Appearances notwithstanding, I am not on the air "90 percent of the time" [sheesh] and only occasionally do I have an "itch" to do something aside from the regular Wednesday night "mothership" program. My life outside of radio is a full and imaginative one (alright, perhaps not imaginative), and BOMBAST takes work (again, appearances notwithstanding). I don't always have a specific thing
to do with extra airtime, so these extra programs tend to happen after failed attempts to give it away.
Happily this program is a whole 'nother thing. The day prior, I was just living my "full and imaginative" life when what should appear in my inbox but a couple of audio files sent by Rudy Tambala? He should require no introduction, but in case you need one, he was effectively one-half of Hall of Legends inductees A.R.Kane. He also had a hand in M|A|R|R|S, Inrain, and Sufi. The audio files were unreleased demos, recorded with Alison Shaw of Cranes fame, as well as...ugh, linking makes me tired. Anyway, HEY LOOK, a collaboration between good musical people.
So this was an occasion, you see--and I was just about to put out a call for someone to fill this time on Sunday afternoon, but instead decided to hoard it all to myself, which I think is what some of my colleagues imagine I do in every case anyway.
Welcome, then, to the premiere of "Open Attachments," another hastily-named feature on the program, although I think this one might stick.
ps yes I know these are not exclusive but still.
