Not a bad little show last night. I thought I was going to be short on music to play, but things ended up working out perfectly. Though, I feel like I was a little too bothered by the grammatical error in the song title for Kathryn Calder’s “A Day Past It’s Prime.” At first, I thought it was just wrong in our system, but the wrong form of ‘its’ is there on the back of the CD case as well. Oh well.

With all the feelings of wanting to finally throw in the towel and retire from college radio lately, it was nice to head into the studio last night and have a good show that I had fun doing. Maybe the week off helped.

The Playlist last night was a bit on the folkier/acousticy-er/chiller side of things, but it was a decent show. I wanted to do something more upbeat, but that didn’t really pan out. I wouldn’t really say that’s a bad thing though.

I always feel like missing a week kills me. There ends up being too much music to go through before the show and since I wasn’t able to do the show last week because I was at my fiancée’s sister’s high school graduation, it was one of those nights. I’ll spend the next couple of weeks still catching up.

Well, last night was one of the craziest shows I’ve ever done in the nine years that I’ve been at The Core. Yet, as crazy as it was, I don’t think anyone listening was able to tell. There were all kinds of technical and non-technical issues and distractions that I had to deal with while trying to do the show, but I pulled it off somehow. Though because of it, I ended up starting off with a song that I hated. I didn’t get to preview it long enough and hadn’t heard the album or band before so that sucked. Oh well.
