Sickness and fever had fallen upon me, and I was probably not well enough to do this program. Looking at the archives, I see that I cancelled a program almost exactly a year ago for the same reason. I guess this is a sign that things are looking up for me, that I am not quite as surrender-prone as I was in the past? Confession: I guess now is as good a time as any to say that I'm driven by the goal of getting to Transmission 500 by the close of 2019, to what end I'm not certain. If I power through every scheduled appearance and take on a few extra shifts I should get there. Again, not sure why I want to bring on the weird feelings that will accompany such an occasion, but the heart wants what it wants.
Anyway, the first hour of this program passed pretty much without incident, which is good. The segue into KYO/Jeuru was a bit quiet and I probably slipped a couple of things past management in the first fifteen minutes or so. Hey! I took a request for the first time in ten months or so, courtesy of our long-missing friend Drummer John, and it was not a disaster! The transition from "Drone" to "Kazaru" was surprisingly nice, and the one between Brim Liski and Dearly Departure earned four exclamation points in my notes!!!! (!!!!) Playing "Wounds" after "Six Six Sixties" (the request) actually made some thematic sense (I'm wishing I liked the Planningtorock record more than I do). A well-executed program, with (again) a lot of vocals--apologies to Lowly for trampling their lovely tune at the end.
What were we recovering from today? Oh, yeah, gubernatorial blackface. In 2019. Fucking hell.
