November seventh's show: a broken shift key and a whole lotta silence

Tonight I fly solo. The lone bird. Separated from the pack.
I can't think of any more phrases that suggest solitude.

apparently, my shift key is on strike, so i will not be using it for the remainder of this blog.

here is the playlist from tonight's fabulous show:

1. video killed the radio star - buggles
2. london calling - the clash
2 1/2. parappa the rapper's car rap (with a female cop?)
3. take on me - a-ha
4. flew the coup - swan island
5. shine (in your mind) - the apples in stereo
6. the world has turned and left me here - weezer
7. rascuache - at the drive-in
8. track 15 - helvetia
9. time after time - cindy lauper
10. stephanie says - the velvet underground
11. new grace - high places
12. the big u - the blow
13. one more hour - sleater-kinney
14. cold cold water - mirah
15. south campus - charley zheng and riles johnson
16. a fond farewell - elliott smith
17. guilty - (yann tiersen - amelie soundtrack - ?)
18. if you don't cry - the magnetic fields
19. wedding bell - beach house

tonight's show was composed of a delicate mix of songs i adore and songs i am ashamed to adore. you can guess which are which if you didn't listen (or even if you did listen and just chose to ignore all of the speaking parts, which i actually highly recommend). i wish i could type out a written description of why i chose to play each song tonight, but i do not because of a mixed feeling of paranoia (of too many songs playing in a row and me not noticing) and lethargy. lethargic and paranoid...these words actually describe me very well.

anyway, it's kind of scary not having a co-host. i find that i often just start talking and talking to fill the silence. it's exactly the same feeling as when you are talking to someone you like, more specifically someone who you like who intimidates the shit out of you.

all in all, fun show.
