(Look at that beauty. Original image here.)
This was a bittersweet show to do. It was by request from Freeform deejay Jaxxmaster Kevrock - the fellow whose show has followed Self Help Radio for the past six months - & it turns out it's his last show for a while. He's taking six months off (that's the length of the Freeform schedule). He will be missed!
So I'm glad I did the show when I did! I wish I had recorded his first airbreak - Kev is actually a beekeeper & he said some powerful things about bees. Instead, all you get is my silliness & lots of songs about bees. By the way, for the record, the show is about 33% new. I suspect if I hadn't relied so much on the original show, I might have found many more new bee songs. As it happened, there are ten songs I didn't play on the original, & I think that's grand.
Listen to the show now at Self Help Radio dot net - pay attention to the username & password info (it's SHR & selfhelp). See what you'll hear on the show below.
& for fuck's sake save the bees!
