Cassette Tape Challenge - November 26th Playlist

Remember Vicky, my cohost from a few weeks ago? Well, I challenged her to do an all-vinyl Green Eggs and Ham on her Tuesday show. Her response challenge - an all cassette show.

My friend (and host of Wednesday’s Afternoon Buzz) Kirk Trew had already agreed to cohost the show, so, through no fault of his own, he had to complete the challenge as well.

The truth comes out.

So! It seems I was quick to jump on the "Oh hey guys, I have the best new show on CFCR, just saying." type of announcement. That distinct honour belongs to the lovely Jennifer Freeze over on Sunday night's Thrice Removed, who raised over twice what I did for FM-phasis.

A lesson in fact checking.

The show won "Best New Show" at the CFCR volunteer appreciation night.

Awesome!

Funeral Songs

If you happened to die right now (or in the very near future), what song would you want played at your funeral? This was the question we were trying to answer on this edition of the show. We being myself and special guest host Jennifer Freeze, who hosts Thrice Removed on Sunday night.

* denotes Canadian

1. Dana: Frightened Rabbit - Head Rolls Off (The Midnight Organ Fight, 2008)
2. Doug Hoyer: The Burning Hell* - Last Will and Testament (Tick Tock, 2008)
3. Laurie: Woodpigeon* - I Live a Lot of Places (Treasury Library Canada, 2008)
4. Julia: The Kinks - Strangers (Lola vs. the Powerman & the Money-Go-Round, Pt 1, 1970)

6. Leon: Monolithic Cloud Parade - Do Ghosts Dream of Death? (Children With Wolf Heads)
7. Jenn: Joel Plakett* - Natural Disaster (La De Da, 2005)

11. Kyle (Crash the Car) - Wintersleep* - Home (Wintersleep, 2003)

We had a very nice lady call in and tell us that she was enjoying the show, and that she did not think we were wrecking the songs by associating them with funerals. So far, Jenn is winning the co-host-a-thon.
