For my delight this weekend, Chris and Jay Sloan read my letter on the air on the Sirius radio show on CBC3. Was a nice surprise and made an otherwise lousy weekend better. I felt a tad embarrassed but I honestly wanted to hear their Top records of 2005. I have always made those kinds of lists so why not want to hear your favorite bands records that they enjoyed. I learned about a ton of bands from Robin and I am sure I got turned on to lots of artists via The Posies too. It is a nice train of learning, learn more music by checking into music your favorite bands either like or cover or are influenced by. I bought my first Big Star record thanks to asking Jon Auer about "I am the Cosmos" I like the way that works. Unfortunately, all this music I keep hearing on my new satellite Canadian channels is not available here. That has never stopped me before but I lose my trading in stuff option. Like right now, I have a bunch of DVDs Dan bought to trade into Rockaway yet they can't order any of my current list. Maple Music needs to take trade! So yep, Jay read my letter, Chris made comments (LMC letter-"You guys really know your indie scene", CM- "Yeah 10 years ago") and I was giddy late Saturday night
