*Another great track from from Pysch funk sa-re-ga ("Incidental music").

*New Radiohead! ("Little by little") Kinda dense stuff.

I've been involved in the training of a new programmer, Mark, this week and last. He has done radio work before but not since 2002. He pretty much knows his stuff, though. His last day with me is next week, March 14, 2011. He will be programming the latter half of the show. I'm looking forward to hear what he has come up with.

Today's program was perhaps a bit more jazzier show than others recently but still featured the usual BTT variety. I was pleased to be able to play another track from the The Black Lodge Singers; I played their version of the Flintstones' theme in late 2006 and got great reaction at that time. Another fave this week was "The city of Granada on the surface of Mars"; it seems to be about a city on the surface of Mars, that's it. Notable too was O. Rex's version of "Gimme shelter"; holy extreme low-fi Batman!

Just wish I hadn't tripped over my tongue as much as I did. Oh well, I will be more fluid in the vocal department next week.
