Has it been half a year? In many ways, having the radio show still feels fresh new but at the same time, it's definitely picked up a weird life of its own.
Sukia's wonky little song started the show off, a song I've held dear for a while for how spooky it is, mostly as my name gets chanted during the second half. From there, after a little stop in Canadiana, it was time to storm the floor with some of that blog house the kids are into. [Please reset your sarcasm metres.]
I was a tad sloppy with things as I was juggling a bit too much after forgetting to write up a few things towards the end, so there were stretches where I'm reaching for music to cue up and tripping over the poorly writ words at times. My throat was starting to feel scratchy too, which didn't become a problem during the show but it's something I need to monitor, especially since my day work involves talking on the phone a lot.
The profile on John Carpenter could've been a bit longer, personally, but there's not too much variation in his music. That said, it definitely inhabits a sinister vibe, which is becoming an influence amongst some recent acts, including the latest Portishead album.

The concert listings, done earlier in the show than usual, featured the song Cleopatra by Georges Teperino.
As indicated during the show, next week should be a bit wacky as the first annual CITR show swap happens. Most of the souls in the shows surrounding me aren't participating, but I'm game, so someone steps into the booth for my show, whilst I take over either their show, or some other willing subject. I opened myself up for almost any genre, so by Wednesday, I'll know what I'm tackling, then figure out how to pull the show off.
