Show tracks for Sat. Sept. 11/10

A couple quick notes to start, there were massive technical problems at CJAM for this show. The computer network was down which affected the show. There was no lp session or saved track listing available after the show. I tried my best to reconstruct it from memory (but that's not what it used to be...lol).
I think I remembered it all (jeesh I'm getting old! lol).
In fact, at the time this was written after the show, the CJAM website was not available either. So I hope the
show will be available for download at a later time when the problems are fixed.
Anyways, sorry about all this. I hope you get to hear the show.

Since school is back in for almost everyone now, we open this show with the traditional welcome back to school song,

Show tracks for Sat. Sept. 4/10

I received a note in the suggestion box this week...lol...that said it would be easier to read the tracklist if I separated it up into the actual sets so you could follow along at home. So I figured I would give it a try and see how you all liked it. I also made note of the Canadian Content by adding a little "(cc)" after the selections in question.
I hope you liked the show. Join me again next week, same indie place...same indie time!

Show tracks for Sat. Aug. 14/10

Slightly pre-empted for the second week in a row, this time for Phog Fest broadcasting.
But get used to this new start time. It seems the powers that be at CJAM have be'ed and they have decided to take away that half hour permanently.
So Cowboys & Indies will now officially start at 10pm and run until midnight.
Believe me I am not a happy camper about this. In fact, to say I am severely disappointed is an understatement.
But as a result of the shorter slot a few things about the show will have to be modified.
From this point on there will only be 1 lp session and it will be shorter. We will have to wait and see how this new time will affect the Festive 50. It is already a 2 episode event, if it looks like it will take 3 to do it I may have to revise it or drop it all together.
Don't panic, we'll just wait and see how this all plays out and go from there.
Cowboys & Indies will continue to be your home for the best in the British Indie/Alternative scene.

stornoway - watching birds
peggy sue - watchman
the cribs - housewife
paul smith - north atlantic drift

dolly mixture - everything and more

arcade fire - half light 1
stars - i died so i could haunt you
steve mason - understand my heart
----lp session sky larkin "kaleide"
