Melt the House, Wake the World: Transmission 487, 2019 October 9

There's this thing I do called "letting one bad moment ruin an entire program for me." In this case it's an otherwise terrific Breakwater song: I can't get over how bad the segues around it were. Currently I'm trying to rationalize my summer "paradigm shift" by telling myself that I was trying to break free of the show's initial construct, "being about segues." And by "trying to rationalize" I really mean "lying about." I don't conceive of things that well anymore, if I ever did.

Since this program aired, 110 days ago now, I've gone on the air 20 times. I'm currently editing a broadcast from 47 days ago--7 shows ago.

"Somehow" I wound up doing eight programs in October, and I have been telling myself that in this month they started being good again. I'm not yet convinced! "Don't Stay Out Late" has an appalling lyric and I shouldn't have played it. This transmission, while too good to have been the low point, was probably the breaking point. After this I would turn back to Old Methods. That's a story for next time.
