New Timeslot - Thursdays at 9am

Okay, so we’re moving again. I can’t promise this will be the last time. After all, I do get a new schedule every semester that must be accomodated to. Gotta’ learn!

New time is Thursday mornings at 9am. Same batplace, same batstation.


Elliott Smith performing “The Last Hour” all the way back in 1996, seven years before it would appear on From a Basement on the Hill. This will always be one of my favourites.

Here’s the army that you mowed to the ground
And the bodies you left lying around
Talking it out the last hour
I’m through trying now, it’s a big relief
I’ll be staying down
Where no one else gonna give me grief
Mess me around
Just make it over
Your opinion was the law of the land
A single thing that I could always understand
I lived it out from hour to hour
The only thing that never really changed
You ran me all around
And dragged me down
At the end of the day
Don’t keep me around
Just make it over
I’ve been thinking of the things that I missed
Situations that I passed up for this
One-way love I took for ours
I’m through trying now, it’s a big relief
I’ll be staying down
I wasn’t good at being a thief
More like a clown
Make it over

New Timeslot

Sad Sack Serenade will now be broadcasting live on Sundays at 10:00am. The move comes because I had an important class this semester on Friday mornings that I couldn’t miss.

Hope all of you listeners will be able to tune in Sundays instead! New podcast link will be coming after the first broadcast in the new timeslot this weekend.

A pre-recorded show will be airing this Friday at 9am, then on Sunday a brand new show will go out live in the new timeslot at 10:00am.
