Oil production may or may not have peaked on Thanksgiving Day 2005. Regardless, we can give thanks for the blessings of oil. This updates a Peak Oil Check-In from November 2007.

By now you must have remembered to set the clocks back to save daylight. (So where are you going to store that extra daylight anyway?) But have you marked your calendar to vote on Tuesday? Wow, doesn't campaign season fly when you're having fun? This week in Outsider Royalty, CSTM offers 45-year-old foolery to fire you up - The Goldwaters "Sing Folk Songs to Bug the Liberals". Feeling vintage today, we'll start with covers of the reinterpretation of traditional music sort (while we're thinking folk song & all).

This week, Can't Stop the Music starts with covers (of course), reaches into the grab bag, and shimmies in Club Levi-Strauss in honor of the French anthropologist who led us to see our "primitive" neighbors as ourselves. I love dancing to drums, don't you? Hey, put that book down, get over here, & swish that grass skirt.

Wow, what a week: A fantastic Fund Drive (THANK YOU for donating). My birthday (hardly a year over 29). And in mere days, Halloween (we've already dressed up once for the WRIR Mashquerade). What else could I want from life? Smooch, P Swann

Yup, we're high & dry, which is a good thing this week. CSTM is reaching into the grab bag & delivering two hours of bubbly cheesy goodness for you, dear listeners. So lay back & float to relax.
