This show was sketched out earlier than the other shows, mostly since the weekend before airtime was when I moved to a new apartment. It's hard to say whether the additional time allowed me to spot the little patterns or commonalities with some of the selections, but the flow was quite connected.
The initial focus was on the Oscar nominations; I focused on score at first but upon finding one of the nominated songs, and then another song by the same act on another soundtrack, the sequence gelled nicely, especially since I threw on a few other older film songs too. The look at Last Gang Records was accidental but allowed for a nice spotlight on a recent Canadian label.
I had a minor spell of paranoia since during preptime at the station, I was somehow privy to a programmers' meeting, where critiques of other shows were discussed. Not that I was expecting much analysis on my show yet, but it's both good to know that there are critical listeners out there, but at the same time really awkward. I know there's room to improve, especially since I'm only three weeks into this gig, but yeah, my nerves were rattled for a bit.
There was the odd mixing snafu as I tried juggling more sources this time, including an attempt at talking over music, then changing to the next song afterwards. I have to map that out better, along with remembering to properly skip songs when running out of time.
Update: one factual error on my part in the show. V for Vendetta was written by Alan Moore, not Grant Morrison. I received an email after the show correcting me.

No MP3 available at this time. The studio I use to record the show was occupied, thus nothing from my end, though I could've finagled a cassette from the station and then digitized it later. If any brave soul did record my humble show, it would be mighty sweet if you can tell me where to download it from.
Due to the supreme powers of Melanie, the podcasting expert, the show was (mostly) rescued as podcasting has been setup and the MP3 was summoned from the server. Slippery floors, professionally managed, as an MP3 [91:36, 83.8 Mb. File will be on the server for 30 days.]
