Gold Is the Sky in Concentrate: Transmission 291, 2016 July 20

Another day, another excursion--this is how we used to roll. Feels good! We continue our summer of fatigue, blurred vision, triggering, persistent stickiness, and more fatigue. Brush fires are coming next, I can just feel it.

Yes, I do play Coil quite often, but they are legends for a reason. We could do much worse, and we probably have! For whatever reason, I do not feel that they are "summer music," even though they sound good here. In fact I am waiting for two Coil records in the mail right at this moment, and as fate would have it, these may not be summer music, but that's yet another rant about mail order in the making.

I have observed that many of the used Coil records for sale on the internet come with "stained" covers. I shudder to imagine why, and with what.

Why the Grass Is Green and Why the Wind Is Never Seen: Transmission 290, 2016 July 16

We're falling back behind schedule again--now at 26 days, by my questionable math. Here is a Saturday night program that should probably not have been as long as it was, but I don't control things anymore. I was set to follow a roller-derby broadcast, which I thought might leave me just a few minutes of airtime after a long spell of babysitting an internet stream, but (mercifully? it was a crap bout and a rather disinterested play-by-play experience) we only broadcast one half of a doubleheader.

It was I and only I, though, who decided to use Life At The Top on a fill-in program rather than the usual Wednesday night hullabaloo. This record is, in post-Inside Out parlance, a "core memory" for me. Probably for several other KDVS alumni as well--I recall several of these tunes being used as promo underscoring in the mid-80s (I spent much time questing after this or that record that appeared in a radio ad back in the day).

Mistakes were made, but they are always made. Also, here's another program in which I felt compelled to respond to a Great One's death. 2016 can get in the sea, any minute now.

A Discontinuous Continuity: Transmission 289, 2016 July 13

Greetings, friends. Our posting is now a mere 22 days behind schedule. We are quickly approaching professionalism, and it's the kind for which you do not even have to pay! Let's not think about that too hard.

I really could have sworn that July was a month full of radio errors, but listening continues to tell me a different story. This is GOOD STUFF on the elliptical, or treadmill, or recumbent bike, or on a walk, or maybe just sitting around (I don't do much sitting around, so I would not know).

We've had 30 years to accept that we weren't going to hear any more music from Colourbox, but Steven Young's death finally made that a certainty, I guess. I loved those guys. Rest in Peace.

Hustlers Rustle and Pimps Pimp the Beat: Transmission 288, 2016 July 9

Here is another case of reality not matching my perception or recollection. I could have sworn this was a clusterfuffle of a program, but tell me where the mistakes are. I mean, other than the usual ones, involving taste and judgment.

There were several celebrity birthdays on this particular date. We do love our observances. Classic "Listening Parlour" stuff here: I would never of my own volition play any of the three songs Lady Catharsis chose for this night. Maybe this is the platonic ideal of this feature, right here.

And it *is* true that adolescent Lady Catharsis prayed for Bon Scott's soul the day she heard that he died. How could I not love someone who could do that?

We'll Do Better Next Time, I Promise: Transmission 287, 2016 July 6

We have basically reached the "one month behind schedule" milestone, which is uncharted territory for us. Earlier, I promised that we would see/hear some egregious mistakes, and I have to say that I am not sure this program fulfills that promise. A strange aspect of looking/listening back to these "tapes" is that of comedy equaling tragedy plus time, or, more accurately, a smiley-face equaling a sad face plus time.

There is a bad miscue early on, which undoubtedly clouded my overall impression of the entire show--I even allude to it--and some surprisingly dynamic tunes that get in the way of my voiceovers (or is it the other way around?). Then finally there is the Bauhaus tune, which I regret to say my parents did listen to despite my admonition. I lack authority in this world.

Gun For Hire, No Business Attire: Transmission 286, 2016 June 29

This was an odd(er than usual) program, but a good one. The Senior Catharses gave this one their hearty approval, for reasons which are not clear. But after the summer I have had, I am not one to look sideways at any kind remarks. What is it about summer?

