Well if you're going to do a radio show about darkness, it helps that the show happens in the middle of the night, right?
You might surprised at how many musicians have written songs about darkness. I was. The idea for the show came during a late-night dog walk - during the winter, there aren't many hours of daylight in Portland, & oftentimes we must walk our dogs in the darkness because we're otherwise occupied in the brief hours of sunlight. The wife & I were commenting on just how dark it seems to get in Portland as opposed to other places we've lived. It could be a combination of many things - fewer street lights, larger trees, lower-sitting clouds - but it just seems a different kind of darkness, more intense, more consuming, than the relatively bright darkness of Texas, as an example. It made me think, what would a radio show about darkness be like?
Tonight you'll find out! Self Help Radio's show about darkness airs from midnight to 3am tonight (or Tuesday morning however you'd like to calculate the day) on 90.7fm in town & kboo.fm everywhere - & certainly everywhere in the contiguous United States, it will indeed be dark.
Don't count on us for light tonight!
