Quotation
du jour: Kate Bush ~ I
think it's almost a law of nature that there are only certain things
that hit an emotive space, and that's what was always special for me
about music: it made me feel something.
[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 NYC again, which was fine with me. When you're
tired of New York, you're tired of life, to paraphrase Dr Johnson. ]
Because
it included a song by Dan Fogelberg – for the fourth time in five
weeks! -- today's installment is automatically given and A+ in my
book (or, on my blog). (John Ulett, a.k.a. "Uman," the
host, spoke about Dan briefly, and remarked upon what an
extraordinary talent we lost when he passed. No argument here!)
The
fact is, this episode was tumbling towards a B+ until Dan came on.
There was certainly nothing i disliked,
but not much that i loved, either.
I
also had a minor technical problem. Some of the schtuff that gets
played here is pretty obscure and sometimes i can't immediately
identify it. When that happens, i go to KSHE's home page and it will
show what's playing. Not today, though. For the entire four hours, it
indicated that they were playing "Learning To Fly" by Pink
Floyd, which was the song that they played right before the Klassics
Show began. The fourth song? I have no idea who performed that, even
after some frantic Googling.
However!
All was not lost. I have the Tune In Radio app on my phone (where i
have KSHE as a favourite), and i discovered after the first hour of
desperate Googling, that Tune In was showing the artists and titles.
This was life saver. I mean, who's ever heard of Max Gronenthal
before? (Turns out he was in Grand Funk Railroad under the name Max
Carl.) (Whatever went wrong on KSHE's home page has now been fixed,
it would seem. I'm not listening but apparently they're playing The
Beatles' "Dig A Pony" as i type.
