NOW THAT ONE WAS FUN, GODDAMMIT:
Breaking out of whatever ruts I've self-imposed, I went heavy on the live audio collagisizing this week, utilizing a couple of Negativland's (actually, Neagtivland member Don Joyce's) Over the Edge radio programs, a bunch of sound effects records, random superimpositions and a six-second-long Paul Westerberg song. Whereas the last show wound up sounding a lot better than it felt programming it, I have the feeling this one is a friggin' mess to hear. But the most fun I've had in quite a while doing this thing nonetheless. So I'll take it. (R.I.P. Mitch Mitchell.)

AM I GETTING TIRED OF DOING THIS SHOW?:
Man, I'm feelin' mighty uninspired tonight. Or maybe I need sleep. Or shouldn't have eaten just before the show. That would account for the sloppiness, the repeats of previously-played songs, and the who the fuck cares you self-consciously self-aggrandizing walking whitehead nobody's reading this blog much less listening to your fucking show and putting up with your weak-ass musical taste anyway. Or maybe I'm just bummed that Jimmy Carl Black is dead. Eh.

I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING FUNNY TO PUT HERE...
...which is more or less keeping in line with the show I, and my friends Slab and Don, just did. Oh, we had a hell of a lot of fun, no question, and we're all three reasonably talented performers when the tides are right, but once again I/we made the error of thinking that coming up with funny stuff off the top of my/our heads without any preparation whatsoever is a lot easier than it actually is. At one point, we rambled aimlessly enough that we got a call - on air - from our program director telling us to play some damn music already. Great guys, though. We'll nail it next time.

INANITY, THY NAME IS ME:
Liam's back, for the second and (sadly) final time this summer. The first five songs (which, including all the wacky interstitial banter, took up the full first half-hour) were his choice. The rest were hurriedly hashed together by me in the rather crazed atmosphere of the studio, being further visited by a friend from the theatre and by a stray black cat, which accounts for the rather high number of songs that had been played in earlier shows, not that anyone notices nor cares. (Any significance to the fact that the temperature was exactly 66.6 degrees through most of the show? No, of course not, you nit.)

I AM JOE'S BLOG POST TITLE.
The only thing of any interest in this bi-week's episode is the utter and conspicuous lack of the usual inter-song comedy bits. But then, who needs intentional comedy when you have the Jefferson Airplane pshilling psychedelically for Levi's, the utter unique in(s)anity of John the Postman, and me attempting to pronounce "Gbeti Madjro"?

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.
