The reason the theme for tonight's Self Help Radio is "paralyzed" is possibly the main reason I pick themes: I noticed that there were lots of songs I liked called "Paralyzed." (Or "Paralysed" because British English.) I know that's a boring answer for a theme but it really is how it works most of the time. I'm listening to a record, then another one, & I notice a couple of songs, & I think, "Maybe that would make a good theme." I create a folder on my computer & as time passes I find other songs & come up with other ideas that might go into the folder.
One of my obsessions - which I think I've realized a few times - is to have an entire show with all the songs having the same name. If Self Help Radio were still two hours long, I do believe I would be able to fill the entire show with nothing but songs called "Paralyzed" (or, you know, "Paralysed"). Alas, it's three hours long. Which is fine, I have found some songs I really like & hope you'll like too.
Three hours! Tonight! Midnight to 3am Portland time! On 90.7fm in town! & online at kboo.fm! I'll try not to be like a deer in the headlights.
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.
