Happy "Throwback Thursday," everyone. Remember last month? Man, seems like not much time has passed. Anyway, here is an early-evening show that I did as a fill-in. For once, in the "Joe Show" time slot, I tried to emulate his "After Dinner Dance Party" feature and played half an hour of Orbital. Elsewhere, there are miscues and horrible segues and not nearly enough of Felix Da Housecat [SORRY]. But this audio file is what happened that night.
It is a weird, dark time. This week, for once, I have been feeling not my own mortality but WRFI's. Everybody in community radio is worried about money, and death is always hanging over just about every station. Strangely I was/am at peace with it. People and ideals are falling by the wayside. Just last night I found out that a respected colleague is on "indefinite hiatus" for reasons that are unknown and probably none of my business. And there are signs, like this sound file right here, that I am on the air much too often.
These days I am trying really hard to love myself, be happy, and be nice. How would I grade myself on this? "Incomplete," probably.
