Unaware, Certainly, of Some Imminent Disaster: Transmission 309, 2016 November 30

Here begins my current run of not flaking out on airdates, and also not being pre-empted. From this vantage point, so far, so good. Perhaps the general zeitgeist is furnishing me with enough anger to broadcast with competence--or maybe the inconsistency of my schedule has rendered me unfamiliar enough with the control booth for me to be immune to complacency. Whichever it is, I can testify that you are in good hands with this program. Maybe a bit too much from the Blog That Celebrates Itself, about which I can only say that I'm not receiving any kickbacks.

I don't know why or how we wound up with Siouxsie as a featured performer on this night, but again, maybe the zeitgeist has something to do with that. Speaking of which--30 years ago Friend of Bombast Mr. D and I shared a dorm room, and he had a cassette of Nocturne, which was on Heavy Rotation [if I recall correctly I also had Tinderbox and Once Upon a Time]. This should probably have made my recent "Teen Top Ten" list (that thing on Facebook that everyone was doing a week or so ago) but I didn't want to "backload" my list with cool stuff I was listening to in my late teens. Honesty is our policy. Nevertheless I remember Siouxsie annoying the hell out of our neighbors, but what were we going to do--sit on our hands and listen to the Van Halen* and Eddie Money enjoyed by the other residents of Gilmore Hall?
