Never Expect Power Always: Transmission 137, 2014 July 8

We present a well-executed return to the "regular" Tuesday night program. Lately it seems we do best when we are feeling least apologetic about being on the air. It makes too much sense, but is rarely the way things actually go. At any rate, thanks to Imaginary Softwoods, this program is beautifully "chill," except when it is not.

It wouldn't be summer in the 607 without wild swings between disgusting humidity and life-threatening deluges, and it wouldn't be summer in the world of this program without equally drastic changes of mood. I'm coming out of my self-imposed "typical show" mandate and am working on some special things for the near future. Do you like being teased? I guess it doesn't matter. But hopefully some big things will happen soon, so pay attention.
