Well, this was an interesting night. As is often the case before these end of the month all vinyl shows, I’ll spend some time at either Atomic in Burbank or Amoeba in Hollywood before making my way to the station. I know exactly how long it takes to get from those record stores to the station and I always make sure to leave with plenty of time. This Friday was no different, until it was VERY different. A 10 minute trip ended up taking 35 minutes, and that meant that I was late for my shift…and why? Kanye West. Seriously…Kanye West, who was playing at the Hollywood Bowl. It’s precisely because of times like these that I have an 8 minute long theme song. As I was driving up to the station, I was thinking about how much time I still had to go and ran into the studio thinking I still had a minute to go, but forgot that our signal is on a delay. So the show starts off with two rounds of “Melting Pot” before I get into things (I didn’t set up the recording correctly so, that opening is a bit muffled compared to the rest of the show), but with the time we had left, I tried to make the most of it with the usual mix of diverse sounds you’ve come to expect. Next week will be our last show for several weeks, so do be sure to tune in!
