These are the playlists for the shows that I've done on CKCU. I try and update this page as the show progresses, but it's probably best to give me a day to get it up here with links and everything. If you'd like to listen to me, my show broadcasts alternate Wednesday afternoons (see the news section for exact dates) from 13:00-15:00 EDT, and can be heard in Ottawa, Canada, western Quebec and northern New York state by tuning into 93.1 FM, and it is also available worldwide via the Internet and streaming Real Audio by going to CKCU's audio page. Beginning Thursday, March 4, 2004 the show can be heard Thursday mornings, 9:30-noon. More recent playlists can be found here.

Due to the bi-weekly nature of the show, this one was my Valentine's episode, hence the first 2 sets (roughly the Meters through Buzzcocks). 2 Live Crew and Julie Doiron got played because they're coming to town Saturday (but not playing together). The Cure and Del stuff got played because Rhino Records & Elektra Records recently released retrospectives of those two from their times on Elektra. A rare show that was greatly affected by outside forces.

The CD player just stopped playing in the middle of Niagara, and the other CD player seemed to only play some of the music of DJ/Rupture. Odd. The most listener feedback generated in a show since the comeback. Link to the story where it's implied I'm a "club kid" that I was complaining about.

2 of these albums actually ended up landing on the CKCU chart the following week. I feel like such a trendsetter!

This was a last minute show, and I mean it literally. I was visiting Ryan during Whatever's Cool With Me when right before noon it was revealed that not only had a key mishap kept the 12 o'clock show from recording their show for today, but the same thing happened with the 1-4 show as well. I told the program director that I would cover for awhile as I had nothing to do until my 2:30 class started. He seemed appreciative. I'm glad to know I still possess skills to slap together a show very fast.
