More Radio

I got a key to my new shared office today...I have a yet another unpaid volunteer title at the station and this one ends with the word 'Director', which means I have access to the Tiny Office, a space where I can sit in relative peace and listen to CD's for airplay- I had a show this afternoon, River City Limits, which is all local area bands. It was fun, I came in early and got my ducks in a row so the show was a breeze.
Sometimes the station seems like a huge effort for no money, but I like it anyway. Kind of like this blog, except the radio station has never broken my heart.

Anyway, I'm admistrative director local music, but we all overlap jobs, so I imagine I'll learn a bit about new functions, although I seem to do everything some days and nothing others...I have a younger kick-ass co-director, he's into screening the CD's and keeping up with concert tie-ins and stuff, my job is the oldman agenda- records keeping, scheduling, fixing shit...it's working ok.

I wanted to name the show River City Shuffle( say it 5 times fast) but was voted down.

I have another show tomorrow morning, it's a regular weekly gig even though I don't get paid, I do get to play any music I like for anybody who'd like to listen. Last week was a semi-tranquil winter mix, some ambient, avant-garde , modern Celtic, mainstream rock,No Wave...I like it all...gonna play some funk and blues tomorrow, maybe some more music by bloggers -if?

Goddamn it, all I did was play Funkadelic before breakfast, which is OK with my music director-who is me.

It's just music.

Dude, I just realized you are calling me a liar on my own blog.
You don't believe me when I talk about my show -PUBLIC RECORD- but you are willing to believe I am vicious bastard who is sick enough to fake my suicide for kicks.

Nothing you say matters, nothing you do counts because you do not know me at all.
