From Luxury to Landfill: Transmission 378, 2017 November 8

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

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.

Join the Queue of Future Has-Beens: Transmission 376, 2017 October 25

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

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.

In Fact This Is Very Serious; I Have Nothing To Regret: Transmission 374, 2017 October 11

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

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

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.

One of the Perks of Being a Radio Personality: Transmission 371, 2017 September 23

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.

Mundane by Day, Inane at Night: Transmission 370, 2017 September 20

Welcome to the final Bombast of the "summer." I'm flying solo on this regular Wednesday night broadcast--I fear that this disclaimer becomes more urgent with every guest appearance by Junior. (It would be nice if someone were to say whether they still enjoyed the "basic" thing I do every week). Seemingly, I was enjoying myself on this night, and it comes through! That story about Anthony the Resident Advisor, which I share after the Sisters of Mercy tune, had to come out--it's been bugging me for 30 years that only I could spot the resemblance.

Are there any other unresolved grudges that I use this program to solve, you wonder? No, although the chronic issue--maybe Junior has something to do with this too--is What It All Amounts To. I have speculated about this before, and felt confidence in at least one prior theory, but the doubt is strong. It doesn't help when my therapist asks me what the value of self-expression is and I don't have an answer. Is that Buddhist? Or am I just really, really slow in figuring it out?

Send Flowers, Please: Transmission 369, 2017 September 16

The attached program is what people call a "grower." I remember it being fun to do, but it took a couple of playbacks for me to appreciate its merits, "properly." Perhaps the vault doesn't beckon, but if this were your only mixtape from me, you'd prefer it over silence, unless you wouldn't. It doesn't even have "Physical Evidence" or a "Listening Parlour" interlude, and yet it still features wild stylistic swings and changes in tempo and rhythm. And, of course, the usual mistakes.

I had spent the day editing sound files, shopping for records, and watching the "juggalos vs nazis" event down in DC unfold on Twitter--not that any of this is necessarily audible in the program. But I thought you might like subtext. I don't often think about what others might like! Appreciate this.
