“Our Pandemic Radio Adventure” continues, and I’m back on my bullshit–by that I mean counting the mixtapes I’ve had to assemble for you. What must I have been thinking–that this would end soon? Dear listener, we have eleven months to go!
Listeners will experience a hefty serving of music “randomly found in my twitter timeline”--there was a lot of that at this time. People and organizations were responding to Current Events in whatever way they could. This week had seen the infamous “post a black square” day on social media (a gesture adopted by the famously non-racist Washington Redskins, among others); it had also seen the repurposing of the fledgling Bandcamp Friday phenomenon as a fundraiser for activist groups. “Throw some coins in the bucket in the direction of social justice,” I plead.
To my current embarrassment some of the music that accompanied this crowdfunding sounds eager and pandering, as if the artists were hoping their songs might be deployed as interstitial music on Democracy Now! or some such. I won’t name names; perhaps you can guess by listening.
I relax my policy of “not calling people out” to take a shot at Juno Records, whose shipment to me was apparently traveling the wrong way around the globe, as it was two months late. Lockdown be damned, I am a needy consumer! At least I admit that I am being “petty.”
Mispronouncing “Kilamanzego” as “kill-a-man-zay-go” (instead of “kill a man’s ego”) is something I can only admit to now, as I was cluelessly butchering it at the time with blithe confidence.
And while we’re on the topic, were we really “starting to talk about” returning to live broadcasts? In June 2020? Good grief!
