The Truth Is Out There: Transmission 117, 2014 April 20

Several times have I said this, but it bears repeating: weird stuff happens when I do daytime radio. On this Easter broadcast, I was visited by what seemed like a spirit (could it have been...?). In other miraculous news, the pitch variation on Turntable 2 seemed to work in favor of This Mortal Coil, not that Lady Catharsis would care.

This impromptu / emergency broadcast began a crazy thirteen-day stretch in which I somehow fell into doing six shows. So I am now at that end of the pendulum swing, contemplating the ultimate mortality of this program or at least just craving a bit of time off. I don't even seem to care about fading out the Jazz Butcher song at the end, although Gabriela of "Alcance Latino" is a force of nature and it is just best to get out of her way, which I did.

Of course I remember that this show has some kind of impulse/mission which I can't articulate, and that I "have to" keep going for some reason. Since I last posted, I've received some positive reinforcement in that regard, so we press on. Announcement to come soon.
