats *

New Believers ... Minotaurs *

Electric ... TEEN

The West Wind ... Ryley Walker

Hands In Dirty Ground ... Great Lake Swimmers *

Bluebird ... Doug Paisley *

Nathan Phillips Square ... Secret Heights (Terra Lightfoot) *

Everything I Saw ... The Weather Station *

Loose Heart = Loose Plan ... Moonface *

If we can't be there, this is the next best thing.

Thanks for listening.

Guilty pleasure this week. Went to see a stadium rock show (Tesla, Styx and Def Leppard) with a whole mess of really enthusiastic folks. Gotta do that once in a while, right?
