Anyone is welcome to submit a Guest Blog Entry to torontomike.com.  I received the following entry earlier today.

Just thought I'd let you know.  I heard The Hip's 'New Orleans is Sinking' (killerwhaletank version) on 97.7 on the drive home tonight.  That's the first I've heard it since Katrina.  Is the embargo officially over now?

Katrina struck New Orleans on August 29, over two months ago.  It sounds as if 97.7 HTZ FM out of St. Catherines has boldly gone where no radio station has gone since.  They're playing "New Orleans Is Sinking" again...

God bless 97.7 for playing the hell out of the killerwhaletank version.  Back in December 2003 I wrote all about this version of the Hip classic.  Gord delivers a fantastic monologue about his time as a clean n' scrub man in the C n' S union and you can read it in its entirety by visiting that December 2003 entry.

Welcome back NOIS.  You've been missed.
