my first no show
wednesday, february 6, 2002
well, apparently there's a real easy thing to do to deal with nervousness. you get a call from your tech. guy who tells you he is stuck in a meeting, and the show has been re-scheduled for tomorrow. :)
unfortunately i might not have a webradio link for them because their webcast is off the air currently. some computer problem. feh. oh well. i'll tape my shows and that'll do it.
i'm very relieved, and slightly annoyed--i kind of wanted to get it over with. which is a pretty normal feeling, i guess. i'm only semi-done with about half of the setlist for the first show, and i grow less and less happy with it the more i tinker.
currently, the first setlist will include the following chunk. it's extremely likely to change dramatically when i work on it tomorrow. i already know several songs that need to either move, or get new songs to envelope them:
Milla Jovovich - Gentleman Who Fell
Lush - Ladykillers
Kristin Hersh - Pennyroyal Tea
Nirvana - The Man who sold the world
Nick Cave - Where the wild roses grow (prob. replace)
Morrissey - Every day is like Sunday
Bree Sharp - David Duchovny
Titiyo - Come Along
Voltaire - Man Upstairs
Siouxsie - Face to Face
NIN - and all that could have been
Kate Bush - Love and Anger
Wolfsheim - Heroin, she said
The Vapors - Turning Japanese
No Doubt - Just a Girl
Throwing Muses - Vicky's Box
Smashing Pumpkins - Today
Tom Waits - Hold On
A Camp - Bluest Eyes in Texas
i'm like a skittish palomino on the russian steps... hehe. don't want to waste good songs that i'd rather have in a themed setlist. i love how i'm putting down way too much energy into something that most likely not a single soul will hear. but whatever. :)
i need dinner. and a movie. i've been way too swamped with work this week. i feel spongy and tired. so. cin cin!�� 7:15 p.m.
...
yes.. i'm 4 hrs away from hosting my first crap radio show on audionet. i have a tentative tracklist, thrown together today. if there is a theme, i guess it would be "acousticky guitars," but there are definitely several songs that don't fit that theme.
i consider tonight a practice run, to learn how to work the equiptment as i go along, so playing a fabulous setlist is sort of lesser of a priority. an okay setlist with songs i feel comfortable, albeit not really love, will have to do. bleh. nervous.
it's really not necessary to be nervous--listeningship (as angela pointed out) is tiny, to say the least, so more than what, 5 people, out there really does not warrant this kind of nervosity, but, y'know. it doesn't work that way, does it?
i don't want to speak. i don't want to speak. i don't want to speak.
but on the off chance that i do speak, or you want to hear liz phair sing about girls, girls, girls, or bree sharp mooning over david duchovny, then i guess you could try tuning in.. er, give you link in a sec. :) cin cin! �� 4:15 p.m.
