Note 1: When thee Goblins (band featuring Narduwar) sing "Mario Cuomo
works at Domo" what does Domo stand for?  Perhaps Domino's Pizza?  And the
following song by the Goblins is called Teabagging, which director John
Waters says is the act of hitting your parter in the face with your
scrotum, I think that is what the Goblins song is about.

These are the lists from the first two shows at the 6-8 pm timeslot.  The
most pleasant surprise has been the Belle and Sebastian CD, it seems
everybody is talking about them, they are in every magazine and David
Wisdom was talking about them on Radiosonic on CBC last week.  They are
also playing Toronto in October.

Note 1: This set was because I had interviewed Geoffrey Kelly of Spirit of
the West that day and asked him what he was listening to and he went on
and on about the Lucinda Williams new CD.  The rest of the set were people
he mentioned in the interview.

Well this certainly took a long time, sorry about that.  The big news is
that I changed the time of the show, Fireball XL5 can now be heard Friday
from 6-8 pm.  Right now it's kind of a random schedule but hopefully it
will get more regular in a few months (the guy I am switching with has an
erratic work schedule).  So remember if you want to ignore the show you
have to ignore it on Friday afternoons.

On this show I was joined by former roomate from a long time back Mr.
David Kreller who even took the time to record a few songs for us to play
on the air.

Also I played a set of music I got off the internet, I was going to
include the places I got them from but I didn't bookmark them and I can't
find them anymore, the only one I remember is www.liveconcerts.com which
is a good site.

I'll post the setlist from the other two times I've been on in the next
couple of days.
