September 6, 2009
This week's musical selection is one of my favourite songs from one of my favourite bands of all-time, The Lowest of the Low. When their first independent album, Shakespeare My Butt... was released in 1991, I actually wore the CD out, and needed to buy a second one in later years. I was waiting in anticipation for their second album, when CFNY (now The Edge) featured a song on one of their yearly new music samplers. It was called Gamble, and was a song that I had seen them perform in concert numerous times.
