Quotation
du jour: Harlan Ellison (1934-2018) ~ I think art must be tough! I
think art has to be hard. I don't think it should be easy. I think it
should take foot-pounds of energy to produce that art, otherwise we
would have more mediocre writers, and we don't have room for any more
mediocrity in the world. There's already enough of it being visited
on us night and day through the Internet, and through television, and
through politics.
[As
you may or may not know, i live in Canada, and for some reason KSHE
doesn't stream their audio to here. I have to connect to a VPN to
spoof a non-Canadian address. This week, according to
https://whatismyipaddress.com/,
i was listening from New York City – a place i've actually been to
a few times, and love.]
I
have three words to say about this week's edition. Wow, wow, and
wow!
As
my regular reader may recall, last week's edition scored a mere 2 on the SRQ (Spriggs's Radio Quality) scale. Today's was definitely a
1! (Sorry, Bo Derek, but i was trained in research and, on a scale of
one to ten, a one is the top score.) Look at that playlist, whew, so
much there that i love and not one song that i disliked.
Alas,
though, there was one song which, judging by its chorus, was called
"Sail On, Sail On" and i have no idea who the performer was
(and the information didn't appear on KSHE's website). I tried
Googling the lyrics and i found songs by The Beach Boys and Lionel
Richie (or maybe it was The Commodores, who cares?). I know it was
neither of them so it shall remain this week's mystery track.

Last
week, at my other
job (what, you don't think this blog is work?) i applied for a week's
holiday or, as i worded it, psychotherapy leave. Plying my trade in a
high-pressure environment where i'm surrounded by idiots six days a
week is getting me down – i start to fear i'll lose it and wind up
a cabbage. The earliest week i could get was at the end of July,
moan, groan. Meanwhile, though, my medicine from The Beer Store®
and the music i played at home this week helped a lot. Here's what
bothered the optical drive:
