April 20th Playlist!

Today's show is quite a mix of old songs with new songs. I have been feeling a bit musically nostalgic lately. As I was walking to the station this morning I realized that the song I started the show with this morning was the first song I played in my Green Eggs and Ham career. I had no idea that 7 years later I would still be on the airwaves in the same time slot playing the same song. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this morning's show!

April 13th Playlist!

The time of the year has come when the sun wakes me up for my trek to the radio station. It is great! After 7+ years of getting up at 5am for the 6:00 start, I think I'm finally getting used to getting up early for the show. It still surprises me how much I love picking and playing music for the good community radio listening folks of Saskatoon. Hmm... apparently I'm feeling reflective today. Oh yeah, don't forget to get your Community Radio membership! You can win prizes and tickets and you would be supporting awesome radio.

April 6th Playlist!

Last weekend was Vive Fest 3, a truly indie rock festival to kick off spring. From what I could tell, it was a great success with 3 venues going and lots of great indie rock bands. I had the pleasure of hosting Samantha Savage and her band (5 in total) on my living room floor. They were such lovely people and it is always nice to host people who are thankful for a place to sleep that isn't their van (even if one of them was allergic to my dog - sorry, Chris!). It was a great coming together of people who truly love and appreciate independent music. Today is also the day of birth of my friends Amanda and Lucas! I am excited to welcome this little person into the world with a bit of music dedicated to Baby Storey.
