Gangster Whitewalls, TV Antenna In The Back: Transmission 276, 2016 May 04

It was good timing that William DeVaughn's "Be Thankful" had been reissued, because I was feeling thankful on this night. I was feeling so much thankfulness, I guess, that I needed to play three versions of it. Or maybe that is just my craving for repetition. Anyway, that happened, and somewhere in the mess Cavern of Anti-Matter manifested itself as well A special evening!

I've taken on new work, you see, that at least part of the time allows me to exist in this century, and not some far-off time. It's quite refreshing! This century is actually pretty decent.

As I write this the Senior Catharses are in town. Grandpa Catharsis was trying to remember the other night which WRFI personalities he'd met. He remembered Jim Murphy, which is a good memory to retain, and somehow blocked out our accidental encounter with tinfoil-hat-wearing, rabbit-hole dwelling "outside the box" thinker Joey Dugan when he slept through half of his show this one time. I'm jealous. I remember all of that, and meanwhile I've got whole chunks of years that I can't remember. It's not fair. I'm withholding some of my gratitude--sorry, Oprah--until I get the obliviousness I deserve.

It's Going To Be The Usual Wild Ride, Mrs. Toad: Transmission 275, 2016 April 27

Here we find ourselves broadcasting on schedule, or at least according to our "obligation" [NB I am still a volunteer and very grateful to have airtime--thank you, mgmt!]. Sure enough, our focus game was on fleek this evening. This does not stop mediocrity from crashing the party.

For once this appears in the form of other people, specifically someone we'll call "the substitute" [you'll have to listen to the sound file for "clues," yo]. This person had filled in for DJ Andrea--thinking they'd left a cd in one of the decks, they pressed "eject" and interrupted my first track--sorry, Essaie Pas!--and forced a restart. DON'T PRESS MY BUTTONS. ONLY I PRESS THE BUTTONS. People don't learn. I have dealt with this person's technical incompetence many a time. God give me the confidence and complacency of an underqualified white man.

Anyway, as I said, *I* did pretty well, all things considered. Drummer John called in and had a bunch of requests, which I did my best to oblige. You have him to thank for "Bela Lugosi's Dead" [or blame, if you happen to be my Program or Music Director from three decades ago].

[Yes, I still get the feeling I'm being supervised.]

Uniquely, Completely, Imperially Alone: Transmission 274, 2016 April 23

Another fill-in opportunity, this time for "Exterior Realms" and DJ Penelope, another program without features, another scoop of unregulated trail mix, and another recording with notes. I hope you appreciated the previous one. Here's what I have:

"More vocal numbers in this program. It's going well even though I am in a desperate mood." [I WAS. Personal issues.]

"I don't understand how this works." [I DON'T. This is why I'm not a professional.]

"The segue into "Like a Chicken" shouldn't have worked but did." [Happy accidents!]

"So many words." [I don't remember whether I was referring to some vocalist or myself. I hope this has been edifying!]

A Determination Will Be Made As To Why That Occurred: Transmission 273, 2016 April 20

Normal Wednesday Night Service resumes! And, in my pursuit of Excellence in Content and Technique, I took notes on this broadcast. I thought I would share them with you. Here goes:

"I am sighing, eating dinner during the show, choking on phlegm, it's ugly and sloppy." [It's all true--I am overcoming something in the phlegm department; as I have said in the past I work out before my program, and sometimes buy a sandwich, and this was one of those nights, and it is ALWAYS UGLY AND SLOPPY, I don't even know why I bothered writing that down.]

"I don't talk enough, not like Roger Smith. He is a teacher. I have nothing to teach anymore." [Haha, also true! You should listen to Roger Smith and "Crazy Words, Crazy Tune," Monday nights at 7pm. I have promised that no one will learn anything from my program, so at least I am keeping my word.]

"That is a long story." [Yes, yes it is.]

"I don't feel like talking, it is all very tired sounding. almost the entire show is instrumental. is this the sound of old age?" [Probably, but did you not wonder what the sound of old age was? OH NO HAVE I ACTUALLY TAUGHT YOU SOMETHING]

More notes to come, with the next program! I feel more excellent already!

You Can't Tell If It's Your Birthday Or You're Getting Fired: Transmission 272, 2016 April 17

Today I hate everyone and everything, so I thought I might lighten my mood by posting something. YOU'RE WELCOME. The "something" is a program I did on pretty short notice (was it an emergency? probably an emotional one, knowing me). I wanted to hear some A Certain Ratio, I know this, and there wasn't much more to it.

