PROGRAM 7: PLANNING’S FOR THE BIRDS [10.20.11]

Back after another month off the air. You'd think with all that extra time to plan, this show would be a breeze. Instead a swift gust blew through my record collection. Half way through the show I derailed a Trini set (though we eventually got back to it) after realizing I skipped an entire stack of records. If you listen carefully, the Mighty Grouse is unaware that the mic is open for the first set. He was probably singing along the loudest for the Walker Brothers. More embarrassing than the singing is his complete lack of lyrical understanding. The last few minutes of the show (which just included uneventful back-announcing over Carnatic music) were cut off as my digital recorder ran out of juice.
