Some Thursdays things go so well. I walk from the studio into the FoCo sunshine, high-fiving my soul (not easy, believe me), feeling like the cool dj I pretended to be as a kid with a cheap record player and a cassette recorder. Other days (ie, this morning), it's all I can do to keep from drooling on the microphone. Chances are, it sounds pretty much the same on the air, but there's no flow from where I sit. I can't access the groove that can come with programming a great show. It all started when I was trying to unwrap a CD and realized that the music that marks the end of the news broadcast was playing and I had yet to put a CD in the player ...

... next week will be the Best Show Ever!

Speaking of which: I've tentatively scheduled my Favorite Music of 2008 shows for Thursday, December 11 (Favorite Songs) and December 18 (Albums), with December 25 being reserved for ceaseless holiday frivolities. Please calendar these dates and tell a friend.


until then,

Scott
