Hello, guys. I'm pretty tired today, and I don't know what is the reason. We tried out a new format, called "Everybody Gets an Hour," and it was pretty okay, I guess, but I felt also that it lacked the sweet community-conversation that Erin and I usually get up to between songs. Usually there is spirited debate, and we try to figure out -- together -- which song would best follow whatever we have on the air. That was sort of gone and I missed it.

Oh, well. If it is written in YELLOW it is a new release, if it is written in BLUE it is Canadian, and GREENIES are both.
