GOOD SHOW. DIVERSE, A-FLOWING, INTERESTING.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'll try to make it to may car without running into the rather, um, unhinged sounding gentleman who kept calling tonight and praising my show in spite of the fact that his radio doesn't work and somebody's been interfering with his own personal reception. I'm ducking to the ground at the first sight of a tinfoil Stetson.

CONTROLLED CHAOS ON A STICK, MINUS THE CONTROL AND PART OF THE STICK:

Wow, this was a fun one, albeit one fringed with an unsurprising sprig of pre-game stress. Nothing major, just the usual home software failures that kept several fine tracks (including a number of excellent suggestions from mon frere jambon, who has become rather a full-fledged consultant in recent weeks) from being saved to disc and thus transferred to air, blah blah blurg. But no matter - between the homemade mashups and comedy bits and my newfound ability to really bring the flow, real live DJ-style, the show's getting pretty entertaining and slightly nuts. Which makes me increasingly peeved at having perhaps the worst timeslot on the station, precluding most folks from, y'know, listening and all, but nahh, it doesn't matter. I will someday be recognized as the aural pioneer that I always wanted to be, then luxuriate in the joyous cries of "oh, never mind. I thought you were someone else. Anybody ever tell you you looked like an aural pioneer?" (Sorry, I'm tired. One AM is babblematic time.)

AT LAST THE 1983 SHOW (ETHEL MERMAN I SHOULD TURN TO BE):

In commemoration of KMUN's 25 years on the air, I have decided to pay tribute to the musical year 1983. Which, to be brutally frank, is about the only reason anybody'd want to pay tribute to the musical year 1983. Not that a fairly kick-ass two hour show couldn't be hashed together consisting solely of records issued that annum, but let's be straight - very few bands were operating at their peak that year. 1982? Sure. 1984? Most def. But c'mon and c'moff it, almost everybody who was somebody sometime was either in the process of becoming great but not quite there yet (the Fall, the Dü, the Youth, the 'men, G. Theory), starting their long journey downward (the Heads, the Pretenders, Elvis the C.), or on their way to quick oblivion (the Birthday Party, the Plimsouls, Minor Threat, and what a weird procession that makes, eh?). Nonetheless, I'm rather proud of what I pulled out of that year that was. Pity I didn't have time for "Total Eclipse of the Heart."

THE BIG STORY THIS WEEK...

...is the debut of the first of my homemade mash-ups (only, oh, five years after that whole phenomenon peaked and slowly slid away) at the top and tail of the program. The second one (#40) was comprised of the first four minutes of the Beyond the Valley of the Dolls score, Orchid Spangiafora and Lord Buckley. The first (#1) was made up of no fewer than eleven different edited, mutated and mutilated recordings, from Butthole Surfers and Big Black to Public Enemy and Michael O'Donoghue beating the shit out of Mr. Whipple. Fairly impressive, and it would be even more so if you were listening to hear it. But you weren't, and you didn't. So nertz to you, jib-jab.

PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH TREAT?:

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.

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.

GOOD KING BISCUITLAS LOOKED DOWN, UPON THE FLOWER HOUR...

Behold, the playlist for the 2nd Annual Wow & Flutter Christmas Disrespectacular! (And I'm proud to say, a show which carries on the holiday tradition of getting a single, offended call - not that I'm so bothered, particularly as it was one from a fellow programmer, a woman who seems to think of herself as Coast Community Radio's fucking den mother or something and really should mind her own goddamned fucking business about what's appropriate late-night radio fare and what's not, especially since she used more profanity in her phone call than the track in question, and if it's the political incorrectness factor you're worried about, cookie, bear in mind that sarcastic commentary about Chanukah could be construed as anti-Semitic from a WASP or someone similar but is perfectly fine coming from a member of the Chosen People, not to mention a guy deeply beloved of our oh-so-liberal listenership, y'dig? Ah, yes, all I want for Christmas is some thicker skin...)

OH, STORMY...

And here's the show I did in the aftermath of the worst storm the northern Oregon/southern Washington coast has seen for some time. Nothing out of the ordinary, other than having to do it with a single, generator-run light for illumination, which was fine because it kept me from seeing the giant elm that had fallen mere inches from the KMUN air room and loomed ominously outside the window as I broadcast. And after driving through downtown Astoria late that night, I regretted not having a copy of the Specials' "Ghost Town" with me, though #23 (ooooh) below seemed appropriate on both sides of the em dash. An auspicious way to celebrate my 50th show, eh wot?
