Asterisks in My Eyelids: Transmission 379, 2017 November 15

Lately I have been thinking a good deal about negativity--what its uses might be, what it says about the bearer, what it does to the soul. Depression has such a strong hold on me these days! But this is somewhat true of all days, my dear Bombasticons. Sometimes I even doubt that this program nourishes me, though I can't imagine life without it. And I might have to--a "little bird" tells me that our recent fundraiser generated some 20% of the station's annual budget. Should I rue the missing 80% or take delight that people love us enough to give what they gave? Should I borrow future grief over programs that won't air or should I be grateful that I have done nearly 400 of these?
Musical notes: that Durutti record, though legendary, arrived in awful shape for a new record--so much for ambivalence about negativity! But seriously, what is wrong with vinyl these days? I have had a couple of similar experiences recently. Segues--who gives a toss? In this program they are fairly bad, and hopefully the songs compensate for that.

From Luxury to Landfill: Transmission 378, 2017 November 8
Tuesday Nov 21, 2017
Tuesday Nov 21, 2017
If fundraising programs mark the beginning of a programming year, may I welcome you to the first "normal" program of the new year. Our form was mostly good on this night, save for playing the wrong Vic Chesnutt track. We are at the point in our lives where we realize we are simply never going to improve at certain things. If only this realization came with a feeling of calm!.
In hindsight, this night was an observance, though no appropriate planning went into it. Some years ago, November 8 marked the final night of a previous life. You might call it "another brown world!" Anyway, that's gone. What remains is the shallow-affect person who runs this corner of the broadcasting world. At least he has decent taste.

Catharsis Family Values: Transmission 377, 2017 November 1
Friday Nov 17, 2017
Friday Nov 17, 2017
Welcome to Festival of Evidence v4.0! It has been two years since we did this--my time slot during last year's fundraiser coincided with an awful presidential debate (if that is not a redundancy)--and it is definitely worth the wait. The entire Bombast crew is here, with fundraising specialist Godfrey on "the other side of the partition," and a good time is had by all. We even managed to make some money on this night.
Notes: it still embarrasses me, two and a half weeks later, that I accidentally played Siouxsie twice. I did manage to explain "Milkshake Duck" to Godfrey but we have not gotten around to explaining "family values" or "Stranger Things" to Junior, which is probably for the best. I may have gotten my recollection of John Peel's death wrong in my tiresome anecdote. That would not surprise me at all. I don't remember who was actually on the air the night he died. I should really stop telling stories, or at least make some new ones.
