Dust Will Clear, Birds Will Sing: Transmission 162, 2014 October 28

I told you we would embark on a good run. This regular, Tuesday evening program featured some good segues, some crazy segues, and some segues that were a little bit of both. Also, we took some unusual departures into both metal and the oeuvre of Taylor Swift. Times have changed, apparently. I remember when well-timed unofficial releases would get you sued. But I digress. This was a quality program.

Lately the existential considerations have seemed a bit heavy. Haven't I done enough of this, I ask myself; what's left? What if it ended tomorrow? What would you do with yourself in that case? That sort of thing. At this time of writing I've done 164 of these hullabaloos, and preserved all of them, safely, forever, in the heaven of the spectacle internet. You know, I only have, like, seven cassettes of my old program from the 80s and 90s, and I probably did 300 shows back then. I'm never getting those other experiences back, no matter how many I do now. Where is this going?

Oh, screw it, there's another show next week. We both knew this.
