it's not as good as the best college radio i've heard. there was this metal show on princeton university's station last year and the DJ was such a charming dork it was great. the music was good too.
It's a little bit of consolation for the black hole of bitterness inside me, yes. But that sucks, I wish people were more interested in the awesome, beautiful weirdness of the past.

Sad to hear Yoon announce she is graduating soon and Jetlagg 88 will have the final episode in 4 or 5 shows =( She played Vangelis's soundtrack to "The Apocalypse of Animals", which is a psychedelic French nature documentary from 1970:

three years pass...
I still don’t have a blog to dump this stuff, so:
I’ve lived in Boston for years and I’ve always been really disheartened by the lack of a dance program on Saturday evenings (on both commercial and non-commercial radio). I finally started to make moves to remedy the situation. Inspired by Maura’s show on Boston College’s WZBC, I starting plotting the structure of a dance program on MIT’s WMBR and this week I started recording a demo episode. It’s a survey of Eurodance from 1990 to 2010!
A few random ideas:
- A weekly show sounds impossible, so I’ve been thinking about a format where it’s possible to have reruns. I really loved that Brave New Waves on CBC Radio 2 stuck to three or four different structures: survey episodes, occasional “let’s play new music” episodes, interview episodes, and performance (usually pre-recorded mixes) episodes. They’d rerun everything but the “let’s play new music” episodes and it seemed fine to me as a listener.
- I also want to steal Patti Schmidt’s radio voice, e.g. https://youtu.be/c3v0PJmByx8
- I love a lot of the fixtures of weekend dance radio. Especially shout out calls-ins. I think my love for this comes from my love of the New Dance Show (https://youtu.be/CgdG5KAbf18). I really need to figure out how-to make this happen. I think it’s probably easiest to fake it.
- I also really love drops from the performer you’re about to play so I started asking some people to record them and, shockingly, they started doing just that. In the past day, I’ve chatted with Veronica Almqvist from Smile.dk, Aneela Mirza from Toy-Box, and Thea Austin from Snap! Thea (I’m imaging we’re now on a first name basis) is now a successful lobbyist for global women’s issues.
- Like everyone else who loves this type of thing, I love The Electrifying Mojo and The Wizard. I especially loved their use of weird recordings in their mixes like stuff they recorded from TV. I decided to make this episode Y2K themed so I’ve been ripping audio from YouTube videos with hysterical people talking about floating-point overflow issues.
