Show tracks for Sat. Apr. 17/10 Record Store Day

To celebrate we played a bunch of tracks that Scott & I had discovered (been exposed to) while working in 2 of Windsor's finest independent record stores. The show resembled a Rewind! show except for the fact that were new exclusive Record Store tracks from Blur and The Cribs. The Editors made it to impossible for the masses to enjoy their exclusive. I guess their pleased with only a 1000 people hearing their track. The show could have gone on for hours. But once again we ran out of time.

Show tracks for Sat. Mar. 13/10

When I get home from the station on Saturday nights I flip on the tv and am entranced by a ridiculous game show on late nights here in Canada. They present puzzles where you call in at $2 bucks a call to give answers. The only problem is, I never have the right answers...lol..to the math questions anyways. Damn triangles...lol
I must be dumb. I do get the comparison picture questions right though. I knew that video game at the bar was educational!
Relax, I don't call. Even if I would love to talk to the British lady hosting the show. I find her mesmerizing. I love how she answers the phone quickly with a big British Allo! Only to have to say it again because she answers to fast for the caller to hear her. It cracks me up every time.
