July 2009 Archives

Continuing with the radio playlists... this show marked my first visit to the WPRB studios in 2009 and also my first foray into hosting the "Top Ten Show."  I didn't include that hour in my playlist (as I had no control over it), but let's just say it was an experience.

This particular program had some outstanding highs, particularly my remembering to play Pegboy (as a tribute to the closing of Touch & Go's P&D arm) and the unreal segue between RTFO Bandwagon and Broadcast. It also had a weak finish, between the mind-bending "Lesbian Seagull" and the unfortunate appearance of the DJ following my show -- he plugged in a laptop, futzed with the turntable mixer while I was still playing albums, and completely failed to acknowledge the existence of a massive record library just outside the studio door.  Even the Thin Lizzy closer couldn't quite save the day for me.

... cause I've been here for years ...

Admittedly, I've got some serious catching-up to do, so I'll start with the radio efforts.

I was quite happy with this show, my most recent appearance on WPRB. I would try to call out some highlights, but really the best part was the overall flow of the show. Full details and annotations after the jump...
