No podcastin' this week

[petronia]

Because I'm flying to Philly very early Wednesday morning for a conference. As per its history of always my laptop has chosen to break down precisely when I need to use it outside of the house: first the external battery expired, then (after I replaced it via ebay vendor and an extended saga of Canada Post being unable to read a correctly printed address) the internal battery - or so runs the going theory, unless anyone can come up with a better reason why the clock would have slowed massively and EVENTUALLY STARTED RUNNING BACKWARD before Windows stopped booting altogether. I could be stuck in a Doctor Who ep, but I doubt it. If a frood inna bow tie shows up and sonicks it back to life I'll let you know.

Which is all to say, I don't have the tracklisting, because my laptop won't turn on. XD; I just played a bunch of Libertines tracks, though - and oh yeah, My Little Airport's cover of "What Katie Did". The internet hoops I had to jump through to get hold of that shiz.

So what was the commentary like? Did you relate the saga or just stick to musical facts?

There's no time to relate a saga. XD I went over it pretty lightly - here's a band, they broke up, now they're getting back together, Imma play you a b-side now. I talked about them putting their demos up on the internet, which is the only possible way to get hold of some of this stuff, even though policy as a radio DJ is that you can't tell ppl to go download things illegally.

They're getting back together to play versions of the songs that have the punk noise and confusion layer taken off so that you can hear the jazz guitar underneath, XD.

This was your tracklist: Can't Stand Me Now --> Time for Heroes --> Smashing --> I Got Sweets --> Music When the Lights Go Out --> For Lovers --> What Katie Did (Cover). Time for Heroes doesn't fit in with the softness of the rest of them but I guess you needed one more Up the Bracketish song?

Thanks!

I like the soft songs too much, probably. XD
