Playlist May 3 2010

Since Camille couldn't make it this morning, I was on my own and could finally play all of the songs she won't normally let me.   Okay, okay, maybe that's not entirely true!   I did have fun picking out music this morning - the sun was even shining after this whole week of rain.  A good way to start the week, indeed.  Enjoy!

Today's show marks the first time in awhile that we were actually blinded by the sun streaming through the windows; we could complain, but instead we'll enjoy the extra daylight and use the sun-blindness as a scapegoat for any technical glitches we may or may not have had.  Check out our CanCon this week; there are lots of recent releases, including Plants and Animals, New Pornographers, and Broken Social Scene.  And, Arcade Fire, if you could share with us this place you know where "No Cars Go", we'd be interested.

Since Camille the slacker was unable to host this week, I asked Greg to join me for some early morning music appreciation.  We watched the sun rise from the studio windows and had a chance to relax and listen to some great new music, including previews of new Blitzen Trapper and Band of Horses songs.  I was also excited to see the new (localish) Drum & Bell Tower disc in the music library.  Thanks for listening - especially those of you from out of town that tuned in for the first time!

Playlist for February 22, 2010

Brrrrr!  This was definitely our coldest show as we couldn't quite figure out how to get the heat running in the on-air studio.  On the upside, people called in to make some great requests!  The highlight of the show was probably us raving about how we were both obsessed with Beach House's Zebra, and then playing the wrong song.  And then the wrong song again....whoops!!  Stay tuned for two weeks from now when we actually fulfill our on-air promise to play it.  In the meantime, here's this weeks playlist...

Playlist for February 8, 2010

Today's show was difficult.  CDs were strewn all over the place, and some tough cuts had to be made.  Janelle and I both agree an abundance of music is a great problem to have - so far 2010 has offered up some stellar new releases, and there is no shortage of amazing bands passing through Saskatoon in the next couple of months.  We might just set up camp at Amigos.  Here is our final playlist...stay tuned to hear the songs that didn't make the first draft but will surely make an appearance two weeks from now.

Peter Gabriel  - My Body is A Cage (Arcade Fire Cover)
She and Him - Lotta Love
Illinois - Kid Catastrophe

*Kris Ellestad - The Secret
*Woodhands - CP24
