Last week was hell, running from my desk job to a Popped! show and back home to finish up writing every night. It was like SXSW without the good weather, good vibes, BBQ or hot tubs. There was a lot of personal stuff going on as well, so I was running ragged by Wednesday. I planned on going in, putting on some long records and napping. Then I got there and started digging. through the stacks.

I went about my usual method for putting together a show, then took it all and scrambled it back up. I general idea was to reach for broad genre, which I think worked out fine. I’m warming up to the LCD Soundsytem record — it is as good as everyone claims — but maaaaan, that Taana Gardner track. It’s brilliance grows with each listen. So glad I pulled this out of the ol’ record collection not too long ago. I really like this show!

» I won’t be on this week — sorting out some grad-school stuff. I got into another program. Decisions, decisions, decisions!
