Hey, George Bush still is not our President

And that's still nice. Maybe it's the short term memory loss, maybe it's Stockholm Syndrome, whatever it is, I still feel the need to remind myself of that every day. Phew!

Tonight, Father Angus is at the helm of this sonic space ship. At least, tonight I am pretending that the station is a space ship and not a communist/backwoods bunker. It must be my Star Trek-esque shirt. It's red, so I know I'm expendable.

Last Show in Which We Can Play Anti-Bush Music and Still Have It Be Relevant or Trenchant Show!

Next week at this time, dear friends and valued listeners, we will have a new president. For this we rejoice! But one thing about bad times, political, economic, or what have you, is that they engender artistic creativity. There was SO MUCH great music about the soon-to-be-out-the-door George W. Bush that will cease to be topical as of next Tuesday, and if you listen to this show with any frequency, you know that we've played a bit of it over the last eight years...thus, we present tonight's experiment, presided over by all three of us.

Happy New Year! How's yer head?

Happy New Year, valued listeners!! Let us hope that 2009 represents a marked improvement over its predecessor. Tonight's experiment is principally overseen by Bad Sister Heidi, with Father Angus typing and pushing CDs at BSH when she is not ruling imperious over the board and making decisions by fiat. Reverend Velveteen is hovering nearby, in spirit if not in flesh. Lo! Behold! She has arrived! Rejoicing is general, though subdued owing to our collective not-quite-over-it status.

This evening we bring you music suggestive of how many of you may have felt last night or earlier this morning...and of how you may feel now as a result of your manifold sins and transgressions and overindulgences.
