As promised, the healing begins here. It takes a fill-in appearance and a semi-divine intervention from Lady Catharsis, but we will accept a good program on any terms. As was the case with UB40 a couple of weeks ago, it definitely helps that the broadcast is anchored by a good long-playing record. But, as one of us remarked at some point in the episode, "it [was] a night of good segues"--and unplanned ones at that.
I'm struck by my remark about Section 25--"another synth-pop classic," or something like that. What was the first, I wonder? Could it have been The Golden Age of Wireless? Though it must have struck me as "synth pop" back in the day, when "one synth" seemed to be sufficient, it strikes me as simply "pop" now (and that's--shockingly--not an insult. This is very good pop).
It is somewhat hilarious (perhaps an insult in this case) how our understanding of the actual record we are playing changes in real time. It turns out we are playing an American pressing, not Canadian and not English, and not the original tracklisting. But any time your record has 68 pressings, that's a good sign, no matter what clowns like us have to say about it.
[aside--just had a major case of deja vu typing that last sentence. I hope it isn't something I have actually said before--I can't imagine what the context might have been.]
I hope it comes across that we love The Golden Age of Wireless, because we do.
