My Show Is Not Weird Enough: Transmission 112, 2014 April 2

I (mistakenly) believed we'd kick off a relatively sedate April with this program. Not that the program itself is mellow--Radio Niger is a wildly exciting release--but that I figured we might actually get caught up around here. HA. Slowly, I am learning that increased staff means increased variables, and increased chaos. Slowly I am learning this.

Anyway, yes, Radio Niger--it puts me and us to shame. I wonder (because I am too lazy to do the research myself, you see) whether Niger has any kind of FCC restricting what you can and can't do on the air. I do like looking for excuses, as my social betters have told me again and again. But we are coming up short around here, as even a partial listen to this album will tell you. Too much NPR, not enough "auto-tuning our own scene."
