All the RaDaR fans must be celebrating :)

This whole week the dates are radars.

I would love to join in the festivities but it gets boring when the live band just keeps playing the same song over and over again.  Oh, wait, I must be thinking of the Repeater Week party instead.  ;D

Yeah, this week the band plays a song, stops, then plays it backwards.

But then you would have to pay the band twice.  Alternatively, they could just play the late Nash the Slash's song, "Theory of the Black Hole".  The song sounds pretty much the same played backward as forward (with some artistic liberties taken).  The forum's Toronto-centric membership should recognize Nash as a member of the local music scene for decades, pioneering some unique concept music in that time, including at least one album of instrumental pieces playable at any speed.  In case that does not make any sense to people ensconced in the age of digital music players, turntables could be adjusted to play vinyl LPs and EPs at speeds of 33 rpm, 45 rpm and 78 rpm.

Nah. We pay them, then they pay us.

I'm getting dizzy...
