0018 UTC: "Games People Play" by The Alan Parsons Project.
0022 UTC Canned ID, then Redhat back on the mic with ID and time, followed by "High in Low Places" by Beach Weather.
0025 UTC: Redhat going over the previously played songs and talking about the music a bit, reading emails, giving HFU shout-outs, and talking about the relays carrying his broadcast.
0030 UTC: Alice in Chains cover that I didn't catch, followed by "Say You'll Haunt Me" by Stone Sour.

Good to hear you again after a long absence, good sir!
