It’s our 400th episode, and that seems like a milestone worthy of a bit of a look back at what we’ve accomplished (and screwed up) over the course of 9 years and more than 800 hours on air. We took a trip back to episode #1 and covered a lot of the great memories that have happened along the way.

Pre-recorded this week, as we’re off at the Winnipeg Folk Festival. It’s time to listen back to one of those timeless episodes that you won’t mind hearing again (and again). This time, it’s a game of he said/she said, as we split our time between some great male and female artists.

TTBTGH Turns 400!

Tell the Band to Go Home is about to turn 400 (although we’ve been told that we don’t look a day over 325). After almost 9 full years, we’ve reached our 400th episode, and we’re feeling pretty proud of that. Who knew that we’d still be around almost 10 years later, bigger and better than ever (or so we think.)

What should we do to celebrate this occasion? Is it even as monumental as we’d like to believe? Should we do some kind of “best of” show? Some kind of retrospective? Show history? Shout outs to the people who made it all possible? Should we just do the best damn show we can, just like we do every other week? What?

Send us an email (tellthebandtogohome at gmail dot com) or leave a comment here or on Facebook if you’ve got memories, suggestions, or anything else to add!

We’re pre-recorded this week from my basement, and that means that I have access to some discs in my CD collection that I don’t often lug down to the station. This week we dig back through the collection for some classic blues, country, and all around good stuff that you don’t always hear on the show, but maybe should.

It’s the long weekend, and even we take a day off now and again, so we’re pre-taped this week, but there’s plenty going on with Folk Fest firing up this week, so this episode is the OFFICIAL Winnipeg Folk Festival preview. Since he wasn’t invited to play this year, Fred Eaglesmith is coming to town and going head-to-head with the Festival, so we’ll preview his show and wish him well also.

The beginning of today’s show is inspired in large part by the amazing Colin Linden shows I witnessed last night. We’ve also got some great new music including the long, long, long awaited new album from Gillian Welch! And, this past Thursday on Steel Belted Radio I did an oddball, unexpected hip-hop set, and what’s a guy to do when he does something weird (but fun), except do it again! We’re having a hick-hoppin’ good time today.
