04/09/2007 recap et al.

okay. so last week we were bumped off the air again because Bob Woodward was speaking at Goucher. Whatever. But! We're back on the air tonight! The weather is sooooo nice, so, tonight's playlist will be in spirit of that, i suppose!

Anyway, our last broadcasted show was 04/09. Quinn co-hosted with me, and for good purpose! The show was supposed to be "thrash attack" oriented. I believe these songs were played:

1. Siren's Song- Fighting Dogs
2. Polar Bear Club- Silent Majority
3. Burned- Caustic Christ
4. Silence- From Ashes Rise
5. Pass the Torch- Flickerflame
6. Secession- Requiem
7. Duck Butter, Then- Ultra Dolphins
8. Some Natures Catch No Plagues- Saetia
9. Rotten Kid- Graf Orlock

Everything was fine until Quinn found a stack of LPs in the corner of the studio. Will Smith's "Freakin It" LP single being one of them. so we played the house mix, then went into Blondie's "Heart of Glass (Disco Version)" plus some other messes from terrible albums. There were a lot of technical difficulties in-studio because I had never used the dj system before, nor put caller's on air. but everything worked out fine. My friend Matt from the band Broadway Calls called in from Canada, where they were on tour for the past two and a half weeks. We closed out the show with "Sonny" by New Found Glory, in memory of Dana Flax, who was hit by a car and died the previous week. She was a close friend to many of my fellow classmates/friends, and it's difficult going through another unexpected loss in our freshman class. It's another kind of heartache.

Death and my own mortality have been on my mind a lot lately, and, ironically (i guess?), it's made me more stoked on life everyday. Carpe diem. Love it while you got it, because we'll never have time like this again.
