I don\u2019t know if you know this about me but I\u2019m anal retentive about how I put together mixes from solipsistic NATION<\/b>. Where other DJs will do a set on the fly I know how my set is going to sound well in advance and plan my segues down to the nanosecond.<\/p>\n

But here\u2019s the thing: my day job has been consuming my life. The work has been challenging and a hell of a lot of fun but it hasn\u2019t left me with a lot of free time to meticulously put together a show. Out of necessity I went old school.<\/p>\n

Back when I used to DJ at WMFO 91.5FM<\/a> I would sometimes show up at the station 30 minutes to an hour before my show totally unprepared. I\u2019d grab a couple bricks of CDs and a handful of vinyl and go into an empty studio and quickly previous the new releases for hidden gems and string together a mix.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not the way I like to spin but working that quickly did keep me on my toes and take my show in unexpected directions. And that\u2019s what I did for today\u2019s show: just grab a bunch of stuff I\u2019ve been been listening to and digging and seeing if I can somehow tie them together for a show for you to enjoy.<\/p>\n

Let me know if it worked for you.<\/p>\n

If you liked today\u2019s show then please tell a friend about solipsistic NATION<\/b>. Maybe they\u2019ll like it to. In any case, thanks for listening. I\u2019ll see you next week.<\/p>\n
