programming notes

new adds: eaves, manitoba, broken social scene, silkworm, kh3, acgc. the strangest thing was that they were perfectly spaced out in the set. i did not plan this, hence the part about “the strangest thing…”

overall: not a bad show. sonic youth has been kicking my ass lately, so i felt the desire to include them. daydream nation, even after all these years of not listening to it, is still amazing.

ever wonder why silkworm’s rendition of “the hexx…” is bluegrassy? i do. is it a reference to the nickel creek cover from the same album? possibly.

scary moment of the day
about 5 minutes after my show, and into the spotlight show with jon solomon, all the power goes out in WPRB for 5 minutes. the severe thunderstorm must have hit our transmitter and poof! — there goes the station for the next 2 hours.
