Ruby Slippers for December 18 7-8 pm


Hey everybody!

HO HO HO!!! and a MERRY MERRY too!!!

This is the Christmas show playlist. As is often the case at CIUT we go to a fill in/prerecorded format on December 25 to give all the programmers a chance to spend time with family and friends.

Hence the Xmas Xtravaganza a week in advance.

There are old favorites from years gone by (who hasn't experienced Present Face first hand?), wishful thinking (First Snow Of The Year) , insane novelty songs to make you laugh in the midst of a tinsel explosion and eggnog overload and of course if time permits WHAM!!!!!!!

Of course there is also new music from here and there and everywhere.

Hope this adds to your merriment and as they say in the funny papers (?) see you next year!**

And as always, thanks for listening

**as in January 1

Present Face ... Garfunkel and Oates
First Snow of the Year ... Hawksley Workman *
Polished Wood ... Pith and Parenchymas *
Wasted Love ... City and Colour *
Bad Lieutenant ... The Sheepdogs *
Superman ... Dune Rats
Run Run Rudolph ... The Dollyrots
Ruby ... Kid Kool * (emerging artist)
100 Shopping Days Til Christmas ... The Russian Futurists *
Home By Christmas ... Moonglasses *
Child of Grace ... Skellig * (reminds me of an early Murray McLaughlin)
Wintersong ... Sarah McLaughlin *
Santa Claus Medley ... (here's where it gets weird) Jingle Cats and Dogs
Frank The Christmas Turkey ... Antsy McClain et al (relax I am vegetarian, it's just kinda funny)
Christmas on Acid ... The Vestibules
Start Wearing Purple ... Gogol Bordello
Rudolph The Paranoid Reindeer ... ToToM

and finally...Ta Da!
Last Christmas... WHAM

That's it kids.  Merry Christmas and a peaceful holiday season to all

Ruby Slippers December 4 7-8 pm


Hey everybody!

It's the month of DECEMBER and I have gone from "Oh there's loads of time to get ready for the holiday" to "IT'S AROUND THE CORNER!!!"  Much panic ensuing. Far too many lists and Post Its all over the place. Not to mention intensified carb loading and eggnog...

So, what's a girl to do? Take a deep breath, chill out and get on with playlists to provide a soundtrack to the merriment, the chaos and the mirth. Here we go!

Indie Girl ... Was It The Walrus * (NEW)
Right Home ... The Julie Ruin
Guerilla Radio ... Rage Against the Machine (Tried before, actually added it this time)
Waving You Goodbye ... To Stowaway *
Sparrow ... Eastern Magnetics * (NEW)
Do Not Feed The Radio ... Fiction 20 Down
Mines Went Down ... HOTCHA! *
Secretary Song ... The Go! Team
Lollipop (remix) ... The Chordettes
Your Friends My House ... Filthy Haanz *
Body ... Young Galaxy * (6 minute cut...only on CIUT)
Whinstone ... Greg Cairns *
Iron Rooster ... Foo Fighters (new, from free EP)
Tonight ... Menage *
Love Is The Drug ... Grace Jones (played before but really? Awesome, right?_
