You know how some shows, in an effort to be dramatic, save the “good songs” for right before the commercial break, or for the end of the show? Not me. I played only good songs on last night’s show. You see, at Woody Radio, we have no commercial breaks, and on Tuesday nights, I have no defined ending to my show. I go at least 3 hours, and then do what we call “overtime”. Gidget and Boris literally encourage me to just be on the air, playing music, for as long as I want.
So herein lies the problem: without these boundaries, I don’t know when I’m supposed to be playing the bad, mediocre, and so-so music. So I just play the good stuff, and that way, it’s a whole lot less confusing for me.
Last week, I accidentally created a new feature for the show: The Fortune Cookie Report. Basically, I open up and eat a fortune cookie on the air, and read the fortune out loud, and then make some hopefully pithy remark about it, right before getting back into the music. So I did the same this week, and I’ve decided that whatever fortune I get, if you’re listening to the show, it’s your fortune too.
Oh–and the great 2019 music keeps rolling in, so I’m rolling it out to you. It’s shaping up to be a pretty nice year for music so far.
Do me–and yourself–a favor. Click the audio link below, and listen to at least a part of this great music. I think you’ll find some new sounds that you love.
