Ruby Slippers October 7 2016 7-8 pm

Hey everybody!

It's Thanksgiving weekend and here we are together again! 

I have resisted the temptation to include nutsy songs about turkeys running for their lives and the joys of family gatherings to put together a varied and awesome (if I do say so myself) playlist befitting the occasion.

FYI the last track is by an amazing electronic artist, Robert T from his latest project available on Bandcamp. And a Canadian to boot!

Enjoy

Dead Honey ... Die Mannequin *

When Something Stands For Nothing ... Headstones *

Wastelands ... The Dead Love (new)

Undone (The Sweater Song) ... Weezer (it is fall after all)

Dreams (cover) ... The Kills

Eaten By A Bear ... deBra 666 * (camping on the long weekend)

Amadeus ... Bravestation *

Cheetah On Drugs ... Brother Octopus *

Saint Nothing ... Qristina and Quinn Bachand *

Sister of The Moon (cover) ... Craig Wedren & St. Vincent

Try Try Again ... The Rising Few *

The Less I Know The Better ... Tame Impala

Corona ... Robert T *

May you have a glorious and safe holiday

See you next week

Ruby Slippers September 30 7-8 pm Hello October!

Hey everybody!

So excited, the first leg of the fall is done, the nights are cooler and October is tomorrow with pumpkins, a reason to wear orange other than incarceration, and Halloween.

Here's tonight playlist. If you listened to Catwoman this week, you may have noticed a few artists made both shows. Couldn't decide between tracks and had two hours so there you go!

Enjoy

Golden Stereo ... Shattervox * (new)
Said I Could Be Happy ... Kensington Market * (in real life a magical place in the Tdot)
The Things We Do For Love ... 10cc
V Six ... Fluke (electronica from the UK)
Sins So Vain ... Vallens *
Take This ... Lovebolt *
An Unfortunate Invention ... Benjamin Sheridan
Soldier ... Chloe Charles *
Heart Throb ... Maylee Todd * (more than 22 seconds: see last week! LOL)
Paper Girl ... July Talk * (keep coming back to this one)
You Never Give Me Your Money ... The Beatles
Careless ... Beach Fossils
Let Loose The Horses ... The Rescues
Eyes of a Stranger (cover) ... Dirty Ghosts *
Failing The Rorschach Test ... Matthew Good Band * (didn't get to this for TURF)
Digging In The Dirt ... Peter Gabriel (not likely to get this far but still)

In case you wonder why the Fab Four made both this and Catwoman fill in playlists, I saw "Eight Days A Week" this Monday and it inspired me. This doc was endorsed by  Yoko, Olivia Harrison, Paul and Ringo and was backed by Apple Corp. Not to mention that it was a Ron Howard film.
Great rare footage and a well balanced film from the point of view of the band itself.

Thanks for listening.

Catwoman Fill In Show September 30 6-7 pm

Hi kids,

Catwoman is on the prowl in lands far away and it's my priviledge to sit behind the console tonight.

Therefore here we go...Hope you enjoy it!

Pull Your Knife ... Eleanore * (new track)

Mason ... The Ballroom Babies *

Headstrong ... Ballin' Jacks (from Strummer a Go Go #1)

Fifty Fifty ... The Luyas *

Don't You Know ... Black Market Karma (psych from the UK)

Maybe Tomorrow (theme from the Littlest Hobo)...Prince Colwyn *

Kitty ... The Presidents of the United States ( I would vote for these guys)

Your Wife Is Calling ... Lee Ving, Dave Grohl etc

Chasing Alaska ... Rabid Flowers *

Savoy Truffle ... the Beatles

Just Luck ... The Royal Canadians *

Eye's Pie ... Devil's Din *

Thanks for listening

Ruby Slippers September 23 7-8 pm

Hey everybody!

It is now officially the Fall and despite the actual temperatures, I am fully embracing the transition into a more reflective time. Sun's up later, down earlier, mornings are finally cooler. 

Which of course means music seems to change too. No more summer sunshine. (Well, at least not as much)

Don't know if this shift has really been captured in the playlist. See what you think.

Bird Party Yay ... Maylee Todd *

Burn The Witch ... Radiohead

Wallz ... Herokah * (new)

Soldier Girl ... Waxmen *

Shadow ... Midnight Lions * (also new)

Approaching Pavonis Mons By Balloon ... Flaming Lips (no idea, honestly)

Killer of dragons ... The High Dials *

So Cynical ... Immaculate Machine *

Nice To Know You ... Incubus (fell in love with this album in the fall, always go back to it then)

Devil Inside ... INXS (Halloween is coming! How many days away??? )

A Prince's Shadow ... Jon Davis *

The Good Soldier ... Nine Inch Nails

Monkeys Uptown ... Iron and Wine (always best heard very early in the morning. Oh well)

Boys In The Woods ... Fol Chen (expand your mind with this one)

Crossed Wires ... The Acorn * (cover) Love the video for this

Soldier ... Rachael Cardiello

Since Last wednesday ... Highasakite

Indoctrination ... Dead Can Dance (sometime will do an entire show around this band)

Thanks for listening. Taking over Catwoman next week so two hours of nonstop music and stuff.

Also Membership time coming up in November. Just saying.
