This isn't an episode of Self Help Radio but I'm in the habit of letting you know what I am doing on Tuesdays so what the hell. Here's one of those blog potsts.
As I've explained, I was too preoccupied with the impending death of my country to focus on making an episode of Self Help Radio this week. I just couldn't get my act together. My brain kept telling me to "take a mental health day" - something I've never done. Instead of an episode of Self Help Radio, I just played a lot of music that I might not ever really play on Self Help Radio - electronica, jazz, experimental. All taken from new releases I've listened to over the past few months. As I played them, I do think I was distracted a bit from the coming shitstorm.
Maybe it'll help you too. You can listen
at the KBOO web page. Or you can listen
at the Self Help Radio web page. (If the latter, username SHR + password selfhelp.) It's very little me, very much lots of I think interesting toons. See you on the other side.
