Last night’s show was interesting, my fiancée was with me and was distracting me by making shark faces at me in the beginning so I ended up having the whole sequencing of mic breaks, announcements, and songs off all night. It turned out to be pretty cool actually. I generally have a standard way of putting the show together and it’s been a long time since I really varied that. This was a welcome change and made everything feel much less mechanical.

The early part of the show started of rather fuzzy (band sound-wise), but that worked out somewhat well. Entirely unintentional. I also liked the new Steel Train song I played too…which was unexpected.

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.
