We made good on the new music theme as apart from the leap year set every
album we played (except for 2) was from the recent release section of the
music library (this section contains albums that have come to the station
in the last 90 days). Can you pick the two albums that weren't - answers
at the bottom).

After the show on March 9 Michelle and I are heading down to the Boathouse
Tearoom at Victoria Park to hear Pat Skinner and Friends play, I recommend
that everyone who can make to come on down.

For this week's show, March 9 is being recognized as the 300th anniversary
of the invention of the piano and so far nobody has used it to make a
decent song, just kidding, but if you want to prove me wrong send me you
favourite song that prominently features this ubiquitous instrument.

Note 1: This is from a new album called Fatboy Slim's greatest
re-mixes, I heard a few more selections on CKMS, went out and
bought it last weekend, I love it, it's Norman Cook (aka Fatboy
Slim) remixing some great songs. The packaging is wierd as some
remixes are credited to Norman Cook and others to Fatboy Slim?

Tanya Donnelley - Pretty Deep
Colour Me Psycho - Black Corvair
(The Violent Femmes and Peter Murphy were from Greatest Hits albums)
