Quotation
du jour: Nick Hornby ~ I
love the relationship that anyone has with music ... because there's
something in us that is beyond the reach of words, something that
eludes and defies our best attempts to spit it out. ... It's the best
part of us probably ...
[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 back in New York City. Suits me!]
It
was the "Now That's What I Call KSHE" Labour Day weekend,
although in St Louis it would have been called the "Labor"
Day weekend, and listener-submitted playlists were featured for all
three days. On Sunday, they took up the second two hours of the
Klassics Show, and i was worried. I think that the last time a
listener took the helm, the joker programmed five songs in a row by
Slade. (I mean, really: i like Slade and all, but five in a row?)
I
worried for nowt. Overall, today's show scores an A (i.e., 5 stars
out of 5). Each half also scores an A, but i think – sorry Uman –
that the second half was marginally superior to the first! There was
lots of music that i love in both sections, part one's score was
reduced by a millimetre with the inclusion of Bad Company's "Rock
Steady." Bad Company were a great band, but that song? I've
heard it so often i'm sick of it, and, after all, the Klassics Show
is supposed
to be about songs you haven't heard in a while.
