On Self Help Radio's anniversaries, we revisit an old theme. Nearly nineteen years ago, on October 9, 2002, Self Help Radio premiered on KBOO. It was two in the afternoon. Maybe it was a sunny day. The theme we revisited this week however happened in 2005, on June 25 of that year, on an exceptionally sunny day in Austin. It was "sunlight," & to me it never felt like I put enough time into it. Maybe because I stupidly forgot the Lloyd Cole song "So You'd Like To Save The World." I mean, c'mon! He sings "sunlight" like a dozen times!
That mistake has been corrected while doubtless other have cropped up. Many guests appear (you can see who & when below) & I even share with you some audio from that 2005 show. I share quite a bit of it, actually. It was a strange thing to listen to. I have probably not heard it before - & I certainly have no memory of the actual show. Though it did make me a bit nostalgic for that filthy old studio on the third floor of the tenement at 5th & San Jacinto in Austin. I am lucky I never got tetanus there, but I miss it all the same.
Listen to the show at the KBOO website or at the Self Help Radio website. If you use the latter, pay attention to password information on the site. Unlike actual sunlight, this show will neither make you tan nor light your way. It's just audio & stuff.
