Hot on the heels of last week's show about disaster, Self Help Radio quickly gets more specific & present a program about volcanoes. But why so soon after disaster? Why not have a couple of volcano songs along with the earthquake & flood & famine songs from last week? Because Self Help Radio enjoys getting annoyingly specific. A disaster show is simply about disaster - you see, there can be more shows, one about floods, one about earthquakes, one about famine, & - tonight! - one about volcanoes.
Fair enough. But why volcanoes? Were you even paying attention to your schedule? Look, I've been grooving to Momus' new record Athenian. When I got to the track, "Under The Volcano," I thought, Could there be many songs about volcanoes? & I began to gather them. & when I felt I had enough, I scheduled the show. I didn't pay any attention to what preceded it. Because who has the time for that? Certainly not a radio show that gets annoyingly specific!
Lots of fun songs & fun guests & (because I was craving them) funyuns on tonight's Self Help Radio. It's on midnight to 3am on 90.7 fm in Portland (& its environs) & online everywhere at kboo.fm. Portlandites: we do have active volcanoes near, & I worry the show will seem provocative. If you're near any active volcano, let them know I am doing this out of love. Thanks.
