I’m off like a dirty shirt!

Hey guys and gals,
I'm off to spend quality time (on the West Si-eeieeide of the country) with family, so I've left the Retro Red-Eye Express show in the able hands of Eric Barr (this Saturday), and Curt "The Rocker" (next Saturday). I'm sure they'll hold down the fort very nicely for you, and I'll be back for the July 12th show and beyond!

The playlist blog is now back up to date! I'm sorry to have lapsed, but I've had a couple of really busy weeks.

Much love to all and thanks for listening,

~Sunshine

Playlist June 7, 2008

Dear listeners,
I want to give a massive thank you to those of you who braved the "impending doom" weather reports on Thursday night while attending the Retro Red-Eye birthday party/benefit concert at The recordBar! There were a great deal of you who stuck around until the last act played and for that, I salute you!

Also, many thanks to the bands Post Orgasmic Trauma, I Love You and Five Star Crush for their great performances helping make for a fantastic birthday party.

Many thanks to all concerned (The recordBar, the audience members, and the bands) for helping support local music and community radio in one fell swoop!
