August 17, 2011 "You're gonna want me with a bat of an eye, Baby I feel lucky tonight"

It's tough to follow up a week like last week's birthday show, but this week's show was pretty awesome (if I do say so myself). I looked through the new music section thoroughly for this week's show and WOW! is there a lot of great new music put out this year. With new music and the fall coming up, it means there are lots of concerts coming up! I'm stoked for that - it helps with the end-of-summer blues. I will be gone for the next two weeks from the airwaves, but I'll be back in September just in time for FM-Phasis, CFCR's annual fundraiser, and the abundance of concerts. Take care until then!

August 10th Birthday Show!

It's true that today is my birthday. If you listened to my show, you could probably tell that I was really excited about it. As a Leo, I don't hide what I'm thinking or feeling... it's part of our charm! Today's show was all about me and my favourite songs. I have more favourite songs than one can shake a stick at, but the ones I played today are definitely among them. I hope that you enjoyed listening to the show as much as I enjoyed playing them! Who says that birthdays are less exciting as you get older? Not me!
