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.

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

Colour Me Psycho - Black Corvair
(The Violent Femmes and Peter Murphy were from Greatest Hits albums)
February 11, 2000
It was a crazy day this radio show in a nutshell: I had everything
planned out to do the Valentine's day show. I was snow surveying
about 50 km north of Waterloo all day, but I was done at 5:00 pm
so I figured I could make it to the station by 5:40 pm, however
about half way to Waterloo the Civil Engineering van kept going
slower and slower and eventually stopped and wouldn't go no
more. I decide to ditch the van and hitch hike (something
I've never done before), after about 15 cars passed by a van stops
from the University of Waterlo Earch Science department. It turns
out to be the Waterloo Alpine Ski team coming back from a meet.
They start driving me home and at 6:00 I tell them to turn on the
radio because I was supposed to be on, we hear Michelle start
the show (which she has never done before) and the driver says
"Man, we have to get you to that radio station". So not only do
they drive me to the University they bring me right to the station,
I also made the observation that with the 9 people in the van
listening it was the most people to ever hear the show and I
wasn't even on it. Overall, I was very very lucky.
Well both Michelle and I were too wired to really care about the
show after that so we did our best to finish the show with the
Valentine's day theme. To add to the confusion we got about 6 or
7 phone calls during the show, many more than usual.
I'm going to try and concentrate on music from the new release
section of library this week because I feel that I have been
looking in the past too much these last few shows. However I
am trying to put together any songs related to February 29
(leap day), any ideas?
I also am ready to start shipping the Best of 1999 CD, so if you
are outside of K-W and I don't have your address please send
it along to me.

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.

First about this show, we ended up having 3 guests in the studio for the
New Year's Eve show: Sari, Derek, and Graham. We tried to keep the
talking centred on the usual themes for a year end review show: TV,
movies, music. The TV talk didn't produce a lot of insight, during the
movie discussion we all had different choices for our favourite movie but
were divided as to whether this meant it was a good or bad year for
movies. Of course everybody had different musical opinions and they are
reflected in their sets, you may notice I didn't have a specific set as I
didn't have time to finalize my list before the show (but I do reveal my
pick for number 1 single of the year at the end of the setlist). This
means that our next show (January 14) will be the Official Fireball XL5
best of 1999 show.
It also means you have a bit more time if you haven't been able to send me
your best of 1999 or best of the 1990s top three list.
