For feck's sake, people - CD players have not been good to me of late. The one in my truck shuts off every time I try to take the disc that's now stuck in there in perpetuity out, the one in my mother's car refuses to play any of the CD-Rs I make in preparation for the show, and now, the CD burner at the station is broken, meaning that my standard archival recording of this week's show has had to be done on... cassette. Cassette!? What am I, Amish?

IF YOU'RE PAYING ATTENTION...
...you can usually pick out the various obsessions and pop-cultural tripwires that inspire my bi-weekly playlist. A Freaks and Geeks watching binge, leading to both an XTC tune and a gen-ewww-ine disco number? You bet. Overhearing the phrase "bottle of smoke" on The Wire, reigniting memories of a wonderfully obscene Pogues reel (in both form and function)? Yeah, man. Watching a neighbor's eyes get packed out by my trained pet crows, reminding me of... ah, but maybe I've said too much.

JET LAGNIAPPE:
I'm very, very tired. Stressed from a bad travel experience and slightly disoriented and confused. Which accounts for the number of repeats from previous shows, when I usually prefer never to play the same song twice. Not that anyone except me pays attention to such things. Anyway, not a bad show under the circumstances. Happy new year. And Delta Airlines can suck it.
