This Island Earth
Sunday November 23rd, 2014 with PeterB
Music from all over the Pan-Galactic N-dimensional map!

First and foremost, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU TO ALL WHO DONATED!! You know who you are. Thanks to you, the listeners, we made our goal, and no more CKCU Funding Drive incessant pleading for another 50 weeks. CKCU thanks you. The This Island Earth Collective thanks you. I thank you. COMMUNITY RADIO IS IMPORTANT!!! (If you did not donate yet, you still can! Just go to ckcufm.com) Today's show is just LOADS of long tracks, in big sets, with as few yacks as we can get away with. Piles of music from all over the pan-galactic map, of course. And some dubious gear-grinding transitions. As usual. ENJOY! And please type in your thoughts on the Interactive thingy ...

Hi Shelley Ann. Glad you are enjoying the show! Is raga good for running? I would have no idea...

Sure--that would be nice. There should always be a variety of music on any running playlist--for speed, hills, warm-up/cool-down. It's all good.
