Some instrumental jazz fusion stuff, followed by salsa.  Signal getting a bit stronger.  No ID yet.
0251z: Fred Astaire "The Carioca"

0321z: XLR8 sorta whispered ID
0321z: Talking Heads "This Must Be the Place".  Don your big suits and grab your lamps, kids.
0412z: Firefly sez: Radio Birdman "Non-Stop Girls"
0414z: The Who "Naked Eye", didn't need Shazam or Firefly for this one.  The guitar riffs in Naked Eye first appeared in Live at Leeds, one of the great live rock concert albums and featured Townsend's best guitar work.

0513z: SSTV, fingers crossed, just got MMSSTV hooked up again, see if it works.
0516z: Liliput "Die Matrosen"
0520z: Y Pants "Favorite Sweater"
0522z: Green Day sitting around, jerking around, etc. song
0525z: Off after XLR8

Signal up and down throughout broadcast, S1-S5, over moderate QRN.  Stronger peaks and milder QRN crashes after 0400z.
Fun show, and the signal got better as it went along. Thanky kindly, XLR8!

Dear XLR8,
Coming in pretty fair.

You're fightning the lightning static well.  And you've got bass in the face. It makes good audio. Noise is S4-6, and your signal is S5-7.  Coming in pretty strong, I have my beverage hooked up again.
0337utc, Fatboy Slim, We've come a long long way together. I haven't heard this in a while, I just thought of Fatboy Slim earlier this week too! Its a sign...

Edit: I'm pretty sure this is the strongest I've heard XLR8 too, JoeFLIPS.
