With this episode we enter the nostalgic period of the year--you'll find that between Halloween and New Year's I am playing mostly things that I have played before. (If you haven't heard it, it's new to you!) Things get a bit softer--planning is easier, mistakes seem more forgiveable, and so on. It's nice. Accordingly, we begin with a fairly competent program, for some values of "competent."
Admittedly, I meant to play a third song with the title "Halloween," that being Mudhoney's heavy cover of Sonic Youth. Whenever this time of year rolls around there is a ton of stuff I mean to play but don't have room for; New Order and Bauhaus also didn't make the cut on this night, though we will hear from them soon enough. Apologies to Mudhoney. Another program note: that Breathless piece is a little bit less "ambient" than I remember, and I was tricked upon rehearing it into wondering what I had sprung upon my listeners. Legends are never easy.
Another admission: I have to say that I don't "get" Halloween, or whatever it has become. As a theatre person I put myself at risk by saying this. But "sexy nurse" costumes, and the like, don't really capture what this day seems to me to be about, which is not mere dress-up. I feel like it's about coming to terms with horror, specifically the prospect of death, but I will accept a more general definition of the concept. So we have some downerish tunes, including a ghost story and a gun story that got me in some trouble with station management (that "BBF3" certainly has a pottymouth!). Finally, I (re-) share with you a bedtime story, to which I don't recommend listening by yourself. Since it's Christmas as I write this, I hope you have someone close, whom you can hold onto.
Enjoy nostalgia season!
