In my rush to get to the station on time, I forgot a few CDs and my blank CDRs. Thus, I didn’t record the show--so you’ll have to use your imagination to fill in what I might have said between songs. But do you really listen to radio to hear what the DJ says? Besides, I don’t think this show was as inspired as the last. Best to have no audible record of the decline.

Oh how I wait for the moment when I too can listen to ear candy...sigh...so maybe NYC isn't the center of the universe anymore. Congrats, may your show live long and prosper! :) JR
You could also play the Scissor Sisters' cover of the Floyd track! Or at least part of it -- it does run kind of long.
Sorry I missed your second show. Next time, I'll stay awake and call in.
Scissor Sisters, eh? Aren’t they that neo-disco group whose star and press coverage are both rising? They’ve done a cover of a Pink Floyd tune? Oh, wait, I just finished downloading a sample.
..... (listening)
I see. They do all of “Comfortably Numb.” I was thinking more of the brief portion on disc 2 (?) of The Wall where you hear only the question. But this single is infectious, in part for its nods to other, now kitschy, dance music (FGTH’s “Relax,” the Bee Gees’ “Stayin’ Alive”). Maybe I can snip it up and burn it onto a CD. Anything more and I might try the patience of the two or three people listening. As it is, they probably think the songs by Single Gun Theory and Saint Etienne yesterday were a bit much....
