Happy Bloomsday!
Somehow, this show didn't completely go silly, though it definitely broached that territory. Part of it was tied to having most of this setlist ready early, which may be comforting from a planning perspective but that doesn't make the show all that fun if it's all pre-progammed for days. Another part was that I was recovering from a busy schedule over the past few days, so I was getting punchy. Mildly punchy however, though there were points where I was ready to leap in and be a brat.
Were there errors during the Vivian Girls' song? Yeah: I was going to play another track I found, called Where Do You Run To which sounds prettier but I was surprised to find that the station had a physical copy of theirs lying around. I also switched which Women track played after seeing the recent addition of that Calgary band's album to the active station playlist; I was going with the shorter Cameras originally.
One thing you can try to listen to during the show is the faint singing from a rehearsing choir in the ballroom across the corridor from CITR. There were points towards the end of the show where I would hear the hundred plus singers in the background with the orchestra bits I was playing. I'm sure that would've been fantastic to mix together for you, the listening audience, but it would get tricky and I became distracted helping Gavin sort out some computer issues.

I skipped the concert listings this week since there wasn't that much going on over the next few days and some of my song replacements were eating up my time.
