Playlist for 25-Oct-11

With the excitement of FunDrive 2011 commencing tomorrow (that's the 26th of October) I was a bit excited this morning and didn't really fill you in on the Put R in D for Dangle FunDrive show happening 01-November-2011. That's next Tuesday. The format will be a bit different - less music in quantity because there will be lots of talking about the FunDrive; but the music will be hand-picked by yours truly and we will be hearing one artist for each province and territory. That's going to be fun-packed, never mind fun-driving. And now - what we heard today, with mega thanks to the artists who keep me in my volunteer position of DJing:
