This was a show with a fairly wide and varied set of tunes and songs (there were four tracks with vocals; don't think I've done that before!). Perhaps my fave track this week was the totally whacked-out "Song not for you" by Vivian Houle. Gotta love freaky vocals and semi-grungy guitar.

Something to watch for: In about 3 or 4 shows, I will be playing the 4000th song on Breaking The Tethers. I'm not quite sure when this will happen but I will have a better idea as the time gets closer.
