Like many people the host of this show celebrates a personal annual event commemorating his birth. Actually that’s not quite true – the host of this show is neurotic to the extreme about it and normally keeps it a secret. But he’s having a nice week and is feeling expansive.

Today’s show is words, words words, full of sound and fury and for the most part signifying nothing. I rely too much on lyrics for my enjoyment.

What happens when a middle-aged guy puts together a music show about teenagers? It sounds like it was assembled decades ago, of course.

Who am I, you may ask, To which I reply, no WHO ARE YOU? The show is about personal identity this week, so take notes. Maybe you’ll finally learn who you are.

Changes at Darkmeat! I did a clean install on my computer, which results in inevitable chaos and suffering. What are these changes? A. New file format – m4a, the iPod standard. Not sure it plays on anything that doesn’t use iTunes. Feel free to write me if this is a problem and I’ll look into other solutions. B. Had to redo my commercials. High time! So the show is familiar territory. Bad love, a Dark Meat staple!

Today’s show is a tribute to Lou Reed, except typically I kinda lose track of him in the middle. Actually, let’s be charitable and say every single song is about Lou in some way, except for Ohio by the Sugarplastic. And even then, Lou woulda wanted some enigmatic sidetrack in a tribute, wouldn’t he? I don’t care. And THAT’S what Lou woulda wanted. * Velvet Underground – Rock & Roll – Loaded * Lou Reed/John Cale – I Believe – Songs For Drella * Laurie Anderson – The Beginning of Memory – Homeland * Brian Eno – Baby’s On Fire – Here Come The Warm Jets * Rupert Holmes – You Burned Yourself Out – Rupert Holmes * Sugarplastic – Ohio – Bang, The Earth Is Round * Harry Nilsson – I Guess The Lord Must Be In New York City – All Time Greatest Hits * Lou Reed – Sad Song – Berlin The show is sponsored today by iPrint Technologies!

Today, songs about the music business. It’s slightly different than a show I did a year or so ago which was songs about songwriting, because I kind of open and close with songs that really are about songwriting. Busy week, okay? Leave me be. And by the way, welcome back to MIXX, my DJ software! It doesn’t crash uncontrollably any more, allowing me to do the whole show in real time! Makes it either more spontaneous or amateurish, depending on how charitable you feel. * Joe Jackson – Hit Single – Laughter & Lust * The Kinks – Top Of The Pops – Lola Vs Powerman * The Beatles – Only A Northern Song – Yellow Submarine * Pink Floyd – Welcome To The Machine – Wish You Were Here * Residents – The Aging Musician – Gingerbread Man * Spamalot – The Song That Goes Like This – Original Broadway Cast * Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood – Greenwich Village Folk Song Salesman – Fairytales and Fantasies * Sparks – Metaphor – Hello Young Lovers The show is sponsored today by iPrint Technologies!
