I’ve had a few questions regarding the music played over the PA before my shows, during the intermission and after the show, and yes, I do control that usually (sometimes I forget). Last year I tried using my old (2nd generation) iPod and it worked pretty well. This year I guess I’ll buy a nice small one and save on my excess baggage charges.

So here are the 2008 – early 2009 playlists
