Playlist for Feb 24

Unfortunately the Internet stream was down, so only local listeners got to hear the show.
That's a bummer, given that I played some cool stuff this weekend.
The show was recorded as usual, and should be available on the CFRC archives within a day or two--I hope the station gets the bugs out before next week.

As you can see, I followed up last week's Warlock spotlight with a segment on Doro's solo career.
I also slipped in a Savatage spotlight, focussing largely on the bands earlier career. Next week I plan to continue with some of their more recent output.

*note: "Crabsody In Blue" is from the Australian release of "Let There Be Rock", and has never been released internationally.

Warlock is the original band fronted by Doro Pesch. They were quite popular in Europe in the mid to late '80s, but virtually unknown in North American. After her force solo album, Force Majeure, Doro was taken under the wing of Gene Simmons, who worked his usual magic (i.e. almost ended her career) with the disappointing Doro album. Intended to introduce Doro to an American audience, the album was watered down and over-produced, causing listeners to dismiss her as a Lita Ford wannabe. Thankfully Doro's career has continued to thrive in Europe, and her material is now readily availabe in America.

Nymphetamine

Here's the video for Cradle of Filth's awesome "Nymphetamine".

February 10

Due to a Hockey game, there was no show on February 10.

As it turned out, this was a good thing, since I was sidelined with an illness that ultimately required minor emergency surgery on the Sunday evening. I'm healing up nicely though:)
