Originally, I had no idea this would be my next to last show on KPFK. I began the show with a short set connected to the latest school shooting, this time in Oregon. From there we went a number of different places, unfortunately the recording had some problems and so it picks up in the middle of the second set with Bikini Kill. You may notice that at the close of the show I sound more mysteriously pensive than normal, which now having ended my show, likely might have been a clue that my time at KPFK was nearing an end. Just before signing off, Kristi Lomax told me that Derek, Yatrika and Betto of the Global Village had resigned en masse as a protest to how things had been developing at KPFK. I was crestfallen. As y’all now know I’ve also decided to leave and I’ll have more to say about that when I post my final show. For now, here’s (most of) the penultimate broadcast of Melting Pot on KPFK.
