On this, THE 10th EDITION of The R3-30, I'd like to pause and doff my cap to those rag-tag kids who never fail to work just hard enough to make the show each week. Pictured above, from left to right:

Mark Macarthur - We're cutting him loose next week. Don't tell him.
Pedro Mendes - I know what you're thinking; "What's with that shirt?"
Andrea Gin - In happier times. Buck up, kid, you'll learn to laugh again.
James Booth - Or as we call him in the office, "Li'l Jimmy Bluepants".
Tariq - He snuck into the shot.

I couldn't do the show without you, because you've robbed me of every ounce of my self-confidence.

With apologies to Mrs. Wall, my grade 7 English teacher, here's a run-on sentence...
This week we have a new number one, 5 new songs, 3 CHARTBREAKERS, pitches from The Dudes and Cam at Exclaim!, interviews with Emm Gryner, Classified and TV On The Radio, Birdapres tells us what "Get It Done" is all about, the long-promised 90 second egg from God Made Me Funky's Phatt Al, we give away a satellite radio, and you get your chance to win one, too! Tune in to hear Chris' winning pitch this week. When we called him, he laid some rhymes on us!

Plus, we'll be giving away some TV On The Radio CDs! You'll have to listen to find out how you can win one!

The R3-30 debuts at noon (EST) on Saturdays on Sirius 94. You can also catch it Saturdays and Sundays at midnight (EST) on CBCRadio2.
