TV Broke My Brain! Show tracks for Sat. Nov. 29/14

Time flies when you're having fun and when the show is a third light. We were an hour shorter due to Lancer basketball programming. So we remove the Northern Soul & Mixtape segments for this week. They will both return next week as we start once again at 9PM.
We open the show with a couple of my RSD Black Friday purchases including New Order, David Bowie, Tears For Fears. I wanted the Husker Du release as well but just couldn't bring myself to spend any more money, which usually doesn't stop me...lol I just know if it's still there next week I'm going to cave and buy it. It's coloured vinyl after all!

Love Is A Chain Store! Show tracks for Sat. Nov. 22/14

The return of Ride and S*M*A*S*H but in very different ways. Ride announcing a reunion tour with stops in Toronto and New York in early June. Let's hope for a more expansive US/Canada tour a little later in the year. S*M*A*S*H releasing a new EP "Without Regret", their first new material in a few years as far as I can tell. See below.
Also, another themed Mixtape Memories as we delve into the 4AD back catalogue. I do love Sloppy Heart!
*PROGRAM NOTE* Next week's show will be one hour shorter due to a Lancer Sports broadcast. So next week we start at 10PM and will forgo the Northern Soul spotlight and Mixtape Memories segments for one week. They will return Dec. 6th as return to our 9PM start time.
