After the previous program, it felt nice to do a show without observances or baggage. I even manage to sound upbeat here. There's a chance that I actually was, although that allusion to "wrath" at the opening of the program must have significance. Here I confront the usual problem of trying to capture the atmosphere of something that happened weeks ago, without the aid of an actual diary (what you're reading is a fake one). But on this night we were basically halfway through the period of my work life that I call "theory camp," and things were going smoothly, so I must have been feeling breezy.
I think that, had the program's recurring features not occurred to me, this is fairly close to the Platonic Ideal of what I would be Doing With Radio. Good segues, not too much incompetence, a raft of artists I hadn't played before, and the absence of nostalgia--it's all happening. I even manage to play a tune called "July 5th" ON JULY 5TH. What spirit could have occupied my body and made such entertainment happen. It couldn't have been mere "Gas," could it?
