Episode 15

     Okay, so it wasn’t the “shameless pop extravaganza” I promised the folks at Jimmy’s, but there were some moments, especially toward the end of the show. In hindsight, I’m struck by how many chill-out/lounge tracks I put on the playlist. And I guess I’m surprisingly pleased by my attempts not to sustain a mood for more than a couple of songs at a time. Whether the end product constitutes a wonderful listening experience (or is something too disjunct for one sitting) is something I’ll have to leave to you, dear reader/listener. So if you know where to go, give it a shot and let me know what you think. I’m starved for feedback. (Oh, yeah, first caller: I really didn’t know you were totally sincere in inquiring about Pugsley Addams’s whereabouts. I live and learn....)
