And Then Shoot Out The Lights: Transmission 74, 2013 November 22

"It's mostly a show about segues," I explained to Stephen as his program was ending and mine was beginning. If that is my rationale, then the segues had better work. This outing was not my best. For whatever reason, Curve's music, love it though I do, refuses to play nice with other tunes. At any rate, here is another mix tape. I hope it provides pleasure and/or comfort, at some time if not right now.

Catalogue of mistakes: "Ten Little Girls" is improperly cued; there is a four-second dropout at the beginning of "Bobby Heron," although thankfully it spares the sublime voice of Nadine Shah; Holland and Denmark are distinct and separate places; the real joke I mean to make with DJ Jahman's program, that it should be called "Electric Currants," is better rendered in writing than in speech. Is that all? I hope so. Me DJ pretty one day.

[UPDATE: N.B. Apparently Joris Voorn is from Amsterdam, which sources tell me is not in Belgium.]
