Many things could have gone better on this outing. In my ongoing quest to live out this show's purpose I tried doing something I used to do all the time, doing all the voice-overs with "bed music." That will, I hope, get better. We had some technical problems, particularly ill-timed given the solemnity of the night. But: the airplay computer was only playing out of the left channel, which is obvious for some of the goofy "traffic" spots early on; with a lot of "coaxing" I managed to get it stereo, though that made the first few Dub Syndicate tracks an adventure in listening. I still don't know if that problem is fully solved, but hey, WRFI has a general manager now, so for once I don't have to feel like it's my problem.
About Dub Syndicate: fucking hell. I am just so sad. I will let other people deliver eulogies; I wrote some words about my history with Dub Syndicate a while ago, when I brilliantly put Style Scott in the Hall of Legends without interviewing him. "I'll get to it later," I probably told myself. There is no later. Anyway, someone smarter than I am got a pretty good interview here.
Oh, and then Mark Bell of LFO had to go and die, too. Quite a week! Everyone reading this, be well. I mean it.
