Currently having a lot of thoughts about time. This is the final broadcast before the Catharsis Family goes on vacation. We haven't done this in FIVE YEARS. Much has changed since then. BOMBAST was not a thing in summer 2012--for that matter, WRFI was barely a thing. I was a "gentleman of leisure" at the time--I guess that's called "taking a gap year" now, though mine was more than a year. I almost went feral. I would have been happy to stay in the wilds of California and never return to society.
ANYWAY.
Listening back to this program was strangely dissociative (dissociating?). Though it is SO RECENT (we're all caught up, for a fleeting moment) I seem to remember none of it. What was I doing at the time? How had I chanced upon these tunes? While I'm doing my own (poor) David Byrne imitation, I'm going to find an arbitrary, unrelated hill that I'm willing to die on--"The Overload" sounds more like Joy Division, in style and substance (even though reportedly the band had only heard about JD) than 90% of "postpunk" strivers. Read someone dissing this track yesterday and I just won't have it.
ANYWAY.
Things get rough toward the end, or perhaps just lazy, but it's all good.
See you August 16.
