You Can’t Get Enough, But Enough Ain’t the Test: Transmission 452, 2019 March 6

2019-03-10

Here is a program for the vaults! Alright, they all* go to the vaults. But this one belongs in the "pantheon," or whatever it is we call that non-literal space where the really good ones wind up. Admittedly, the bar for entry may be low--all it takes are a solid, rocking two hours of music and a minimum of technical errors (sorry, Sunset Images) or gaffes on my part. So I hope you enjoy this one. *They don't all make it to the vault. I am thinking of course of Transmission 19, from this very date six years ago, carelessly deleted by me. I was so crushed by...

*They don't all make it to the vault. I am thinking of course of Transmission 19, from this very date six years ago, carelessly deleted by me. I was so crushed by this at the time--the program was so new and yet I had already sealed its fate as an imperfect time capsule. I need not have felt this way, of course, since I had already chronicled this program much better than my previous radio gig, but how I feel is how I feel.

It didn't occur to me until this week that I might at least partly reconstruct that missing program by cobbling together a streaming playlist. Why not? I suppose I am slow and/or wary to accept substitutes for the thing I want. Anyway, I did it and you can listen to it here. Funny thing about this--I was feeling not too long ago that this BOMBAST thing was perhaps winding down, that I wasn't as good in 2019 as I had been back then. But listening to this playlist and the last few shows, I'm reassured. So you're stuck with me, for a while.
