Tuesday Oct 31, 2017
This broadcast is full of mistakes, some staged and some spontaneous. It is true, what I say about the Internet reminding me that October 25 is the date on which John Peel died; also true is my implication that "planning" to play a John Peel session on this night was a happy accident. But it's all downhill from there. "30 years ago"--not 13? And no correction? Ugh. "4 A's AT Maida Vale?" How long have I owned this record? Additional miscues can be found on the tape. I won't go on about this.
Last time out I complained about the absence (or tardiness, if you're feeling generous) of autumn. Now, it's here with a vengeance--rain, flooding, winds, slippery decaying leaves stuck to everything. And cyclical death is in the air. Station management is sending messages of doom and panic at every opportunity. Who knows how dire things really are, or how long the endgame might take to unfold. Watch and see if things get more chestnutty around here--that will be a sign.

Where People Feel No Anguish and Need No Hate: Transmission 375, 2017 October 18
Tuesday Oct 24, 2017
Tuesday Oct 24, 2017
Please find attached a program that is dark and nocturnal--they are not the same thing, but both qualities are here. And herein I burn through my last remaining piece of Physical Evidence having to do with A Certain Ratio. Surely there are more, in the world. I just don't happen to own any of them. Were you under the impression that this program was about anything other than my collection, my taste, me? You have my deepest apologies.
Autumn hasn't been very autumnal around here. Usually at this time of year I am quite preoccupied with some act of self-sabotage, but for various reasons--is it weather? Or my new meds?--that doesn't seem to be happening. IT IS VERY DISORIENTING. I actually found myself feeling good about this program, in real time. And it is indeed good, "me-ness" be damned.

Now is the time to listen to us, as we are on a good run. I exude confidence, or whatever comes closest to it on my emotional palette, when I suggest that Mathew Johnson might compensate for an abandoned Chaka Khan track. With apologies to Mathew Johnson, I was mistaken about this--what could compensate?--but this program is close to the dream. I even got--and fulfilled!--a request from someone, dare I say, outside the ill-defined demographic. I initially thought they were asking for something called "Big Far," which really should exist, but Big Star will do nicely (though I must say, despite knowing what the lyrics of "For You" say, Third seems to me a record for December, not October).
"Lucid Dreaming"--it's happening.

Question Sessions over Cakes and Coffee: Transmission 373, 2017 October 4
Tuesday Oct 17, 2017
Tuesday Oct 17, 2017
Another week, another well-executed program. That is a rare thing for me to be able to say, so you know damn well I am going to say it. I did well on this night. Was it well-conceived, though? That is a tougher call. The "vintage rave-type stuff" feels quite dated, but then so am I, and self-expression is one of the station's stated values. The exception is "Palatial," which is, forgive me, majestic. I do believe this is the third time I have played it, which might be enough, unless you think 1 spin per 124 episodes is ok, in which case, see you at transmission 500 or so.
I managed to cut down on the "dad jokes" and pedantry, at least a bit, but I do complain seriously about not knowing how I am getting my hands on the Lost Horizons album. (It could be any album--there's a backlog of exquisitely-packaged reissues waiting vainly for me to buy them.) Money is tight, yo. I am getting by on freebies and internet magic. In other news, my mental health professional is referring to me as "an object of therapeutic fascination," which I think is a fancy and nice way of saying I am a piece of work. Where is the lie, I ask you? I wonder if there is publishing in this; it would be nice to wind up in print.

Noodle and Man Are Separated by a Comma: Transmission 372, 2017 September 27
Tuesday Oct 10, 2017
Tuesday Oct 10, 2017
Can retirement be far off? I wonder about this in more than one context. On the attached sound file, I sound at times like I'm making Dad jokes, for which I am qualified, but the execution is nevertheless poor. Elsewhere, I wax extremely "pedantic" about men, noodles, and love. At least I know at the time that I am going off the rails. That's something, right?
To think I fancied writing a book a little over a year ago! God, would I need an editor, and I am not in a position to hire one. You're stuck with these diary entries. The universe is merciful to us all.
Anyway, this is the best-executed program we have had in a while, so that is also something. PLUS, I actually did my research during the program! Though I must concede that I am only about 80% sure that Robbie Shakespeare actually plays on the Revolutionaries album. And to think I used to consider Factory Records less than forthcoming with personnel credits on their records.

Here is the penultimate broadcast of a very busy September, in which we used up our allotted memory at ye olde podcast site, and then some! Junior is my copilot on this night, though she declined to spin a record and retreated to "mere" commentary. I fear that she is growing bored with radio, and/or with me. This saddens me, not just because my daughter is growing up, but because she is a good radio person and getting better. It's about CONTENT.
DJ Midwife (aka Kristi) may or may not have been "doing good things in the world" on this night, which gave us the opportunity to synth you out here. However, I can find no confirmation of any "good things" in my email. I must have had her confused with somebody else! But surely it is a good sign that I think the best of other people.
Oh, and Hoga Nord is from Sweden, of course.
