Wandering Around the Supermarket, Wondering What Went Wrong: Transmission 193, 2015 March 17

"Ahoy!" here is a program from the not too distant past. I wish I had something useful to say about it but it has been rough lately, yo. Very difficult to formulate any coherent thoughts, what with work and family bearing down on me, not nec. in bad ways, just that everything consumes time.

Speaking of which, Beyond Time is a most welcome return for 23 Skidoo. [And no, I haven't had a chance to watch the DVD yet, so no comments on what is probably an awesome film.] I have enjoyed this band's music since before I started doing radio, which was a long time ago, you guys. 23 Skidoo have my permission to keep making records for as long as they like!

You know what, though? John from Time Spent Listening is right--social media is pathological. We lost four passengers from the Facebook page within 24 hours of this program's airing. It has taken me this long to stop blaming myself and conclude that these four must have been the sort of "judges at a high school talent show" that my program has always been designed to offend. Thanks, to the rest of you, for staying onboard.
