Did a radio show today (I'll probably give advance notice and a weblink next time) for the first time in weeks. The "format book" (100 new CDs half of our show is supposed to come from) was missing so there's more old stuff here than I usually play.

If my time slot partner Megan agrees (we switch off each week), I want to call our Indie 500 sub-show Old Enough To Know Better. We've both been at the station way too long.

I grabbed a ton of unreviewed promos while there. Reactions so far: Wiley deserves further inspection, Har Mar Superstar doesn't (dude seems to forget that lyrical inspiration is a hell of a lot more important and achievable for him than lush beats). The Blues Explosion is a little more charged musically than they were on Plastic Fang (only song that I ever care to hear again is "She Said," since it's about werewolves), but I am so glad I'm not Jon Spencer. I'm not surprised a semantics major would be adrift once the zeitgeist has abandoned him entirely. Fatherhood seems to have made him tired of crass clowning, but he doesn't appear to be able to abandon his shtick enough to make his balladry resonate. Sad, though Chuck D's cameo is even lamer.
