Green Eggs and Ham: Tales of the Unexpected

The unintentional theme this morning seemed to be unexpected developments. Weird sets with songs that didn't really obviously relate to each other; the fact that I played an Usher song and it wasn't in the Slice Of Cheese segment; the news that Feist will be headlining this year's Jazz Festival. I would have been remiss if I hadn't finished the show as I did, with a tribute to the late Chris Reimer (of Calgary band Women and a touring member of The Dodos) whose tragic and extremely untimely death caught us all by the worst kind of surprise.

Here's the playlist:
