Playlist March 21 2011

We welcomed today, the first official day of spring, with the promise of an impending snow storm.  Hey Rosetta's latest album Seeds encompasses the sentiments associated with the long-awaited transition from winter to spring, and it will make for some inspirational listening while we wait for the grass to peek out from under the snow.  In the meantime, I'm enjoying some spring skiing and Janelle has officially ditched the gloves and toque.  Highlights of today's show included:
1)we both arrived at the station on time
2)Radiohead and TV on the Radio have new albums out
3)coffee and pain au chocolat.  Thank you, Souleio Foods, for being just a few flights of stairs away.
And thank you, listeners, for tuning in.  Phone in a request once in awhile to let us know you exist!

Family Day show!  A big thanks goes out to Lyzanne Foth for coming in as a guest host this morning.  Be sure to check her out opening for Lauren Mann at Caffe Sola tonight.  She brought in some great tunes, great energy, and a huge camera.  Maybe she will end up posting some of her photos on her blog (http://lyzannefoth.blogspot.com/), where you can also check out her sweet mug collection.  It was great to hear music from her band Oh Victoria, as well as a lot of other great local bands.  Oh yes, and there are a lot of good live shows coming up - make sure to check out your local listings so that you don't miss out.   Thanks for listening, and ciao for now!

A big thanks to Greg, who filled in for Camille, who was away today.  Thanks to all of the listeners who tuned in from around the world to listen in on this morning's show.  Although I detest the early morning wake-up, once I get to the studio I am always glad to be there.  I have to say that listening to a couple of hours of great music is an awesome way to start of a cold winter week.  It might be fair to say that we are obsessed with the Tallest Man on Earth, seeing as he made our playlist twice this week.  Oh yes, and we love our moms and all great moms out there!

Thanks to everyone who tuned in on this gorgeous January morning!  A special thank you goes out to Tony, who phoned in to tell us how much he was enjoying some early morning selections and who was right on the money when he hinted that Leif Vollebeck would make a great addition to the playlist.  We really do have the best listeners in Saskatoon!  There's a lot of new Canadian stuff trickling into the musicsphere these days, and we have tried to feature some of the best over the last few shows.  Enjoy!

P.S.  Upon checking out our blog stats, it has come to our attention that we have somewhat curious following from Denmark.  If you are checking out this blog from Denmark, fire us an email and make a request.  We'd love to hear from you!

Playlist December 27 2010

Doing an early morning radio show during the holidays is a double edged sword.  Is anyone actually listening on a Monday morning when you deservedly should be sleeping in?  On the plus side, we got to go for breakfast afterwards instead of rushing off to work, so this was officially our breakfast show.  We only played one breakfast-themed song, but we sure talked about bacon and eggs more than usual while the songs were playing.  This wasn't a best of 2010 list - we'll leave that to the people at Pitchfork and Exclaim.  However, we managed to fit in a lot of stuff released in the last year because we liked it, and we hope you do too.  See you in 2011!
