May 20 2009: Good Guys Win, Bad Guys Die

Tonight was my triumphant return to Wednesday evenings. After a really shitty show and a week off Methanol Cereal is back on the airwaves. You're ecstatic, I can tell. Anyway, it was a pretty good show. Unfortunately, it was also my last show in which I was followed by DJ B squared. "Deconstructing Rock" was always a good time, and it was nice having a compatible replacement for the overnight shift. Unsurprisingly, Bardo Pond and Natural Snow Buildings make sense at one o'clock in the morning. I like to think we made up a pretty good block of programming as I usually could find a way to transition smoothly between shows (B^2 tended to play dronier, more experimental stuff). He will be missed, but I'm sure his replacement (Steve, who I believe is also link-less) will be just as good.

[If anyone is wondering (yeah right) I though the Lost season finale (the real reason for my absence last week) was kind of lame. First five minutes were cool. We'll see next year. But who gives a shit about that anyway?] Let's look at this week's playlist...
