Franchises of the Mind: Transmission 312, 2016 December 17

Sometimes I cannot explain why or how I do this, except to suggest that maybe it is either a way of staying tethered to reality or as a performance of normativity and calm. There is probably a little of both in this program. I don't know what it is about the "ides" of December or thereabouts, but it has a way of ushering me into some new, toxic phase of life. This year did not disappoint. Maybe, on this particular night, I decided that instead of being too upset to do radio, I was too upset not to do radio.

Or maybe it was a holiday-related chance to play Half Man Half Biscuit. That too seems to make sense, in hindsight. What a crazy time this must have been. I have already repressed most of it, though the body seems to remember. For extra difficulty I crammed three dozen tracks into this broadcast. Guilt and shame, my therapist tells me, are major forces in my life.
