I should start by saying that I’ll take next week off. That time off will give me an opportunity to plan out the next show. I take suggestions for themes for every tenth episode, so please leave suggestions for episode #20 in the comments portion of this post. I will consider any theme, but refrain from the trite (war, civil rights, abortion) or the absurd (alternative energy, British prime ministers, home schooling). The more creative you are, the better the results will hopefully be.
Anyway, a word about volume.
I don’t master my shows. What I do, however, is try to ensure everything hits the same peaks. I don’t feel compelled to compress everything to a brick-shaped wave file, so you’ll notice that songs like “Everybody’s Talking” in this week’s show seem a little more quiet. But, trust me, they do eventually hit roughly the same high points as the rest of the show.
I guess I should also comment on language. Because I play music that I like and I don’t generally gravitate toward the vulgar, you won’t find too many expletives in these shows. But I don’t buy all my CDs at Wal-Mart. Capiche?
Enjoy.
