Early Morning Cold Taxi

It is freezing again this morning. While weather widget claims it’s 50, the microclimate around our new house always feels a few degrees cooler than “at the airport.” And in the cold morning air, last night’s show still seems like a good one. I liked it, at least, and that’s what counts.

I don’t know if anyone heard the station ID I played with Camille Paglia. Named “Palia” in the IDs folder, the promo appeared to have been some kind of ambush, as a couple Williams students (you know the sort) stuck a microphone in her face and demanded that she plug WCFM. Unsurprisingly, she comes off as a bit confused and defensive. Oopsy! In retrospect, perhaps a little mean spirited, but it seemed funny at the time. I wonder if most of the Big Name station IDs are like that, with some visiting celebrity awkwardly stammering “what was the name again? wcfm? is that a radio station?” I wouldn’t be surprised.

So, I managed to publish the playlist live. Remember to IM your requests to “thatwayrequests.” Soon, I’ll follow the lead of NPR’s Scott Simon, Trader Joe, and everyone’s moms by establishing a twitter account. Blah blah, who cares, etc.

I’d also like to start publishing these shows as low bitrate podcasts. My recording software crapped out on me (thanks for nothing RadioLover!) and I didn’t get last night’s show. So perhaps I’ll post some other MP3. But in the future, I’ll get it right.

Adios!
