It was good timing that William DeVaughn's "Be Thankful" had been reissued, because I was feeling thankful on this night. I was feeling so much thankfulness, I guess, that I needed to play three versions of it. Or maybe that is just my craving for repetition. Anyway, that happened, and somewhere in the mess Cavern of Anti-Matter manifested itself as well A special evening!
I've taken on new work, you see, that at least part of the time allows me to exist in this century, and not some far-off time. It's quite refreshing! This century is actually pretty decent.
As I write this the Senior Catharses are in town. Grandpa Catharsis was trying to remember the other night which WRFI personalities he'd met. He remembered Jim Murphy, which is a good memory to retain, and somehow blocked out our accidental encounter with tinfoil-hat-wearing, rabbit-hole dwelling "outside the box" thinker Joey Dugan when he slept through half of his show this one time. I'm jealous. I remember all of that, and meanwhile I've got whole chunks of years that I can't remember. It's not fair. I'm withholding some of my gratitude--sorry, Oprah--until I get the obliviousness I deserve.

It's Going To Be The Usual Wild Ride, Mrs. Toad: Transmission 275, 2016 April 27

Thursday May 19, 2016
Here we find ourselves broadcasting on schedule, or at least according to our "obligation" [NB I am still a volunteer and very grateful to have airtime--thank you, mgmt!]. Sure enough, our focus game was on fleek this evening. This does not stop mediocrity from crashing the party.
For once this appears in the form of other people, specifically someone we'll call "the substitute" [you'll have to listen to the sound file for "clues," yo]. This person had filled in for DJ Andrea--thinking they'd left a cd in one of the decks, they pressed "eject" and interrupted my first track--sorry, Essaie Pas!--and forced a restart. DON'T PRESS MY BUTTONS. ONLY I PRESS THE BUTTONS. People don't learn. I have dealt with this person's technical incompetence many a time. God give me the confidence and complacency of an underqualified white man.
Anyway, as I said, *I* did pretty well, all things considered. Drummer John called in and had a bunch of requests, which I did my best to oblige. You have him to thank for "Bela Lugosi's Dead" [or blame, if you happen to be my Program or Music Director from three decades ago].
[Yes, I still get the feeling I'm being supervised.]

Another fill-in opportunity, this time for "Exterior Realms" and DJ Penelope, another program without features, another scoop of unregulated trail mix, and another recording with notes. I hope you appreciated the previous one. Here's what I have:
"More vocal numbers in this program. It's going well even though I am in a desperate mood." [I WAS. Personal issues.]
"I don't understand how this works." [I DON'T. This is why I'm not a professional.]
"The segue into "Like a Chicken" shouldn't have worked but did." [Happy accidents!]
"So many words." [I don't remember whether I was referring to some vocalist or myself. I hope this has been edifying!]

Normal Wednesday Night Service resumes! And, in my pursuit of Excellence in Content and Technique, I took notes on this broadcast. I thought I would share them with you. Here goes:
"I am sighing, eating dinner during the show, choking on phlegm, it's ugly and sloppy." [It's all true--I am overcoming something in the phlegm department; as I have said in the past I work out before my program, and sometimes buy a sandwich, and this was one of those nights, and it is ALWAYS UGLY AND SLOPPY, I don't even know why I bothered writing that down.]
"I don't talk enough, not like Roger Smith. He is a teacher. I have nothing to teach anymore." [Haha, also true! You should listen to Roger Smith and "Crazy Words, Crazy Tune," Monday nights at 7pm. I have promised that no one will learn anything from my program, so at least I am keeping my word.]
"That is a long story." [Yes, yes it is.]
"I don't feel like talking, it is all very tired sounding. almost the entire show is instrumental. is this the sound of old age?" [Probably, but did you not wonder what the sound of old age was? OH NO HAVE I ACTUALLY TAUGHT YOU SOMETHING]
More notes to come, with the next program! I feel more excellent already!

Today I hate everyone and everything, so I thought I might lighten my mood by posting something. YOU'RE WELCOME. The "something" is a program I did on pretty short notice (was it an emergency? probably an emotional one, knowing me). I wanted to hear some A Certain Ratio, I know this, and there wasn't much more to it.
What happened in this program? You probably already know--carefully curated segues that nevertheless went awry, some scrambling toward the end, a general clusterfuffle of an evening. At least we got to hear a different version of "Flight" than the standard, which for reasons I'm not ready to discuss I have always associated with a bad personal decision. Oh, and I managed to call our friend Mr. D something I don't think he's ever been called, though he should have.
I'm feeling better now, but only just.
