Here It Comes, Goodnight: Transmission 91, 2014 January 4

I would like to tell you that Saturday nights used to mean something in my life, but they never did. So doing a radio program on a Saturday night is NOT AT ALL a sign that my life is going downhill. Here we found ourselves, called in on short notice, and in (surprising?) good form with a very international selection.

Having decided that if I were to host this program, I'd play as few songs as possible, I share with you some REALLY LONG ones. They are good ones, of course. No features this evening--not with the "Listening Parlour" on hiatus and not without having recorded Junior's voiceover for a "Physical Evidence" segment. Reissues notwithstanding, we don't spend much time "in the past" this evening, which is nice. I've been thinking a lot about the past lately, and good riddance, for the most part.
