The final episode of RENegade aired in November 2009. The show blog will remain with all of the archived playlists and news, and will resume updating if/when I am hosting a radio show again! Thanks for listening!


RENegade Episode 22: Songs For A Bad Day

On the menu as you welcome your Wednesday: First hour, our usual round-up of live music events happening locally in and around Ottawa; second hour, THEME TIME!

Another very popular theme tonight...y'all love the bitter and depressing ones I must say! Two weeks ago, I asked you to request the songs you listen to when you're grouchy, and tonight I'm going to play them!

So if you're morose about going back to school, if you're mad that it's only Wednesday morning and you have three more days of work left, or if you're just generally a grouch, you'll love tonight's mix.

THE PLAYLIST FROM TONIGHT'S MUSICAL MISHMASH (SEPTEMBER 1st) WILL APPEAR BELOW TOMORROW MORNING.

I won't be live-blogging the show tonight, but here are some links to a few of the musicians and events from tonight's RENegade episode:
The full playlist from tonight's episode and all the dates for the live music shows will appear at the bottom of this post tomorrow morning, and live-blogging will resume on the next episode! :)
