Another Day Is Done, And We're Eating Our Wages Again: Transmission 211, 2015 June 3

"I'm doing too many shows," I confessed to Grandpa Catharsis the other day. "I'm worried about running out of music." "Don't let that happen," he told me. "Reach back into the archives. The 90s. Play some Smashing Pumpkins or something." Ouch. I was never a fan and they are not in "the archives." He had to be thinking of DJ Segundo, who was a fan, once. I guess that happens in families.

In high school Segundo and I both did lunchtime shows on the mighty KDHR, an unlicensed radio station that served the school quad and, supposedly, houses within about a 1-block radius (was that even legal? anyway...). His time was later than mine, as I discovered later still; at some point when I was a dj and he was not I borrowed his copy of the 1981-1982 EP to play on my show, without asking. He was quite bemused. With this program I try to repay an old karmic debt.
