December 29, 2024 pt 1: The Best of 2024

Episode #1069

2024 was another banner year for music even though a lot of our usual favourites didn't release new albums. This allowed for some new discoveries and unusual selections. This week's show looks at some of the many highlights of the year. Here are some of the releases that really caught my ear this year!

I'd love to know what resonated with you this year! Please leave a comment, visit the website contact page, or find me on social media and let me know what you liked & didn't like this year!

Episode #1065

For the first 15 years of this program, I made an annual compilation of some of my favourite songs released during the year. I revisit those often but haven't ever really used them as the topic for a whole episode, until now. With that in mind, I went through each of the compilations and pulled out a couple of songs, then imagined what subsequent compilations might have included, for a Best of the Best of compilations, which in turn kind of serves as a very best of Tell the Band to Go Home!

This is one of our standby series of pre-recorded episodes that are meant to be timeless, so we can pop them into the schedule again some time when I can’t be at the studio live, so enjoy this one now and again!

Episode #1058

Thanksgiving weekend is always a great time to sit around and ponder your many blessings and privileges, but it's even better if you can share some love and appreciation with others who bring good things to your life. This episode is my small effort to show a little bit of gratitude for some of the many people that I appreciate and love. Today, we've got one exciting upcoming show to preview, but most of the show is songs by and for people that I want to thank for being part of my life.

Episode #1050

Every once in a while, it's fun to go digging through the CD library, the archives, and my failing memory banks in search of musical treasure that I haven't heard & played in a while. This episode is made up of 3 hours of great songs that don't come up in the rotation all that often, so they definitely deserve a refresher and another listen.
