Before God, What Kind of Thing Is It? Transmission 235, 2015 September 15

Hello again, radio friends. It's a new day, and I bring you a new sound file. As I try to feel better about myself today than I did yesterday, I can assure you that I feel better about this program than the last one I posted. Sometimes a program has to overcome: this one, in particular, was another "early evening" fill-in; I didn't think the occasion merited a "Physical Evidence" segment, so there was none; it was "playlist reporting" time, making the optimal strategy that of playing the fewest, longest tracks I could. And yet.

Sometimes it is just really satisfying to spin a long record, and ease back in the "captain's chair" with nothing to do but listen. This was a good night, company in the station notwithstanding. Life is never free of drama, but volume knobs can always be cranked. "Without Mercy," "Lucy Conrad," and "Hydro" sound especially good loud. You're welcome.
