Here is a fill-in program that I did on very short notice when Godfrey announced that he couldn't do "The Griot Hour" on this night. Despite the non-descript and hurried occasion (it wasn't a "celebrity birthday" and I couldn't rope Lady Catharsis into joining me), this comes off as a pretty good show. ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. There's a lot to consider, but I'll try to be brief about it.
I don't know what "filling in valiantly" means, but I said it with sincerity; hopefully that counts? Something jumped out of my body again when I tried to talk. I mixed up my tenses at one point, saying "if you enjoy what you hear over the last two hours." I deliver an utterly pedantic weather report. The whole sequence from Oneohtrix Point Never through Maoupa Mazzocchetti is pretty rough. Nevember is an album, not an EP.
There's this ongoing Twitter thing called the #MWE or "Music Writing Exercise." I've been participating, though not consistently. Music journalism is a thing I used to do. Anyway, I have been coming to terms with "what I believe in" as far as music is concerned, and one of those things is self-care, not in the blithe consumerist sense but in a post-traumatic self-healing sense. What were we trying to heal from on the day of this program? It looks mostly like Howard Schultz, the Starbucks guy quixotically running for President as the avatar of the non-existent Center. No one wants this! But he is a billionaire, so we are going to get him (and perhaps, as a result, four more years of Trump) as a result, whether we like it or not (we don't). Good thing Ithaca has plenty of good, non-corporate coffee. I wish it had more guillotines.
