So yeah, went all over the place with this one, but gotta keep it interesting, no?
The show was pre-recorded, owing to a work obligation which would have made getting to the station on time a risky-at-best proposition. Not to worry, next week should see me live and in effect as usual. And maybe I'll hold off on the 5+ minute experimental tracks. Maybe.

Notes: That Bang Lime track was the sleeper hit of the set, grabbing me far more in person than whatever track I previewed online, and that Jets Overhead disc continues to impress me more with every listen. Oh, and the Current 93 song is a Blue Oyster Cult cover. Not only do I love the term "dad rock," but I'm also liking the phenomenon itself more and more.

Playlist July 27
Lots of good stuff this week, all over the board musically as we’ve come to expect. Especially of note are the artists on n5MD and the Montreal-based electronics of Onmikrom and Numéro#, as well as Megan Hamilton, who proves that folk’s not dead.
Also, The Freedom Principle ended early this week, so we got a little more Dreaming than usual, which was good for me, if no one else.

Random noises
Haven't had much chance to post more than the weekly setlists as of late, something I continually hope to remedy. I do want to give a big "thank you" to everyone who came out to the Avalon Front last week for my installment of Radio Free Thursdays. The turnout was fairly decent, and really well in comparison to previous weeks (word is finally getting out, it seems). It was a lot of fun, a little challenging, and overall a really good night, and I hope to get back in soon for the next round of scheduled nights.
And my new shift turns out to be slightly earlier than I'd originally thought - 6:30-8 p.m. Friday evenings. Good after-work time, and definitely works better with the life schedule than overnights.
In the good news/bad news department, I found out today that Placebo are coming to town, only to discover that they're part of the Projekt Revolution tour package, headlined by Linkin Park and featuring such luminaries as My Chemical Romance, HIM (who I actually enjoy as a guilty pleasure) and Taking Back Sunday. I'm not sure what Molko and co. were thinking, but hopefully they're getting paid decently and will garner enough new fans to come back on their own soon. Sometimes music is a cruel mistress indeed.
