the question to the answer of life, the universe, and everything is "in the aeroplane over the sea"...
Eek! I forgot to mention on the air today that the big WCSB/WRUW kickball game is this Sunday. It's 1 p.m. at Clark Field in Tremont. Check the WCSB forum for more details as they come available. (And no, I don't know if anyone will be wearing a slug suit and acting as our mascot. WCSB industrial music personality Feima has offered to do so, but I don't know if she really is going to do that.)
Anyway, about the show today... I really like Neutral Milk Hotel. Yeah. And sometimes I really do think that Neutral Milk Hotel is the greatest thing ever and that anything that I do in life is unnecessary because it just won't be as good as their masterpiece album, In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. Can anything get better than that?
(Maybe the Afternoon Naps can. ^_^)
So, yeah, I ended up doing an embarrassingly obsessive rant about how Neutral Milk Hotel is the greatest achievement of all humanity.
And that's the only real highlight I can remember.
I really should get Leia to come back and co-host again.
So... here's the show:

day of silence
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!
If you listen to Boogiepop live on the Internet every Tuesday morning (on the livestream at WCSB.org, please note that you will not hear my show (or any other normal WCSB programming) on the livestream tomorrow (June 26th). This is due to WCSB's participation in a "Day of Silence" for Internet broadcasters in order to protest an impending increase in royalty rates for Internet broadcasting. This increase will force many Internet broadcasters (and maybe WCSB) to shut down.
For more information about the "Day of Silence" and the Internet royalty bullshit, go to the news section of WCSB's website and click on the links there. (On an unrelated note, if you scroll down on that page, you can see a couple pics of the Afternoon Naps from when they were playing live on Boogiepop Does Not Smile back in March.)
Please note that I will still be uploading my show after the fact, so if you can't catch the show live via the terrestrial broadcast, you will be able to download it from here later.
I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause my Internet-only listeners, and I ask that you please be patient and wait to download this week's show when I make it available.
Thanks for your understanding...

pancakes! yum, yum!
Every once in a while, I'll try to go on YouTube to look for stuff. So, today, I tried typing in "the pancakes" (The Pancakes are my favorite pop band from Hong Kong... and all of China, really) and Pancakes-related stuff came up! Yay!
Remember that one Pancakes song, "Etienne", which I played every so often. I found a live performance of it. The lyrics are all sung in Chinese, though, and Dejay doesn't seem to sing the name "Etienne" at any point. But I know the tune, so I'm sure it's that song.
And here's a live video of "Rock Guitar". It's not the whole song, but it's 2 minutes long, and it's in English. Yay!
And here's a girl from America doing a cover of the Pancakes' song "Martin". Cute!
There's a little bit more on YouTube, but that's all that I feel like posting.
(If you're looking to download the latest episode of Boogiepop, scroll down to the end of the next post.)

children run away from the man with the calvin
Hm... I think the show is better with Leia there. She kept me more focused and the show seemed more fun.
Although, part of the reason why today's show seemed weird and crazy to me was that I had a bad case of insomnia last night and got maybe 30 minutes of sleep. Eek! :(
Lack of sleep makes the world (I mean, the world as I perceive it) turn surreal, as well as daunting, so if the show was really weird and fucked up to you, that's why.
Oh, and the 2-week reporting period for SoundExchange just began, so I had to do 2 separate playlists during the show (the one in this blog and the one for SoundExchange). That complicates things somewhat.
But you know what was good about the show? I went through with the set of all Calvin Johnson, even though I had no idea if the guy who originally requested it two weeks ago was listening or not. And it was awesome! Loads of dreamy, sexy, deep-voiced Calvin goodness. That was great!
And I also liked how I did the first set of the show, with the Harry Potter songs the seamlessly segued with the ice cream songs after it.
But the parts where I talked on the air weren't so good. And no one took my hint during the second hour and called to ask me out on a date. No one, male or female. So, I guess maybe single twee boys also exist only in fairy tales or in Athens, Georgia. ^_^ (Just kidding of course.)
And no, I'm kidding about expecting listeners to call in to ask me out on a date. But that would have been funny if someone did. And then they'd be all disappointed because I'd have to tell them that they're going to have to pay for the date because I spent all my disposable income on music to play on the show. ^_^
So, next week, I have Helper T-Cells tickets to give away. They're playing on the 28th (that's a Thursday night) at the Beachland. You should call in and get the tickets. You'd really love them if you went. They're a better live band than they are on record because they do lots of fun skits and stuff at their shows. And one time, they did a perfect rendition of the theme from Ren and Stimpy. Awesome!
And then July is going to be big because Mirah, They Might Be Giants, and Harry and the Potters (along with Draco and the Malfoys and the Whomping Willows) will be playing in Cleveland. Actually, those shows are all happening within a week from each other. And I already have reserved a pair of tickets to give away for the Mirah show. Yay! And I'm trying to get TMBG, too. (And I think the HatP show is free.)
And in the space of that same week, the Toledo Indiepop Fest is happening, too!
Oh, and in August, there's going to be an awesome show at the Beachland with Au Revoir Simone and Oh No! Oh My!. I forgot to mention that on the air today.
Anyway, here's the show:

