Same nonsense, different place.

What a difference a week makes! You’d think that Spring Break would mean a world of free time, but no. I’ve been so lazy/busy that I haven’t been able to share my big news with you: I will be taking over the 5-7PM EST slot at WPRB for the what seems to be the rest of the spring schedule. There was a last minute opening and now I’m back to ruling both the internet and airwaves with my “unique brand” of “witty” on-air “banter” [all code for "listen to me do something stupid every five minutes"]. However, this means the podcast version of this show will be going bye-bye. If I can work out some deal to have them online, they’ll be back.

Anyway. My first show back, like any first show back, was a little rocky. It’s tough to change stations mid-season, especially when one gets acclimated to all the ins-and-outs of a particular station. Like, WPRB can start CD’s directly from its board; WQHS can’t. [This might seem like nothing to a non-DJ, but trust me, having everything at your fingertips is a big help when you're juggling a jillion things at once. Although, I do miss developing superstretch powers to TCB.] WQHS has four CD players, WPRB only three. WPRB has seizure-inducing lights [seriously, one of these days] that blink when someone calls, WQHS has a crazy handset that makes me feel like I’m in trenches of WWI. I get shocked by the equipment every week at WQHS, at WPRB — you get the point.

Highlights: the purr-tinged guitar stylings of Mark Dagley (no really, those were cats!), Spank Wilson’s funked-up version of “Sunshine of Your Love”, Plague Songs, the new Parts & Labor instrumental EP, Herbie’s phone call (bizarrely coinciding with my wearing of a Brown Recluse Sings t-shirt). Kitty Wells and my excited caller. Had to bust out “Christine” from last week again, just ’cause it has been on constant ipod repeat as of late.
