No, I swear I am not running out of ideas for themes. I was originally going to wait to do this episode, as we just had a Hero theme about ten episodes ago, but I'm so psyched that the television show "Heroes" is back on tonight with new episodes, I just had to!! These songs are less general and refer to our heroes and heroines by name. Not all of them were specifically written about a particular hero, but the ones that aren't still seemed to suit the particular character I had in mind. This setlist features visual aides (for those of you viewing it from the actual blog at http://ishtarandromeda.libsyn.com) but won't work if you're looking at the setlist from a podcatcher.

The holidays are over, and it's back to work. As such this weeks theme is all about work. I went out on a limb a little on a couple of songs because I really wanted them in there, even though thier titles technically did not have the words work, worker or working in the title. Also thanks to my husband, Steven, for the title since I couldn't think of a fun one, and for suggesting a couple of the songs.