a+!
Leia is teh awesomeness!
And yes, Ben, she is teh cuteness, as well. Like when we were talking on the air in the middle of the second hour. That part was so cute! "A+!"
You have to download the second hour and listen to it if you don't know what "A+!" is in reference to. That was one of the greatest radio moments ever.
And I hope you weren't annoying by Leia's children's records. I just couldn't resist.
I don't know how often I'll keep having her on because it would be awkward to play the Afternoon Naps while she's co-hosting the show. I don't want it to seem like she's there to promote her own band, which she has definitely not been doing these last couple of weeks. She's been here to force me to do my show because it's the only thing that brings her overwhelming joy in her otherwise mundane life (well... the only thing besides her successful music career and tons of friends that she has).
In other news, I'm still deciding on whether or not I'm going to that anime convention in Independence to see Entertainment System at ColossalCon in Independence this Friday. ColossalCon is this anime/video game convention with lots of hardcore otakus, and I'm just not cool enough to hang around with them. Plus, it costs $25 just to go on Friday, and I don't know if I want to pay $25 just to see Entertainment System. But they are pretty awesome...
I should also mention that I managed to play Ed in the Refridgerators without mentioning that one of the members of that band is Joe DeGeorge from Harry and the Potters...

i'm going on a bear hunt...
So... for right now, at least, I'm not quitting.
But I'm clearly not feeling this whole thing as much as I used to.
If Leia hadn't forced me to come up and do the show (as well as help me do the show), this probably would have just been my last show ever. Seriously. This whole thing isn't a weird publicity stunt, and it's not an artistic plotline, or whatever. Boogiepop is supposed to be just me playing records and talking straightforwardly. And it is. So, if I say that I'm unhappy or thinking about quitting the show, I mean it.
But yeah, thanks to Leia for getting up early just to come up and play records with me.
Oh, and since this show doesn't have its own wiki, I'll just have to clarify a couple parts of today's episode here...
For those who haven't been avid WCSB listeners for the past decade or so, "Chris and Thea" were hosts of a talk show called "Assholier Than Thou" (yes, they actually got away with giving their show that title). They talked a lot about their lives, pop culture, and the unique sort of issues that thirtysomethings face. It sounded weird and not instantly accessible to people at first, but its greatness became apparent to people upon repeated listenings.
Anyway, talking to Leia on the air reminded me of that show.
Second, I played that Star Wars thing at the end of the show just because Leia happened to find it in the big spindle of CDs that she brought up to the show. She didn't realize she had it in that spindle, and when she did, she was like, "You have to play this!" because she hadn't heard it in a while. And since this is WCSB, and we often like to be weird and random on WCSB, I did play it. And on that track, a 17-year-old version of Leia was playing the piccolo. Which is an instrument that apparently sounds like a guinea pig.
So... tune in next week, to see if I get my groove back, or something. To see if my youthful enthusiasm returns. Or I at least get just enough resolve to go through the motions again without any help.
Here's today's show:

but can you fake it for just one more show...
Yes, I will do one more show.
Just to clarify things... This isn't about one bad show. This is about one bad show on top of a bunch of misgivings that were already there--and have been there since I came back on the air last summer. I just haven't been quite sure and comfortable with the idea of continuing to do a show.
I had a nice run. But I got my Master's last year, and I'm not going back to school. Maybe it's time for me to give it up for the next generation. I decided a long time ago that I wouldn't be a "lifer". (Not that I have anything against anyone who might actually be a "lifer", I just don't think it's right for me.)
Anyway, that's all that I have to say for now. I'm sure I will have more to say later.
