-------------------------
here's the playlist for my last broadcast on 91.7 fm at ktru. despite a significant effort from students/alumni/listeners to block the sale of the 91.7 frequency and transmitter to the university of houston, the fcc recently approved the transfer, and ktru will no longer be broadcast on 91.7 fm after 6 am (CST) april 28, 2011. ktru will continue to broadcast via ktru.org (streamable online and via several mobile devices) and via hd radio @ kpft hd 2.
for this special show, i selected several of my favorite bands and tracks and gave them one last spin on the houston airwaves. the selection is more song-oriented than my usual freeform shows, but with the temporary relinquishment of playlist requirements, i decided to take the opportunity to put together a show that was very, well...very me.
i got an enthusiastic call about the anna homler track, which made me very happy, because the caller's reaction mirrored my own when the song was first introduced to me by my fabulous friend dan plunkett (creator of nd magazine and co-proprietor of end of an ear records in austin, texas) sometime in the mid-to-late 90s. i also have dan to thank for introducing me to this heat's "a new kind of water". he first played it for me in his original record shop (the late, great 33 degrees in austin), and it was an unforgettable experience.
we attempted to make a digital recording of the show, but due to microphone issues (i.e., tons of static in the microphone), it's virtually unlistenable during the talksets (which overlap with the music on most occasions). i thoroughly enjoyed the music, though, and i WILL make a mix of these songs to share with friends & listeners soon. i just need to decide if i want to do a segued, music-only mix or a podcast with some commentary about the tracks played.
anyway, i'll continue to dj at ktru--and reach out to others electronically through music--for at least a little while longer. so stay tuned. (just not on fm anymore.)
