How Long Have You Had This Plan: Transmission 441, 2019 January 2

2019 is off to a typical start. A couple of minutes into the Die Wilde Jagd tune, my hand slips and triggers a corny effect in our audio software. "I could talk myself into it being part of the track," says DJ Drew, helpfully--he is still hanging around the studio for some reason. Anyway, I can tell you that this is the first in a series of early-in-show disasters. This will be our thing for this year. Later on, my laptop decides that a an audio notification is just the thing to spice up "True Heart." I sometimes feel old when I am telling "the kids" about "the old days" of radio when we just played vinyl, but those computer-free days were objectively better.

At least this year is off to a better start than 2018. I am not sick, and this episode is not garbage. The segue into Bauhaus was maybe not great, but Causa Sui was sublime! I cannot say "Aloysius," but are my struggles with enunciation worse than Liz Fraser's gobbledygook? "Santa sashimi" is what Lady Catharsis thinks she is singing during that song, which, if true, would be among her best lyrics. It's just a smooth program without much incident, highly desirable after our terrible late summer / early autumn and our absolutely bonkers December. Happy new year!
