Another every-other Thursday, another playlist. Close readers of my playlist (of whom there are approximately none) will note that the "bonus beats" portion of the show, the time before the official 7am start time, has been getting shorter as the semester rolls along. Why this should be the case -- that I was finding it easier to get up early when it was crack o' doom dark out than I am now when the birds are up and singing and sunrise was at 6:29 this morning -- I'm not quite sure. So I regret that I only had time for one Sonny Rollins track and not the whole album side. I think the highpoint of the show, for me, was the segué from Sarah Vaughn to Au Revoir Simone. I lost track of my time and had to cue up something from the ARS disc without having a chance to preview it. One of those "oh hell, I hope this works" moments. Altho, like I told DJ Xiane, if it doesn't it's only a few minutes of bad radio, not the end of the world. And of course, it got balanced out later when I hit the stop button on the Donald Byrd track by mistake around minute 5 of a 7 minute track.

Anyway, I'll definitely have one more Thursday show, on 5/10. New schedule starts up the Sunday after that and I'll just have to wait and see where & when I end up.
