Playlist for May 31, 2010

The most difficult thing about today's show was ascending and descending the three flights of stairs that lead to the CFCR studio; my post half-marathon thigh muscles protested slightly, but in the name of music I made it!  Picking the music was the easy part; there are lots of recent and upcoming new releases - I recommend starting with the new Blitzen Trapper and The Black Keys albums.  Because Janelle was not in attendance, I got away with sticking in an entirely French set...that's what you get when you desert me in favour of a canoe trip.  I hope everyone enjoys the impending sun promised to us this week!

Since Janelle was M.I.A. this morning (I suspect she took off floating down the river in a canoe due to extreme beautiful weather conditions), my friend Erin joined me on this sunny Monday morning.  We loosely followed a sunshine and rivers theme, as that's what was on our minds after a weekend spent canoeing on the South Saskatchewan.  Happy early summer!

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!
