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 *
We Got The Beat ... The Go Gos
Watcher ... The Greasemarks *
Watcher ... Tim Ray and the Druts *
Dying In Brooklyn ... PS I Love You *

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.

http://www.ciut.fm/

Thanks for listening.

Much love
Carol B
