Nore's [Fill in the Blank] Radio Show

Every week I do a brief (hahaha) run down of my radio show over at wmwc.umwblogs.org so that people who happen to know about that blog can catch up on what I did during my show. I've recently added links to videos on YouTube to make sure I can still do basic html while typing (I can). Because I haven't written in this blog in a while, I'm going to copy this week's entry to this blog, so you too can enjoy my show without having to actually listen to me nattering away and forgetting which song is next (because my Zune still hasn't shipped). Have fun!

This week's show was made in the face of much opposition. This week's show was created out my sweat and tears as the last thread of my sanity went down the proverbial drain. This week's show happened in spite of the fact that no one did a thing to speak of. This week's show was created because I care about all of you. This week I'll give you both the talking points and videos. Don't expect that kind of respect next week. So now for the dets.

The Talking Points

• Zooey Deschanel and Ben Gibbard tie the knot
• Many bands and artists, including Thom Yorke, sell their souls to the Twilight franchise
• OK Go, go on tour in the UK this January
• Canada awards its version of the Mercury Prize to punk rock sextet F-ed Up
• Ted Leo signs to Matador Records and everyone hopes he's not actually a black widow in human form
• I expounded on the illegal download policy situation in the UK. Here's the end result (4 paragraphs in). Further updates will be given if I don't get to tired of reporting on it.

Well that's it for this week. Next week is up in the air, though there will defininatly be music, I can promise you that. Until then, don't panic.

*As with last week I'm featuring Elbow backed by a full orchestra. The first link is to the official video, the second to the Abbey Road session. What can I say, I'm a sucker for orchestration.
**This is me, dragging you into my sad obsession. I apologize.
***Whenever I hear this song, I think of the big dance scene from A Knight's Tale. So in choosing a video link, guess what I went with. The big dance scene from A Knight's Tale.
