The truth about Wednesday night

It can now be revealed that I pre-taped this week's showgram so I could attend UWM's basketball victory over Valpo. I hate to do that (pre-tape) and hardly ever do. If I really was cool or nuts, I would have been at the Motorhead show. I hope to see the Lemmy movie at the Times, tho.

Post blizzard pre-February freeze showgram playlist

I was fortunate enough to traverse roads that were pretty well plowed by the time I arrived at the station last night. Some other DJs faced more daunting challenges earlier in the day but, gosh darn it, they made it to the MSE studios downtown. It warms my heart, sort of like the new tracks and 80s at 8:30 I played this week (with special guest Bunnyman)......
