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.
