If I Could Just Explain the Way My Mind Is: Transmission 483, 2019 September 18

Another week, another realization that last week's transmission was a false dawn. I spent late summer (and surely some of early fall) thinking I'd found the bottom, but I will surprise you with how low I can go. My all-too-comprehensible agenda rolls on, flattening all indicators of quality. But I'm determined to share everything here, so share this I will. I don't know, it's probably worth hearing, once, just to say you did?

Specifically, from the notes: I screwed up the transition to Carlton and the Shoes; my levels were all over the place; I seemed to hit a stride for a while but then "had to play" Ivan Black right after Ike and Tina. In my defense, the show gets fairly good after that point, but in the first hour nothing makes sense to me and I wonder if it ever did. Look, whomst among us has never made, or been, a conceptual mess? Really? None of you? Ok, never mind.
