People Differ in an Absolutely General Way: Transmission 430, 2018 October 24

2018-12-22

"We have been 'cataclysmic' tonight," I remark toward the end of this broadcast, though I think I may be exaggerating. Now firmly on the familiar ground of "long backannouncements over quieter tunes," we march onward, at this point a "mere" two months behind in our online postings. It's a sad and lonely feeling, being unprepared to post the more recent programs and knowing that they are even more off the wall and somehow better. But it's not like we ever really play "Christmas" music on this program per se, so I don't see why this late October program wouldn't warm the...

Program notes: I have found that I now prefer listening to myself in the car, as opposed to listening at the gym. But that might have to do with my recent struggles at the gym, which put me in a bad mood generally. But also...while this program generally rewards headphone listening, I have to say that headphones suck, even decent ones. Plugging something directly into my earhole provides too much...presence. [Sigh--is feeling this way a symptom of depression?] Anyway, try this with speakers, I think you will like it better.

There are things about this transmission that no listening scheme will help. The Wire segues were bad at both ends; I started "Rage" too late (a phrase which should be more loaded than it is); I cannot pronounce "Kaniama." At least I am laughing at my mistakes on air--is that to keep from crying, I wonder?

As I say on the air, "thanks for sticking with me!"
