Bonjour, LeBatard here, “here” being an undisclosed location in the not-frozen North. I didn’t buy you anything for Christmas, but I do have this program from the somewhat distant past to share with you. It cost me more than you know.
Since I am a free spirit, I often occupy the booth alone, but on this night I am joined for the first and only time. My co-host’s name is Faustine de la Rue, and she is, twice over. She and I plow through a multifaceted soundtrack for hedonism and adventure. We also butcher the entertainment calendar, and I injure myself in the studio. IT IS A DANGEROUS LIFE.

"You need to figure out how to be nice to yourself." Both Lady Catharsis and my counselor tell me this, so I am guessing there is some truth to it. This will take some figuring, but I can start by saying this is a pretty good program, verbal gaffes notwithstanding.
I really, really embarrassed DJ Andrea with what I said about her program in the beginning. Were we joking? I'm not sure. I will say that everything I tell anyone about BOMBAST is meant to be repeated. I have no reservations about it. At any rate we do struggle to find an audience for our music programs at WRFI, stranded as we are between an older demographic that doesn't know how to use computers and a younger demographic that doesn't get its music from the radio. Is either demographic "white?" This is Ithaca, son. (...and Watkins Glen.)
BOMBAST has always strived to be music for depressed, middle-aged people of mixed race who may also suffer from anxiety and various "adaptive strategies" gone wrong. However many of us there are! I think we have succeeded, and I'm not even "being nice" to myself when I say that. I honestly think it is the truth.
As for repeating the words that other people say, I will strive to be better. "You had a thought," my counselor told me today, "but you didn't act on it." I don't always have to, except when I do.

Cruising Altitude Departure 13, 2014 November 8

Hello friends, it's me, the Captain. Or, let's say, "a" Captain. This life has taken many things away from me but I will always have that. Mind you, I don't always bring this up. It is irrelevant in most social contexts. Every now and then someone will address me in this way, taking me aback (and back). I try, like my colleagues at this site, to live in the present.
And yet: here is a departure from a year ago, posting just now, so it appears I am not doing such a good job. Apologies. It is hard work, my sinecure, my self-repair, and...other tasks. Anyway, this program was, I think, a transition out of an "earthy" phase I went through last fall. Every now and then I must remind myself, it seems, of my proper element. The goal is "pure ego life," whatever the Mattson 2 say.

Emergency Festivals Are Still Festive: Transmission 248, 2015 November 28

WELL, well well. Look at us, all caught up at last. Our newer, lazier schedule has reaped at least one benefit, thank goodness. Here is a program that happened on really short notice because DJ Kristi was sick a few nights ago. Because all critics become voices in my head, this felt like stealing, even although a hypothetical, objective observer (as elusive as the "frictionless surface" of elementary physics problems) might call this "helping."
As is often the case, I was multitasking, so you must take the good segues with the bad. Or not--I guess you could always find a more professional mixtape to listen to. I really did think "Rat Race" would work, and I didn't mean to screw up "Senses" as badly as I did. Finally, OF COURSE the last Joy Division song was "Twenty Four Hours," the ditty that launched a thousand bass tones--or is it one bass tone reiterated a thousand times? Anyway, a part of me knew this in the moment but managed to botch the backannouncing, as I always seem to.
I did manage to tae care of some "business" here, in Festival of Evidence v3.1, that I had meant to take care of a couple of weeks ago when we did the "real thing." But who's to say what's real?
