The Playlist 9/8
The second to last The Playlist ever went well last night, definitely a decent show all around. I’m not a big Screaming Females fan myself, but I felt like they were a good way to start off the show. The Thermals double dose wasn’t planned, but the three songs in between all went by much quicker than I thought they would so I needed an extra song. I’m actually listening to the record right now and liking it a bit, but not quite as much as their other stuff. “I Don’t Believe You” is a great song though.
I’m trying to get a second hour for my show next week. I feel like I’ll need two hours to properly end it. It’s hard to believe that after nine years, I won’t be doing a steady show anymore. The Playlist itself has been going for seven years which makes it one of the longest running shows ever on 90.3 The Core. I always wanted to pass it on to someone else to host after me, but I guess that’s not really going to happen. Anyway, I’m going to need to set aside some time this weekend to think about what I want to play next week. I decided that I’m not going to do a show of all new music to end a show that was dedicated to nothing but new music. Hah! Instead, I think I’m going to a highlights show of all my favorite stuff I’ve played over the years. It will be a completely pre-planned show which is entirely atypical of my normal style of doing the show. The only pre-planned shows I do are the best albums of the year countdowns at the end of each year.
