Listening to music for this week's show, which has the theme "firsts," I found myself slowly realizing I had hours - hours - of music I could play. But I was only going to get one hundred & twenty minutes. There had to be some kind of filter to decide what was going to get played. & that filter, alas, is what I like.
This happened last week with the Johnny show. So many songs about different Johnnys! & yet, I ended up playing what I liked best. That doesn't seem fair.
Don't get me wrong - I am nervous about shows where the theme is kinda hard, & I can barely find enough for the show. But I am self-conscious enough to worry that - even after fifteen years - my taste in music might not be what's best for the show.
So please accept my apologies. I know Self Help Radio is my show, I've been doing it for a very long time, & I never play music I really hate or even dislike on it. But when I have so much music to sift through, & I gravitate toward the Morrissey song, I feel a little guilty.
Maybe this week I won't do that? Probably not.
