Detractors of Self Help Radio might say that the show suffers when the themes explored are phrases or recurring words or verbs instead of concrete things, like cars, or ovens, or smoke, or cheese. Although I guess I did do a show about cheese. Anyway, I disagree with that imaginary detractor (since you need a listener base to have detractors, & the show has neither) because when some element is noticed - for example, that there are a lot of songs that feature a girl with something - & that is explored, a fun & interesting show is often the result. For example, today's show!
Sure, I'm biased, since I picked all the music, but I liked what I played on the show very much. You can just glance at the playlist below. In addition, there are silly interviews & other silly things, you know, like usual, but I am particularly happy with the songs, & all the things that you'll find on the show today with the girls: sandy blonde hair & a swingin' derriere, golden braids, grey eyes, green eyes, eyes like you, the loneliest eyes, light in her eyes, cars in her eyes, gun (& specifically machine guns), guitars, a synthesizer, a sunny smile, a curious smile, an attitude problem, a Northern soul collection, a white stuck, boys' names, boyfriends, rainbow conversation, &, well, everything! & even the sad things they have: a past, a halo, no body, no boy.
Hey! Having something that isn't is having nothing. Girls with nothing still have nothing. Think about it. Get really high & think about. It'll feel like first semester philosophy all over again!
The show is now at Self Help Radio's web site. You know about the ol' username (SHR) & the password (selfhelp) by now, right? Great. You're really with it. Like some of the girls on this show.
