What’s cool about some of these shows is that my musical selection is a touchstone to what was going on at my life when the show was originally recored. For example, on today’s show I played a track by Entrain, which means I was dating Liz and she was a huge fan. I also played “The History of the Word Fuck.” I knew Cliff from work and he sent me that audio file. You wouldn’t believe the hoops I had to jump through to burn that on to CD to play at the radio station in 1997. Anyway, Cliff and the whole crew from the office were and are very special people. The tracks by McLuhan and Kroker, Kroker & Gibson reminds me how knee-deep I was in media theory and post-modern philosophy back then.
Oh, and the music on today’s show is fantastic. Dig it.
