Playlist for May 31, 2010

The most difficult thing about today's show was ascending and descending the three flights of stairs that lead to the CFCR studio; my post half-marathon thigh muscles protested slightly, but in the name of music I made it!  Picking the music was the easy part; there are lots of recent and upcoming new releases - I recommend starting with the new Blitzen Trapper and The Black Keys albums.  Because Janelle was not in attendance, I got away with sticking in an entirely French set...that's what you get when you desert me in favour of a canoe trip.  I hope everyone enjoys the impending sun promised to us this week!

May 17 Playlist

Since Janelle was M.I.A. this morning (I suspect she took off floating down the river in a canoe due to extreme beautiful weather conditions), my friend Erin joined me on this sunny Monday morning.  We loosely followed a sunshine and rivers theme, as that's what was on our minds after a weekend spent canoeing on the South Saskatchewan.  Happy early summer!

Playlist May 3 2010

Since Camille couldn't make it this morning, I was on my own and could finally play all of the songs she won't normally let me.   Okay, okay, maybe that's not entirely true!   I did have fun picking out music this morning - the sun was even shining after this whole week of rain.  A good way to start the week, indeed.  Enjoy!
