Whut???

[pheloniusfriar]

I just checked my bank account... expecting to find $19.34 to last me through to at least the middle of January... but instead, my student loans have been deposited. Before the school term starts. For the first time ever. So I can buy textbooks before my classes start. What is the world coming to? Heading out to Fatal Bert's for a sub, some wings, and a beer for a reasonably-priced celebration with Beep (who is old enough to drink now, wtf???). Welcome to 2014, wootles!!!

And... because popelaksmi had asked for some info on the stuff I played on New Year's Eve... here is the info sheet that I wrote for myself so I could do the show. Since most of the stuff I aired wasn't part of my personal collection, I used YouTube to do the whole show. To that end, I actually put together playlists for blocks of songs (I'd never done playlists before). So, if you're looking for a bunch of awesome music (some of which was new to me before I started putting the show together), here ya go! This is also what it looks like to put together 4 hours of radio (the descriptions of the sets have lots of information in them that I used as reference to talk about the sets too).
