I like doing Valentine's Day shows, &, I suppose, the topics are almost limitless. But at a certain point, panic sets in. I've done (according to the Self Help Radio website's list of themes I've covered) eleven Valentine's Day shows (I have no idea why I didn't do one in 2006) with themes like love, hate, crushes, jealousy, boyfriends, girlfriends, love songs, lovesickness, finishing the line "love is…", & last year, valentines, but after I started gathering music for this year's show I realized I totally could've done an entire show on Romeo & Juliet without too much trouble. & now I'm just planning on playing a few songs about them in the middle of a larger show. Panic. Sets. In.
You could help, you know. You could suggest future Valentine's Day themes. Email ideas to me. Respond to this blog entry. Come to my house, slap me around a bit, & taunt me with better ideas. Anything. Because. Panic. Sets. In.
Not right away, though, since I have a year after tomorrow to think of something else. Tomorrow there'll be songs about all kinds of historical, mythical, & fictional lovers. I'm a little surprised that there aren't more pop songs about Pyramus & Thisbe, but I understand I'm not in charge of the world. Alas.
Self Help Radio's 2015 Valentine's Day show is on from 7 to 9am on 88.1 fm WRFL in Lexington, & online at wrfl dot fm. I'll have it up on the Self Help Radio web place long before Valentine's Day. I am told the show is a powerful aphrodisiac. Or was that a prank call?
