subbing for dj neo!

ok, so i'm studying radio, and every time someone brings up the verve's "bittersweet symphony," our current dj will look either extremely excited or pained and go "listen... bittersweet symphony is neither bangin' nor cringe nor something in between. it eludes all attempts to categorize it. we do not know what it is. some covers are immortal. some produce night-saving catharsis. some are so closely related to bubblegum music that listening to them may cause an allergic reaction against your own ears. I cannot teach you about the bittersweet symphony."

returning to an old last-minute show-planning tradition by playing a bunch of covers and reworks of b.s., interspersed with various bitter and sweet symphonies drawn from the world of video game music. maybe tonight is the night we'll figure out if b.s. is a good song or not, but i wouldn't hold your breath.

the good people here at it is what it is are surrounded by cat people, and we have to admit it's wearing us down. today's show is inspired by near ones and dear ones, as well as the cats they adore.

after all, cats have a lot going for them! there's something irrepressible, even heroic, in the way they're the main characters of their own story. they're cute and weird in an alchemical, mutually reinforcing sort of way, with that tiny bit of predatory darkness for seasoning. and, when the light hits them just right, they know a peace and love deeper than just about anything. so, as we enter Leo season, maybe it's time to get in touch with our feline side. meow!

sometimes, like ken, our job is just beach.

all we have to do today is splash around, take in the boardwalk; maybe if we're having a lovely enough time, we'll find a bonfire and see where the evening and the ocean take us.

inspired by the one and only lizbot, with whom i am show-swapping this week, i am honored to present to you this sonic marriage of person and machine, classical and electronic, computation and soul. let's allow those two strands to get even more braided than they usually do, and see what we can fashion with the results.

better late than never to an observation of the pride season, and as this june comes to a close it's time to rest; to reflect and remember fondly; and to build capacity and solidarity for whatever heat may be coming in the weeks and months to come. we're here; we're dear; get enthused to it.

one of my first playlists ever for prb was about stars; it was about a certain kind of inspired resolute loneliness.

since then, for these three years or so, i've wondered what else is out there for us. this is an attempt to answer that question.

i think we've probably found more motion, more togetherness, and more warmth, but let's check in on that together.

i did a different rain show last year-ish, kind of an ode to a certain lo-fi ASMR coziness. this is not that show.

this is the rain that raises our concern; the kind that we take shelter from and/or run wild in; the kind that parts our seas; the kind that leaves us awed and grateful.

the seasons have run their course once more, and we stand together at the precipice of another set of midsummer days' dreamings.
as such, it is time to renew our acquiaintance with the weird sisters, with titania, with sycorax, and above all, with our dear patroness mab.

she arrives today with sweet delights, after which she will lighten our feet and set our hearts into feverish motion; perhaps too much so, by the time all is said and done.
but if a dream is merely an invitation to connect -- neurochemical signal to neurochemical signal, sleep to waking, past to present, sounds to fury to nothingness -- then perhaps we can forgive her some of her eagerness, and connect with her as she draws the dream to a close.

on the occasion of this, the immediate aftermath of our yearly membership drive; in celebration of the fine music- and community-driven institution that we have here in WPRB; in gratitude for the breadth and depth of the contributions made by listeners, sponsors, and volunteers; in solidarity with selfsame; with firm resolve to continue to provide dope, meaningful tunes on the regular, i present to you this collection of songs for your aural perusal.