I heard Captain Halcyon over the weekend. He did a tremendous program. Why can't that happen to me? It's been nothing but sloppiness, wall to wall, for about two months now. We haven't scratched the surface.

For some reason I decided that I would play 31 songs on this night, which seems way too many, although "Trace" and "Among Wolves" are worth the price of admission. (Admission is free, but you know what I mean.)

Feel Like A Soldier, Look Like A Thief: Transmission 285, 2016 June 22

Wow wow wow, you guys, I was getting nostalgic for a minute, as I am prone to do when the heat scrambles my brain, and I came across this post. It is sort of an anniversary--anniversaries, for me, are big things--and I thought I'd just, you know, check in with the past. ALMOST NEVER A GOOD IDEA.

What a strange mix of anger and naivete was there! And if only calm and wisdom had taken their place! But, for real, things are much better now that I can observe things at the station from afar. I do almost feel like a sage at times, though cynicism and self-concept will not permit it fully. I have also taken to calling myself "emeritus."

Re. the endgame of the program: nope, not happening any time soon. it's fine. Everything's fine.

Breakfast At Eric's: Transmission 284, 2016 June 18

This episode is another instance of life giving me just about what I deserve. I was filling in for "Exterior Realms" (as I do way too often these days) and DJ Midwife, whose show preceded mine, took it upon herself to spin my first record. This is standard operating procedure at the station by the way, and applies to everyone's program but mine, this exception being a source of confusion and bemusement to all. Launched into the the world without asking to be, I had no choice but to improvise my way forward. It WAS midwifery.

It was mostly going pretty well until I miscued a Smiths record, and after that I kind of didn't want to know. I'm not sure how many mistakes I made--after the first one it more or less doesn't matter. That is a DEEP PERSONAL ISSUE and I should get it examined.

A historical note: that Tinderbox album by Siouxsie and the Banshees is just really, really great. I remember this one falling through the cracks, as it were--the hardcore Siouxsie fans thinking it was too "pop," pop enthusiasts finding it too weird and depressing ("she doesn't even sing in tune," etc). Punk Rockers! Squares! You were all wrong about this! I am doing it right! Be more like me!

Come Inside And Be All You've Dreamed Of: Transmission 283, 2016 June 15

It seems a lifetime ago, but at some point in early-mid June I was scheduled to do a show on a Saturday evening, but I was meant not to. I don't mean to alarm anyone, but ever since then my programs have been a bit...erratic. This was the first such program.

Retreating into the familiar territory of the Volume series felt good; honestly, though, I never thought I would inhabit this place. I felt things took a downward turn at around issue 6, but it's probably 1993's fault and not the publication's.

"The Mirror" is probably my soundtrack for the summer and beyond, in case you were wondering. No? Well, you're welcome, regardless.

You Ain't Seen Nothing Till You've Seen the Invisible: Transmission 282, 2016 June 9

Time was, I would be D.T.B. ("Down To Broadcast"--yes, I know, my life is sad) at any time. Midnight, 7am, mid-afternoon, you name it. Now it seems I'm only comfortable in my "regular" time, late but not too late, nearly full darkness, one foot dangling off the edge of the pier at Safe Harbor. So it feels increasingly adventurous do shake things up and do radio at even a slightly different time, as I did for this dinnertime program.

Also, I used not to care for whom or what I was substituting. Can indifference be tiring? What a shock to my system that would be. Anyway, in some cases I have come to respect given programs and feel the gravity of replacing a certain host, or at least understand that a certain audience expecting a certain thing doesn't necessarily want my thing, and therefore stay away.

"I'm not clever like Joe," I say at one point during this program. If I recall correctly I used to think I was, but the world has taught me otherwise. At least I know good after-dinner dance music when I hear it. So there is some of that here.

Still, I doubt I picked up any new listeners with this program. I can't really be more than what I am.
