In the Absence of Better Explanations: Transmission 268, 2016 March 23

Supposedly, I have an opportunity to become wistful about "the way things used to be." Just a few years ago, it seems, I could juggle several responsibilities at once--"multitask," as the kids say. This program provides evidence that I can't do that, or at least that I couldn't on this night. My real job intruded on my pastime, my plans for the evening changed, phone calls needed making, and we would up with the awful result of two Flying Saucer Attack songs being played.

However, I am not going to take advantage of this opportunity. Perhaps not for the best of reasons--my back catalogue is full of mistake-riddled programs. But I have listened back to this one, and it was time well spent, not nearly as atrocious as I thought.

Forgiveness, though, as my counselor tells me, is a process requiring changed behavior over time, so I still need to work on being better, and on pardoning myself.

Me, A Machine, And My Obsession: Transmission 267, 2016 March 16

Live albums seem to polarize people, for reasons I don't understand. "I don't like listening to people clap for things that happened when I wasn't there," I seem to recall a friend writing. Friend: if you're reading this, rest assured that the clapping on "Live At The Venue" is not very audible! Still, I love this recording, bootleggy though it may be.

In a previous life, I "did" live performance and I had/have some hangups about the recording of it. Not the paranoid hangups--I don't mind there being documentary evidence that I did a thing in a place at a time--but simply the aversion to watching / hearing myself do / say things in the past. The laws of space / time suggest that there are places where the past is always happening, but I don't have to visit those places! HOWEVER, I have no philosophical issues with recordings of OTHER people. Is this hypocritical, or just blithe? I'm going with the latter.

For damn sure I don't have any serious feelings about the ontology of live tapes. I'm fine with their being whatever the performers want them to be.

Everything Goes, Anything Goes, All of the Time: Transmission 266, 2016 March 9

This has been a lost month. I've been in a fog of whatever. Vague recollections of creative projects fallen by the wayside litter the corners of my mind, but I've been busy with something, I guess, with only just enough time to churn out live radio programs until this point. Has anyone missed me? I wonder.

Anyway, there's a ton of good stuff in this show that happened a few weeks back, and some voice-over adventures. During one of these I came face-to-face with my own mental slowness, which is hard, but necessary, I guess. Also, Drummer John called in with a couple of requests that I was able to satisfy. These things are the good kind of chaos.

Slurry Tonight: Transmission 265, 2016 March 2

Here is a program I did on a cold night, and probably in a bad mood--though I did take heart when DJ Andrea, hearing the U-Men track that begins the show, said to me, "You contain multitudes." I haven't believed it for a long time, but maybe I do!

It is odd to hear how well the Amphetamine Reptile stuff and the shoegaze-y stuff sit alongside one another. Perhaps the early 90s were just a big stupid time for big stupid chords. If you want deeper thoughts, read Simon Reynolds or something; I am not wise enough to socio-historicize this.

Missed opportunity: I really should have played the Cocteau Twins' song called "Dear Heart" [not a Mrs. Miller cover]. I have played it before, but I seem to be into repetitive experiences.

Cruising Altitude Departure 17, 2015 June 27

[GUEST POST]

Captain Halcyon, again. Here is a rare morning program from last summer. I am afraid I may not have been what the "Radio Days" audience was looking for, but I am also fairly certain we didn't trouble anyone too much. Not troubling people is a thing this program has succeeded at, so far.

Does morning ambiance differ from afternoon ambiance in some meaningful way? Only you can decide that for yourself. I feel like it did, in this case, I would welcome the chance to try this again.

I do remember feeling lonely in the cockpit, though, now that I reflect on it. I am routinely alone but often content in that state. This time was different. Perhaps I should have encouraged requests, risky though that might have been.

Maybe someday.

A Place in Space-Time Where It Is Still and Always 1987: Transmission 264, 2016 February 24

Technical notes: there were some well-conceived segues in this dynamic broadcast. The airplay computer was doing a new and weird thing wherein it was squelching the beginning of all of Junior's voiceovers. It sounds really, really dumb, and doesn't get better. Sorry about that.

Diary: in the early days of the internet, before Discogs was a thing, I probably spent more time hunting a copy of the Nightlands compilation than any other record I own. It's not even on "heavy rotation" in my life--it was and is simply a core memory. At least that is what I decided at some point, so I had to have it. I owned an old issue of Music From the Empty Quarter, in about 1991 or 1992, which contained a mail-order listing including this record. "Fool, you should have bought it then," I would tell myself. I don't speak nicely to myself.

I finally found a copy on the now defunct GEMM.com. Its owner was this weird but nice lady in Montreal who took FOREVER in getting it to me--she wanted my assurance that this record would be getting a good home. She wanted correspondence. I had never before, and have not since, auditioned to own a recording. [Wait, that is not exactly true, but I will get in trouble for discussing it here.] Anyway, Lady Catharsis can testify that every morning before sunrise, on our walk to the bus stop, I would grumble incessantly about this record and how it wasn't in my hands yet even though I had paid for it. It was getting depressing. I was losing my ability to function. This is one of my many failures as a professional.

She can also testify that I am just "like that" when it comes to mail order. It may not be for me. I want things RIGHT DAMN NOW. I am currently awaiting about a half-dozen "gifts" that have been so long in coming that I'm not even sure I will be able to enjoy them when they arrive.

By comparison, the new 2XLP of Blue Moon got here in a hurry, and it is thoroughly enjoyable!

[GUEST POST]

Captain Halcyon reporting. This is an April Fools' program that caught everyone by surprise. Listeners were meant to hear a local program about making "abundance," or something like that, but were treated to another kind of vacuity altogether. I did what I could--I was working on short notice.

It pleases me to listen back to this program, nearly a year later, in another sunlit time. The "dream" of this program, as it were, is herein realized--this is not the only instance, just the most recent one. Kid Catharsis, my gracious host at this podcast site, tells me that he thinks my show is better than his. From him it's a rare compliment--he never seems to have nice things to say about anyone.

A guest graced the studio during this broadcast--I don't think you can hear the extra person, but through some kind of magic an extra presence should nevertheless influence this outing.

Guy here. I'm feeling angry these days and would like to get to a post-angry state. But I am stuck taking my anger for reality because I believe in the reality of my anger.

It was probably this way when this program aired, but I was not articulating it to myself or anyone else. There is a relentlessness in what I do that can be taken as hedonism or sadism. Weighing in is not a thing I will do; it is part of your freedom, in case you didn't already know, to make your own decision.

I do think that I rendered all the artist names correctly this time out, so we can strike that from the list of things to be upset about.

Guy here. A space had opened on this Valentine's Day, what with everyone seemingly busy--representing affection through acts of compulsory consumption, subjecting themselves to forced entertainment, and so on. You know--the usual.

On this outing I don't know what I was trying to do--perhaps combining the familiar with the novel. It's useful enough, if we allow for different values of "useful." I have done better, and I have done worse.
 
Finally, on this program I was headed for a desirable state of non-symmetry, when DJ Danelectro got trapped on the highway. In an act of laziness and cowardice I embraced my entrapment and played an extra tune. Can we only go where the traffic goes?

Guy here. I go wherever instinct leads me. On this broadcast it led me back to familiar territory, but whenever I drift, I drift differently. Circular beats, not circular time.

Speaking of which--it was sometime around the airing of this program that it was established, once and for all, that this program had pop-up status, as opposed to being a regular fixture. Predictability is alright for some. But surprise is a key element of my assault on boredom, and anything that repeats on a calendar feels like work. I never work.

If you want a picture of the future, imagine my being on the air--or not on the air--you never know--forever.
