Feels like regular service for the first time in nearly a month. I was in my usual time slot--following "the Fre(ida) Pile"--and Junior was in town, so the bit didn't have to be delivered via Apple voice memo. This program gives me pleasure, more than I expected (if only I could feel this in real time!), despite segues about which I can only say that I must have understood at some point what I was trying to do. A listener phoned in to give kudos, which is distressingly rare.
And, "finally," Happy Mondays provided the featured disc--heavy, I can report, on the Squirrel and G-Man era tunes. (Hot take: that album is better than Bummed.) Early entries in the "Physical Evidence" series included anecdotes about the actual disc played--who was the person who found himself able to write these??? I'm not up to it, other than to say that the aforementioned Squirrel got me through a very tough time. This (John) Peel Sessions disc doesn't ring a bell in terms of when I acquired it, though I just implied why I did so.
The Sound have made appearances in some recent playlists, I think because The Blog That Celebrates Itself put out a tribute and I decided I would rather hear the originals. Poor Adrian Borland: his band, like the Chameleons and the Comsat Angels, was something that simply missed me when it was happening. Blame it on radio, or record distributors, or whatever. White Postpunk Guys, all--playing them to see if they can make me feel anything. At times they do.
