Link to show.

When putting together this show, I didn't know that Wordburglar's song was subtitled "Eat A Parrot". It belongs next to "Talking Parrot" because of the way they sounded together. I didn't make the lyrical connection until I was sitting in the on-air studio looking at CJAM's copy of Burglaritis. Those  unplanned connections are one of the fun things about mixing music together. Etc.

For a while back in the 80s, I used to start the 10pm-2am Saturday night show on CJAM with the same song I played first today: from Martin Basic's Music... the song might be called "Vibes". My excellent co-host back then was Marcia Gragg. What fun we had!  Four hours of vinyl mixing and talking crazy about music every Saturday. Nutty!
