Glumness that has been on me all week has lifted but it’s left me exhausted and I really feel like it should be the weekend now.
Was meant to be going to see Oh Sees but I wasn’t really fussed and the person I was going with dropped out. So now I’m out to a work-adjacent thing but I’d rather just go sit in the park!
Had a lovely time in the garden with my fave neighbour just now, just shipped Fig off to the cattery one night early which I’m ecstatic about, now making sesame packet noodles with some veg and, as inspired by the noodle thread, broken up fish fingers. Got so much work to do tonight but its my Friday and a train pina is just around the corner
I think there’s a few people signed up to do a one off, and some people with zero experience of recording a show
I’ve got a lot of incredible tunes to put in. I’m a bit concerned that I’m setting the bar too high with this and other shows won’t live up to to the standard I’m setting
If it doesn’t spoil any surprises - are you theming or framing your show in any way?
I’ve done a couple of different radio shows in the past so comfortable with the technical side (though I don’t have everything I need to hand) - I just found planning took up quite a lot of my week to the point it became a chore, and maybe that is making me put off starting a new one.
Whether I get involved or not, I’m really looking forward to hearing everyone’s shows.
I used to do a weekly show, and that was too much. Monthly is good though - by the time I’ve put in a track from each album I’ve bought that month, and a track from every band I’ve seen (or misssed!), and then a track or two I love that’s just reached a landmark anniversary then I’ve easily got at least an hour. And then I pick out some tracks that join it all together and that’s about it
I’m still working, stretching my very rudimentary google apps script knowledge to try to partially automate a boring task. Will prob stop soon for the day as I don’t really know what I’m doing.
Got no work done most of the day as there were workers pruning trees with chainsaws in the garden all day and I couldn’t hear myself think
