Good to hear Dara back on CKCU - still remember listening to 2 Pints of Lager & A Packet of Crisps, it was a great radio show and discovered many new bands on that show.

I like the album cover conversation, as we've talked about this among my family regarding the artwork on album covers- just about every home had great art enter into it via album covers. My kids said, and i remember this myself- staring at album art over years, and wondering about why some of it was SO great, and how great visual art works. It's a real kind of education. It was great exposure to visual art. And a huge cultural loss on many levels.

3 pints of lager! with a slew of crisps to all ambassadors (djs) passionately pitching for the unadulterated and hence mightiest CKCU. Well I wish I were able to treat you all! Great job whether or not you wish to hear accolades.
