God I have so much fun doing these Rewind! shows. I love playing this old stuff. Makes me feel young again...lol I'd love to play some of the bigger hits in some cases, but getting in trouble makes it not worth it. Too bad. Still I hope you had as much fun listening as I did spinning them for you. We'' do i all again real soon.

Show tracks for Sat. May 22/10

The holiday weekends are here! That's right I said weekend's" plural. Canadian holiday (Victoria Day or The May 24 as it's affectionately known) this weekend and the US Memorial Day next weekend.
So next week will be another episode of Rewind!, Cowboys & Indies retro show for lack of a better word. It is the weekend for the great Detroit Electronic Music Festival so I figured I would air an alternative to the thumping bass beats that will prevail next weekend. Just in case there are people out there who don't like or care that the DEMF is happening. Tune in next Saturday at 9:30 for the best British music of the 80s, 90s and noughts!

Show tracks Sat. May 8/10

I am discovering that I don't adapt to new technologies well. More so when the new technologies aren't very user friendly. I hope this isn't a sign of getting old. Because I know my eyesight reminds me of that almost everyday...lol

So let's say that the next episode of Rewind! will be the American Memorial holiday weekend. I know that coincides with the Detroit Electronic Music Fest but I think it will give an option for people who don't like or participate in that weekend for some quality music.
