The image above is the first image that came up with I googlied "Why Do You Keep Doing This?" It's from here. I have no idea what show it's from.
A while ago, a person who I was texting with during one of my indiepop a to z shows asked me if I would ever get finished. "Probably not," I responded. He then texted, "Why do you keep doing this?"
Gee, I can't remember if I had a response, but I guess I do have a couple now. They are:
1) The music is great. It's fun to share this kind of music. &
2) It satisfies a kind of OCD need to organize & list-make I have.
The truth is, I enjoy the process of gathering the music, listening to it (some of it I haven't really listened to in years!), deciding if it fits in the "indiepop" genre. I hope I'll get to finish it - I hope I have that many years left doing radio - but even if I don't, I've enjoyed the process.
A long time ago, I started collecting bands that I missed (you know, like Allo Darlin' showed up way past the time I was doing the letter A) & thought how I'd add them the next time around.
The next time around! Boy was I thinking differently then!
(I still collect bands I missed though.)
Random thoughts & other unrelated information from the dude who does "Self Help Radio" - a radio show which originated in Austin, Texas & now makes noise in Portland, Oregon. Listen to new & old shows & look at playlists at selfhelpradio.net.
