Slice of (musical) heaven in 2011

OK it was just a regular City Rock Showgram. Well somewhat regular. I played some of my favorite tracks from 2010 between 7 and 8:30 (I will post that playlist by this weekend when I retrieve the info.). The 80s at 8:30 featured artists who released recordings in 2010 or late 2009 and were doing the same back in the day.

New tracks

6 pm hour

Stereolab -- Laserblast
The Pomegranates -- Skull Cakin
Warpaint -- Set Your Arms Down
Viva -- What's Your Sign Baby?

John Wesley Coleman -- Get High Babe

(Most of the 2010 stuff I played is no longer in the "new" rack at the station, so I CANNOT include it in my "new tracks" list!)
