Validate What You Create: Transmission 461, 2019 April 23

I swear to god I will never be "good" at social media. Maybe it is because I am too old and maybe it is because I have lost the ability to master things, but I "lose" people and transactions for the dumbest and most unfathomable of reasons. This time it was over a discussion about Spotify and its connection to our station's "DJ" software which we are using, perhaps illicitly, as airplay software. It has always struck me as odd that nonprofit radio stations should pay any kind of royalties for doing artists the favor of publicizing their music, but that is a concession I have made in my dotage and tiredness. But to think that playing shoddy mp3 files on an "unauthorized" platform is a violation of some terms and conditions, and that Spotify stans on Twitter would "enforce" these for free, is completely beyond me. Consider me corncobbed. Add to this the fact that Lady C and I had an offer for a house rejected in favor of someone who threw down a quarter million dollars in cash, and that there was yet another station meeting prior to this program in which I felt thoroughly disrespected, and it was a "blastedly awful" day.

Anyway, this surprise edition of the program earned me a couple of nice interactions with local proprietor "Drummer John" who appreciated Cosey Fanni Tutti and Blind Idiot God. He told me I was helping him transcend. Transcend what I don't know. But if that isn't the point of all this I don't have a clue what is.
