“The Muse”, the student newspaper of Memorial University in St. John’s, Newfoundland, has selected my live performance of Video Killed the Radio Star as one of their YouTube Picks of the Week! I am anxiously awaiting the onslaught of oh-so-polite remarks that the Canadians will undoubtedly add to the Comments area of the YouTube page.

Thanks to the editor of the picks, “Madam Internet”, and also to Google Alerts!
