February 23rd Playlist!

If you listened to today's show you know that I could hardly stop talking about The Black Keys because they are COMING TO SASKATOON! June 30th at TCU Place. I'm so excited that I really have nothing else to say.

February 16h Playlist!

This week's show was thrown together at the last minute, but I feel like it was one of my best shows yet! I'm so excited for new albums to come out in 2011 - I just want to listen to musicmusicmusic, which I have. I'm also obsessed with The Sadies right now, ever since Sunday night's concert, which was bizarre and will be a concert not soon forgotten. Even with one key band member missing, they were still awesome. I sure hope Dallas' leg gets better soon. They have already postponed and rescheduled their tour for June. That was quick! I'm excited already, but I feel a little guilty that it happened here in Saskatoon. And maybe I'm a little selfish, but I'm also kind of glad that it happened here because it meant that we got to see a once-in-a-lifetime set of The Sadies, sans Dallas (which likely will not happen again and as Travis said, we HOPE it won't happen again). Anyway, without further ado, here is the playlist from today's show.

February 9th Playlist!

So winter's half over and the temperatures really haven't been that bad. That being said, I'm desperately looking forward to spring. The upcoming Blues Festival looks like it will keep us warm and going until spring. Also, this upcoming week is V-day, my second-most hated high-pressure holiday. I hope that you all feel loved this v-day, but if you don't, just ignore the day and know that it, too, will pass. With that ray of sunshine, here is this week's playlist....

February 2nd Playlist!

Today a gopher tells us when spring is coming. I'm not totally sold on this idea, but I think it gives people hope for spring. It's the day that marks the halfway point of winter. Anything that gives hope is good enough for me! So today's show had some songs that pertain to this theme and some songs that didn't. I hope you enjoyed it and I'm sure looking forward to spring!
