Show tracks for Sat. Mar. 26/11

Good thing the music was great because I was talking a load of rubbish last night. I couldn't string 2 sentences together to save my life. Well, I never claimed to be a professional...lol
Hope you enjoyed last weeks Rewind! show. With the special guest we could have renamed it Marks & Sparks....haha...get it? I know it was stretch because I don't even spell my name with a k.

It's been a while since we did a Rewind! show. We had a special guest in the studio for this one. Sparky a tour manager, radio dj, and music enthusiast sat in and picked some of his fave tracks. He had a lot of great tracks for you. Some of which I would have picked as well. Proves that great minds think alike. Hope you enjoyed it.

Show tracks for Sat. Mar. 12/11

I love being blown away at a concert. OMD were absolutely brilliant last night at The Crofoot Ballroom. They looked great (I want to say for their age but I realize that I'm not that far behind them...lol)and more importantly sounded even better. Played most of my faves, they strayed from the more experimental early sound and stuck with the hits primarily. That's the third amazing show this year Tears For Fears, UB40 and now OMD. Let's hope the shows continue through the summer!
Tonight we feature the last tribute for Int'l Women's Day, this time the Brit girls groups. The set included 6 of my faves.

Next week will be a special version of Rewind! as we have a special guest in the studio. Tune in to hear his stories of the bands he's promoted, the clubs he's djed and the radio show he co-hosted in the UK. Plus all the great music you've come to expect from a Rewind! show.

Show tracks for Sat. Mar. 5/11

Well, that was an eye-opening show...lol Man some people swear like sailors, myself included. Sorry for the late post, but I was in the middle of a cd reorganization last night...and that requires all my attention!
