Well, it's come to this: It's midnight and I'm listening to a heavy metal cover version of "The Wheels On The Bus Go Round and Round" on pirate short wave radio on Sternradio. Is life great, or what!?

0017 UTC: "Peaches" by Seattle's own Presidents of the United States of America.
0018 UTC: Host muttered something about WDOG during the song.
0020 UTC: Host: "We don't know why we scratch our butts so much ...". This was followed by "The Chopping Broccoli Song" by Dana Carvey.
0022 UTC: "Rock Lobster" by The B-52's.
0027 UTC: Host: "You are listening to Buttscratcher Radio from somewhere in the Northeast." That was followed by "Coconut" by Harry Nilsson.

Thanks for an entertaining broadcast!
