Had an insane thought, that thankfully the crew at Soundwaves was more than happy to entertain, which involved them coming in and guest hosting on Kristi Lomax’s One Track Mind and me holding down Soundwaves’ usual 2-4am slot on the KPFK airwaves. It’s been a real LONG time since I’ve been on at that hour, something I’ve done at at least 3 other stations I’ve worked at, and the experience of being on at that late night/early morning hour definitely inspires interesting things. For the show, I essentially took it back to what we used to do on Melting Pot at the end of the month, which was a true vinyl freeform show, where I’d just pack as many records as I could, wouldn’t plan a single thing, except perhaps where I would begin, and just let the spirit move me. Some interesting moments of inspiration, especially the decision to play Funkadelic’s “Eulogy & Light,” both forwards and backwards so that you can hear both parts of the song. I really do miss doing my own show, and hope to return full-time to KPFK in the near future, but until then, there’s this…Enjoy!
