Good Music is a part of a complete breakfast

Today's show was an absolute blast. I had a lot of fun just playing pretty much anything that I wanted to hear. anything that was played and it had a "theme" was totally coincidental and it wasn't like I forced myself to play nothing but dancable music. It was funny my mother called in and said "you're playing some really interesting music..." I have a feeling she didn't like the chemical brothers track I played, then again, I am not surprised.

I think the best irony of the show was the first song. Granted, I said that I didn't feel like playing dance music. Funny enough, I did play a few songs that you could dance to. The whole point of my show having the title it has is so I could get away with playing whatever I wanted. I don't like restricting myself to just one particular genre or idea. Honestly, I also got tired of repeating myself like I have been doing in recent shows. The good news is that the holidays are coming up soon and that means NEW MUSIC! Hopefully next semester will have more variety.

During my show, the Emergency Alert System went off. Lucky me, I had to do the monthly test. I just have to laugh that I wasn't trained very well in how to do that. The odds of the EAS going off during my shift are rare. I've been at the station for a year now and this was my first time doing a test. I'm proud to say that I survived doing that.

I only have three more shows left for the semester, which means last show is December 20th. I am right now in the works of planning the last three. So far, I am thinking of at least doing a show that would feature old school hip hop and 90s hip hop stuff. Rohan (my friend and wmuc's music director) will most likely co-host this with me. Another idea is to have a show in which I play the best stuff of the year. Well the stuff I think was the best of the year in terms of remixes, singles, albums, ect. I think one more idea that was pitched was to do a christmas special. If you have any ideas for my last three shows or have any requests, please feel free to share!
