Those Are The Mad Notes!

It started with a requested song from a member of the Wendigos of the Helios division which led to a slightly disturbing discovery...

What better way to celebrate being opposed to censorship than a playlist inspired by Styx's "Kilroy Was Here" album on the 43rd anniversary of it's release? :)

It's a golden playlist in honour of the US Women's hockey team winning gold in the Olympics in Milano!

We actually had a choice between two movies for tonight's theme. But there was really only one choice we could have made...

Requests on the hits line bring the spice to the set and one of the three requested tracks most certainly did that! :)

Three guesses and the first two don't count as to what tonight's theme might be about... ;)

You know we love the themes but there are some nights that don't seem to have a theme. Except they do... :)

These tunes are for those who celebrated the Superb Owl a wee bit too much... :)

I don't get the sport played during the Superb Owl at all...I'm just all in for heading over to my mate's for some munchies and a fun time. But that doesn't mean that I can't throw a few tunes out there before the first game for those who celebrate a game where the "ball" is not actually ball-shaped and is rarely propelled by the foot...

The lyrics may be catchy and fun to sing but if a track is going to really grab my attention, the instrumentals have to be top notch! And one of the best instrumental groups out there is The Alan Parsons Project... :)

I had a lovely set for Martin Luther King Jr day ready to go...and no signal making it to the rink speakers! Welcome to the wonderful world of improvisation... :)

The WFOX hits line is not powered by telepathy! Just sayin'... ;)

The request lines are open...Nicholas is wanting an Evanescence vibe and I was already fiddling with some track ideas that scream "girl power". Well, one good idea deserves another... :)

I genuinely couldn't believe that there wasn't a single Grateful Dead track in the library when it came time to pay tribute to the passing of Bobby Weir. This was rectified immediately... :)

Whether it's radio or playing a set as a live DJ...special requests are often what really makes the night for us! We may not be able to fulfill it immediately but rest assured that unless the song is truly hopeless, you'll be hearing it over the speakers soon enough! :)

The MLK Jr playlist looked a bit light and I was wanting some more options to play with...what I didn't plan on was just how much bigger that playlist got! :)

Playing with some ideas for the upcoming Martin Luther King Jr holiday...

This post is the starting point for the playlists for Season XII of the MCHL Ironclad League so if there was a track that was played during the Zamboni /warm-ups that inspired feelings of “I’ve got to have that song!”, here is all the details that’s fit to print! :) The title comes from one of the earliest slogans of WMMO (the station that inspired compiling these lists in the first place!) which at the…

Tonight we have a marathon session of four back-to-back Ironclad games to finish the season. Trust me, you didn’t want to be playing in the last game of the evening…

Well, if it's an angst-laden playlist the players get, there's no way I'm not going to drop a Taylor Swift track in amongst the songs and see if it gets noticed! :)

Tonight's pre-game tracks were partially inspired by a playlist being constructed for Martin Luther King Jr Day in the upcoming season of Ironclad...

Meditations on the life of a DJ with Donald Fagen's "The Nightfly" being the inspiration for the first game's playlist! :)

The one thing these tracks have in common? A fast-paced driving rhythm... :)

Winging it with a playlist can be kind of scary...but that's what makes it so much *FUN* especially when your audience is really enjoying the seemingly random tracks! :)

Sometimes the theme of the playlists is blindingly obvious. The inspiration for tonight's playlist proves that this is not one of those nights... ;)
