It's Nat's birthday!
In honour of Nat's birthday on Friday 24 April, we are having a NAT show this week. All the songs we play will either have NATALIE in the title or will be by artists called Natalie/Nat/Natasha. We hope you can tune in on the night and send Nat a birthday greeting! To send a message, you can SMS 0427JOY949, email onair@joy.org.au, or phone 9699 2949.

Costumes: Nat came as a bicycle built for two (not as the town bike, which is what Katie thought originally); Daniel came as Number Two from the Austin Powers movies; and Katie was covered in brown, sticky (but odourless!) body paint - she was Number Twos.
The Conversation Pit with Nat: The topic du jour was 'What are your two favourite flavours of ice-cream to have in a double header?' Nat's are mint choc chip and butterscotch, Daniel went the traditional way and said chocolate and strawberry, and Katie's favourite combination is dark chocolate ice-cream and raspberry sorbet.
Katie's Clutch Purse: Trivia about the origins of the glyph we use for '2' and the importance of the number 2 in Chinese culture and in Judaism.
Daniel's Cocktail Menu: How to make The Two, a Two Wheeler and a Two Drink Minimum.

LIVE/DIE show recap
Another fun show with some great music. Thanks to all the listeners who sent emails (onair@joy.org.au) and text messages (0427 JOY 949) - it seems many people were up late on Good Friday!
Song list
Live and Let Die - Paul McCartney & Wings
The Way You Live - Hunters & Collectors
Old Before I Die - Robbie Williams
Live Like Horses - Elton John
Only the Good Die Young - Billy Joel
Live and Breathe - Tina Cousins
But I Might Die Tonight - Cat Stevens
Live to Tell - Madonnna
When I Die - The Waifs
You Only Live Twice - Nancy Sinatra
Die Another Day - Madonna
Live It Up - Mental As Anything
Die Vampire, Die! - Susan Blackwell
Who Wants to Live Forever - Queen
I Would Die 4 U - Prince
Live Without It - Killing Heidi
Love You 'Til the Day I Die - Crowded House
Costumes: Nat had six shoes on her head (she was six feet under - geddit?); Daniel came as Ned the pie-maker from the TV show Pushing Daisies (he has the power to bring dead people back to life); and Katie was a midwife.
The Conversation Pit with Nat: The topic du jour was 'Have you ever been directly involved in a hatching or a dispatching?' Katie said she had dispatched a lot of cockroaches, while Nat had been at the births of a foal, a calf and a human baby. Our special in-studio guest, Mari, told us about donating some of her eggs to a couple who wanted to have a baby, while listener contributions included two people who had inadvertently killed their childhood pets; Chris from St Kilda, who had lost many friends in the 1980s (he said, 'Many of them wanted a celebration of their lives - and so it was'); and the Lovely Barbara, who was dispatching Easter eggs while listening to us on JOY.
Katie's Clutch Purse: Sayings with 'live' or 'die' in them, and their meanings, e.g. 'to live from hand to mouth / in a glass house / in the lap of luxury / the life of Reilly' and 'to die for want of lobster sauce / in harness / with one's boots on / like a dog'.
Daniel's Cocktail Menu: How to make a Lifesaver, a Dying Bastard and Fiery Balls of Death.
