Well it's been six months since I started doing the radio show. I was reckoning I'd got the measure of the knobs and dials and gotcha's on the studio desk and had the beginning feelings of competancy doing this thing. Then some blob of discrete matter bloody well had to attach itself to the underside of a CD when I wasn't looking. My attentions were elsewhere prefading in another track in my headphones then I realised that there was no sound coming from the on-air monitor...two minutes in, The Egg got stopped in it's tracks then there was the deafening sound of dead air...all 20 seconds of it...ouch.

Anyway this is tonights playlist. I think my fav tracks were 13th Floor Elevators and Silver Apples.

Kinda had enough of the .Text wierdness which I'm sure wasn't instrinsic to the .Text code but it just wouldn't work properly here. So I've bitten the bullet and defected to dasBlog.

All in all quite nice. It's also nice having comments back again and dasBlog has HIP-CAP built in too so hopefully no more comment spam.
