Yesterday's show featured Bollywood songs from (mostly) the 1980s. They were all on the upbeat side from films like Dance Dance, Wanted, Hum Se Hai Zemana, and my favorite: Karz.

Also, maybe you can hear the sheer panic in my voice in the intro. I'd locked myself out of the studio yesterday and didn't finally hit the broadcast booth until 1 minute after the official start of the show. I was sweating!
