during thanksgiving break i covered the top ten show, which i rather liked. it was nice going into the station knowing that half my show was somewhat mapped out and then id only have to cover an hour’s worth of programming otherwise. i took this opportunity to bust out some 1980’s flannel rock, for the most part. i played the 7″ of “alex chilton” rather than the full length because i was noodling around in the 7″ section and saw that. plus, i like the 7″ format better. i wanted to play some spiral jetty but i forgot to do that. ditto for dogzilla’s “lunch with ed”, which would have made my friend ann laugh.
