Halloweenie

Since it's 3:31 in the morning, I've decided this is the perfect time to begin actually using this blog. I think that the show tonight was probably the highlight of my halloween. I maybe kind of sort of remembered today that I don't like halloween that much (so I'm not capitalizing it); at least one thing goes horribly awry every year.

(SUB-TOPIC: 'Awry' is my new favorite word. Up until a few years ago, I thought it was pronounced 'AHH-ree'. A little embarrassing)

For one thing, the weather always blows. It's always cold and/or rainy, which I would usually appreciate; the fact that I don't automatically means there's something wrong with the day. My costume almost never comes out right. I always, ALWAYS feel nauseous all day, even pre-candy.

Today, my body had a civil war. Cool.

Still, this halloween was better than most. For one thing, I didn't end up sobbing over a toilet dressed as Harry Potter. I also didn't have a lopsided Care Bear head on (second grade hellooooooooo). But I'm not here to complain (yeah right)!

Even though I showed up fashionably late, I still had a fabulous time. We made a new friend, another Natalie, who we deemed 'Hydro'. We had some great talks off air and some mediocre ones on air. I was accused of having taken acid and I admitted that I own the first season of Viva La Bam; Katia revealed her love for Randy Newman and introduced the sidebite.

Unfortunately, I don't have Katia's playlist, but here is mine:

1. Heart of Chambers--Beach House
2. Yo Yo Bye Bye--Why?
3. Rat Is Dead (Rage)--CSS
4. Everybody Needs Somebody to Love--The Blues Brothers
5. The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth--Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
6. I Love LA--Randy Newman
<> Family Guy: Randy Newman clip
7. Knife (Girl Talk Remix)--Grizzly Bear
8. Canterbury Tales Prologue--Norton English Anthology
9. No One Else Live (Acoustic)--WEEZER
10. Teen Age Riot--Sonic Youth
11. Teeath--Teeath

Wow, look at all those parentheses! Okay, so even if there are only 3 sets, that's more than yr average playlist has. Maybe someday we'll do a parentheses-themed show.

Anyway, I think next week will be strictly nineties-themed.
