A Brush With Fame
My preferred radio station, WTMD (streaming at http://www.wtmd.org) is pledge-driving. That part isn’t pleasant. The good part is that to promote it, they’re asking listeners to create 3 song ‘mixtapes’ and they’re playing the ones they like. I tossed one in yesterday - ‘Songs I Heard for the First Time on Homicide’. Apparently, the announcers fought over who got to play it! The morning guy won, but I didn’t get the e-mail about it playing until after the fact. Still managed to hear the back half of my mixtape by accident. It was:
Barenaked Ladies, ‘What A Good Boy’
Morphine, ‘Buena’
The Iguanas, ‘Boom Boom Boom’
They announced my name and my Homicide-love on the air. So an excellent musical morning commute for me.
