I had more fun putting my show together this time than I’ve had with any of the other ones thus far, so it will be interesting to hear/see if that translates into my favorite show or not. Just felt like all of the crazy genre leaps I always make (I go from Harry Partch to DJ Screw in the space of four songs here, which is either my finest moment or something else entirely) weren’t as strained or as ADD-jumpy as they usually are. I’m probably wrong. I STILL manage to screw up at least twice — the technology at the studio is so user-friendly as to rival a Mickey Mouse Close-N-Play for accessibility, and yet I still manage to bring a fader up at the wrong moment here and there. Ah well. Stream here as always!
