A very special show in that it was my 30th birthday, so we only played music that was released the year of my birth - 1985.
We also had the fine folks at Pseudo Laboratories in the studio for some live music - featuring artists exclusively from the Pseudo Laboratories label here in Edmonton. I couldn't have asked for a better gift.

Listen to the episode and the amazing performances here:
