I just picked this week’s songs by coolness factor. This is what sounds cool to me.

Well, you take a step backward and two steps forward. My DJ software has become unreliable, so I had to go back to mocking up the show in Garage Band. It’s a little less fun to put the show together, but it has the virtue of not crashing! Anyway, so thrilled am I to be pumping out ANY kind of show that this one is all about goodness and light.

I’m not sure what has led me to do ANOTHER apocalypse show (they even have their own category!) except to say that my birthday was recently, and I’m kinda neurotic about birthdays.
