Of course I couldn't do two "perfect" shows in a row, so this will be a list of complaints and tech notes. But must it? I've taken to writing things down as they happen as a way of having "something to say" about these programs when I post them, but I wonder if I am creating my own prison with relentless self-negging. There are some terrific moments in this show--just looking at the playlist I can see that. I encourage you to find your own highlights, but Mdou Moctar's awesomeness goes without saying, and I was really taken with the SRSQ track. I managed to slip "the point" by management (yay me! Or were they just not listening?) and I concluded an extremely brief (and, admittedly, failed) flirtation with Skinny Puppy nostalgia. AND--I almost forgot to mention this--the "Listening Parlour" returns! I finally got it together to work that in, an honest to goodness triumph!
Now the bad parts: something leapt out of my nose or throat during the initial voice-over; the segue into the Felt tune seemed forced, but at the risk of going too deeply into how the sausage is made, I'd been sitting on that one for a long time and it must have made sense to me when I was of a different mindset; what on earth is a "backlist?" I swear, the less I talk, the better; I botched the segue from Bauhaus into the Blue Orchids, and also gave Brian Harris the Bauhaus treatment, apologies; I mispronounce "Sirikiti" as "Sikriti," as in rhyming with Saddam Hussein's full surname.
So much for my catalogue of atrocities. I'll make a concerted effort to be more positive in the future.
