KSHE Klassics Show, July 29th, 2018


Quotation du jour: Paul Simon ~ These are the days of miracle and wonder.

[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 via a VPN to spoof a non-Canadian address. This week, according to https://whatismyipaddress.com/, i was listening from somewhere in the Dallas/Fort Worth area – they weren't more specific than that. Neat: i've never been to Texas.]

Ah, The Klassics Show. Even when it's not OMFG brilliant (and this morning's wasn't) it's still brilliant. There was nothing i hated today. There were quite a few mediocre moments (Touch? Snail? Billy Thorpe?) (and the lyrics in that Glass Moon song are positively embarrassing) but also much wonderful and sublime music. I had chills running up and down my spine several times. Where did the four hours go?!?

I almost rated this edition as an A- but what kicked it up to an A was the Mama's Pride song, which i love. I have marked particular favourites with an asterisk (*).

It wasn't a painless listening experience, although better than some i've had in the past. A few minutes before the show was scheduled to begin, my Internet connection died. Some quick troubleshooting and a re-start sorted that out, but i confess i was worried – there was one morning last week when i was unable to connect to KSHE at all. There were also a few, mercifully brief, drop-outs, too, but not enough to induce me to slash my wrists.

Oh, and before anyone calls me a scientific ignoramus, i know that the picture below doesn't represent a black star. It's a black hole creating a new star. I just liked it.
