So the World Cup is under way. England's first match disappointing only in the way the goal wen in. Result was not devastating. They created many chances, 2-3 really good ones. Makes the group some work now, which is good. Besides anyone who thought the Americans were going to be a cakewalk were sadly mistaken. They're overated but still a quality side. Here's to a week of great football.
We'll be opening up up each show during the World Cup with some footie songs.

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!
