So, got pulled in, for the second fortnight in a row, as the handpicked replacement for DJ K-No (whose true identity is kind of an open secret around the station, but I guess I can reveal here that said gentleman was a key member of one of the greatest bands of the 1990's. That's right, Sweet 75.) "Interesting" "tidbits" about the show: 1) almost immediately after it began, I got my first irate phone call from what sounded like an older gentleman, deeply offended by the (v. short) Copernicus track early in the set, though I never quite caught whether he was bugged by the track's incorporation of the National Anthem because he thought it was unpatriotic or too patriotic. Or maybe he was a touch too literal-minded, in which case, you may rest easy, sir - I just checked with Wikipedia and the United States does, in fact, exist; 2) I accidentally played a song (#22 below) that let slip the dreaded "f" word over the public airwaves before the FCC's declared post-10 pm "Safe Harbor" time period. Oops. If Coast Community Radio is shortly forced off the air by irate fundamentalists, you know who to blame, baby; 3) DJ K-No had pre-recorded the 10 pm -12 am portion of the show and loaded it onto the KMUN automated system, which was all well and good, except that, somehow, the BBC News feed that usually runs (unheard) on the system at that time was still there too, with the result that both wound up running simultaneously for a full two hours and there was nothing anybody could do about it. I got one more phone call before I fled the station saying, in essence, "Wow - that's one crazy mashup." Anyway:
