[edit] The R3-30

The single "Ventriloquist Love" reached the #1 spot on CBC Radio 3's The R3-30 chart on January 4, 2007 [1], and was named one of the network's Top 94 Tracks of 2006 [2].

The R3-30 traditionally announces each week's biggest chart dropper with a descending slide whistle tone. After "Ventriloquist Love" dropped from #9 to #19 the week of January 19, 2007 [3], resulting in use of the slide whistle, the band humorously criticized R3-30 host Craig Norris' musical abilities, challenging him to record a whole song on slide whistle. After Norris published a lighthearted apology on the CBC Radio 3 site, Fabergé subsequently released an audio retort which included three short sarcastic songs about Norris by Maylee Todd, Dan Werb and Fabergé himself.
