It's the last week before winter kicks in and Dave decides he'll have the final say on what looks we're going for in winter fashion this year. Every retailer, fashion blogger and magazine is pitching their idea of what's in this season, so let Dave simplify it all for you tonight.

FLASHBACK:

Jade is reminiscing on forgotten pop boy bands tonight. Maybe there was something in the water but who knew Jade went through a boy band phase? If you too were once struck with NKOTB-mania - this is the flashback you and your happy pants were waiting for.

MUSIC:

Why is Dave touting Janelle Monae's The ArchAndroid as some album of the year? Tune in tonight to find out why sci-fi, Afropunk and funk works for this wildly creative American artiste.

Tonight, Jade and Dave will be recommending music to each other. Talk about an unprecedented collision of indie and pop!

Canberra is cold at night.
Most of Canberra's Tegan and Sara fans are straight boys.
The streets of Canberra are like a ghost town on weekends.

What constitutes as a heartbreak song?

Tune in tomorrow night 8-9pm on JOY 94.9 to find out! Ha. OK, that's a bit stiff.

Heartbreak songs are essentially songs with lyrical themes of love lost, break ups and other relationship tragedies.

As you'll probably hear tomorrow night - Jade and I both have very different taste in "heartbreak" songs.

I'm inclined to pick emotive ballads by divas and perhaps, even morose dance ballads - eg. 'Girl Overboard' by Girls Aloud, 'Love Never Loved Me' by Geri or 'Heartbreak Make Me A Dancer' by Sophie Ellis-Bextor/Freemasons.
