Wasn’t Born To Stand In Line, I Like To Sit Around: Transmission 176, 2014 December 26

NO SLEEP TILL BROOKLYN. Here we are, posting on the weekend. It's still the season of giving, so here, have another program. Let's call this one the fruitcake of the bunch. There are some kernels of truth behind my amateur numerology and superstition. I'm not crazy about numbers that end in zero, so naturally when I wind up playing 30 tracks something will go wrong, and it does.

How about we start at the beginning, where I botch the intro to the Colo song? Somewhere in the middle I let my Ian Dury record play a bit too long, screwing up what was ACTUALLY a very good segue into Pink Industry (a shame, because "Don't Let Go" is a chestnut among chestnuts). Then of course something goes wrong at the end of the program; I had meant to play the Ramones earlier--god knows how I was to transition into or out of that tune--but had skipped over them somehow. Programs like this are a sign that I am happy--we had enjoyed a lovely Annual Gifting Day--if only I could be conscious of it in real time and not just in retrospect!
