Support Shannon

We here at the show have been big fans of Shannon McNally for a number of years now. We’ve followed her through a few phases of her career and a bunch of great albums. After a few different labels over the years, she’s gone back to the indie route, and we’re all for that. Shannon’s joining the fan-funded movement for her next album, and we here at Tell the Band to Go Home are more than happy to contribute.

She’s got a new song up there already, and unlike those Damnwells, we know when we’re going to get this disc!

Episode #355 – Sunday, August 29, 2010

Today, we’re pre-recorded because I’m off riding in the MS Bike Tour, which sees me and a whole bunch of fit people ride from Stonewall to Gimli, and back again. So how does an overweight, out of shape, nerd like myself manage such a task? Why, with the right music, of course! Today, we take a listen to some of the songs in my “Motivators” playlist, which definitely rocks a little harder than we’re used to on a Sunday afternoon.

Plus, you’ve heard all those dog songs, even our pal Stu’s cat songs, but how about monkey songs! That’s right, in honour of one of the few words that Jeremy can actually say pretty clearly, he sits in on the show and plays a whole set of songs about his favourite animal (we think), monkeys!

Make the world a better place – support the MS Society!

We here at Tell the Band to Go Home are do-gooders at heart, but there’s one cause that is especially near and dear to our hearts, and that’s the MS Society, which helps the thousands of Manitobans struggling with Multiple Sclerosis, and their families & friends.

Every year, your intrepid host Jeff rides in the MS Society’s Biking to the Viking fundraiser, which has our out-of-shape host huffing and puffing all the way from Stonewall to Gimli (and back again!)

THANK YOU to our faithful listeners who have helped raise THOUSANDS of dollars over the past few years. It all goes to a great cause, and it all makes a big difference.

You, too, can make a difference by making a donation to Jeff’s ride. Any amount helps, so don’t be shy if you can’t pony up the big bucks. Every bit counts, and every dollar is GREATLY appreciated. You can have a tax receipt, a ton of good Karma, and the knowledge that you’ve done your good deed.

Visit: http://msofs.mssociety.ca/2010Bike/Sponsor.aspx?&PID=1173813&L=2 to make your donation.

THANK YOU!!!
