We could have phoned in this show, not only did we know what
we were going to play but we had all the albums as it was our
best of the 1990s show. Once again you can see all the picks on
the webpage:

For the people who have asked, yes I'm working on the year end
CD, hopefully it will be going out sometime next week.

The next show is this Friday February 11, as it is as
close to Valentine's Day as I'm going to get the theme will
be love in three parts: Love Good, Love Bad, Love Sad. So you
can send me your favourite love songs.

It was a cold day on January 14th, and almost as cold in the station
as the furnace wasn't working, there were a couple of space heaters
around but they just took the edge off. We played a selection of songs
from both of our best of 1999 singles and album lists, if you want
to see our lists you can check them out at the Fireball XL5 homepage
at: www.civil.uwaterloo.ca/frseglen/archive/best_of_1999.htm

Also, since the last mailout we have had a winner in the Y2K Hype
contest: Although Cath had a strong start in the first half of the
contest (she got 4 points for being one day away from December 10)
Steven correctly guessed that January 12 would be the first
day that Y2K would not be mentioned in the National Post gaining
5 points and the victory (By the way January 12 is still the only
day without a mention so far in January).

This week's show is the best of the 1990s hopefully there will be
heat at the station.
