November 24th Playlist!

Wow, I can't believe November is almost over! How is that even possible?!? November has been an interesting month weather-wise. Just a few weeks ago it was warm and sunny and fall-like... now it is as cold as it is in January. Ahhh, such is life in Saskatoon and on the prairies. Lucky for me, my hair is growing out nicely (well, it kind of sticks up in the morning)and I'm keeping warm with lots of toques! I hope this week's show kept you warm!

November 17th Playlist!

After last week's embarrassing performance of radio show-person-ship, I am hoping to make it up to all of you loyal, and not-so-loyal, listeners of my show. Really, I apologize from the bottom of my heart. A combination of my feeling ill and tiredness possessed me to sleep-walk (or I can only assume I walked) to my alarm and turn it off. I TURNED IT OFF?!? I didn't wake up until it was too late. I hope that the computerized music didn't ruin your morning. Anyway, this week's show is filled with local and non-local Canadian music, as well as music from upcoming shows. Here are some shows showcased on the show, followed by the playlist:
Wintersleep - Friday, November 19th @ Louis'
Jason Collett - Saturday, November 19th @ Amigo's
Dan Mangan - Saturday, November 20th @ The Broadway Theatre (almost sold out!)
Michael Kaeshammer & Jill Barber - Sunday, November 28th @ The Broadway Theatre

November 3 Playlist!

Well, our second spring is making my mood much happier. I hope that you, too, are enjoying it. I mean, how could you not? I want to send a special shout-out to my good buddy, Tina, who started hosting GE&H on Tuesdays from 6 to 8am. If you like my show, you'll love her music selections as well! My advice to her is to get music ready the night before and sleep in until 5:30... it's the only way to do this show. In -40 it's way more difficult to get down here. Actually, I love playing music for y'all even if it is super early in the morning. There's nothing like sharing wonderful music with the wonderful community radio listeners in Saskatoon!