What happened in this program? You probably already know--carefully curated segues that nevertheless went awry, some scrambling toward the end, a general clusterfuffle of an evening. At least we got to hear a different version of "Flight" than the standard, which for reasons I'm not ready to discuss I have always associated with a bad personal decision. Oh, and I managed to call our friend Mr. D something I don't think he's ever been called, though he should have.

I'm feeling better now, but only just.

You're Floating Along, It's Hardly Worth Trying: Transmission 271, 2016 April 13

Once Again we have some catching up to do. How did this month disappear? (Maybe I am wrong to assume they don't all disappear in the same way.) Whatever--we'll begin with this episode, featuring a new single by whatever Keiran Hebden is calling himself and his crew. It is quality, but also dare I say directionless and maybe even implacable (not bad things!), a nice metaphor for this little radio adventure I have going.

It has been awhile since I listened to this, so I hope you can forgive the lack of specific recollections and the haziness of those that do exist. I remember feeling that the show went well, execution-wise, though I don't think Johnny Moped quite "fit," not that they would care. I remember "Fat" reminding me (in a good way) of Trisomie 21 and thinking that I need more T21 in my life. As always, there is no money or time. I remember thinking I needed to pronounce "Oblic" as "oblique" but that this was totally instinctive and without rational basis. Am I a snob for doing this and a slightly smaller snob for admitting it? Finally, there is not knowing what a "footjob" is and knowing I don't want to go that far. I am sadly basic.

U_D_M Detour 19, 2015 October 26

[GUEST POST]

Guy here. I did a couple of programs at the end of October. This is one. A captive of dead time might have said, "my schedule allowed me" to do a couple of programs; a poseur might have called it a "gentlemanly, cosmopolitan schedule." But I "keep it real." I do what I want, when I want. My schedule dictates not a thing.

It was nevertheless convenient that I was thrown off a middle-school bus chartered for a middle-school field trip to Quebec, on which I had tried to stow away. But these things will happen. You don't sulk. You make the best of it. I have already "been a lot of places, seen a lot of faces" anyway. It's those kids who are missing out.

Be Careful Where You Walk, And Don't Stare at the Stars: Transmission 270, 2016 April 6

It is a new month, with new energy and new freedom and new prospects. A certain Onion story is tempting me to link to it, but I still struggle with just how real I want this ongoing diary to be, in the end. At any rate, I do attach here a fine program featuring a fine record, even though the segues don't always live up to my expectations. That's okay. I AM LEARNING TO LOVE MYSELF.

I have an on-again / off-again semi-secret life as an amateur electrical engineer / hobbyist / noodler. There's a saying in those circles that within 10% of the desired value of anything is fine unless you're on the edge of a cliff. We've arrived at that point, with this episode, #270. "300" is the number of programs I would pretty much bet my life on having done at my old station; differences in program length notwithstanding that is the point at which it will start feeling as though this program, here, is the Real one. THERE IS NO NEED TO FEEL THIS WAY but I do nevertheless, and it is daunting. I am already comfortable saying this is the better one although it lacks the naivete and pure instinct that drove the old one. Still, it is my light and it produces happiness, I will not hide it, it will not always be my only light and it will not be a light of mine forever. But it is here, now, and I thank you for joining me on this ride.

Cruising Altitude Departure 18, 2015 September 20

[GUEST POST]

Captain Halcyon, checking in. Programs like the one in this post are what "Cruising Altitude" is all about: summery / autumnal late-afternoon sunshine and love. Press "play" and you will find satisfaction. If it is not already within you, your search is over.

There are not many more of these recordings, I daresay. I don't think there will be many more. This program has mostly been, and currently is, an impromptu adventure happening only when it can, and "when it can" is increasingly infrequent.

We Know This Is a Moment Lost in Normal Time: Transmission 269, 2016 March 30

With this program we say goodbye to a horrible March. It was a month full of psychotic weather and pathological behavior. I don't excuse myself from that (who is to say I don't control the weather?). Maybe once in five tries I got it together to have "Physical Evidence" and "The Listening Parlour." Things can only get better--that's what I have heard, anyway.

Personal notes: I recently got hold of a copy of Today by Galaxie 500--keeping up with the times, don't you know--and I don't think an album has "expressed me," lyrically, as much as this one does since, maybe, Hatful of Hollow. True story! Also, hey, I am learning to create "bubbles of relief" for myself in therapy, which is a good thing as long as you don't over-apply them. I have learned that the hard way. But may you find your own bubble of relief if you have not already done so!
