Therapy

Before I go out to shovel what looks like a nuisance amount of snow (not a lot, but enough that it needs to be pushed around a bit), I’m going to examine what I am doing every week. Putting together a podcast is a labor of love and a hobby that I am happy to do (thank you everyone for your kind words about it), but mostly its therapy for me. The structure of selecting songs for a set, enough for an hour a week, writing it down and putting it together, talking into a microphone to organize what I’ve played, and then writing about it each Sunday is therapy for me. It keeps me busy and gives me what I feel is worthwhile time that I would otherwise be wasting cruising the internet (or something – reading, volunteering, etc.).

I have pledged that in 2017 I will try to do more positive things in this world, and doing a weekly podcast and writing on Sunday mornings is a positive, so I’ll keep doing it (as long as you keep listening). There are some work-related ideas that I’m working on as well that should prove to be very positive as well (housing advocacy, with some focus on tenant services in properties). Let’s make this a great year! (I also need to work on my typing skills, which are pretty non-existent. The amount of basic editing I do is amazing – it’s always teh for the, and many other basic keying errors that frustrates me to no end, not that I’ve done anything about it).

So, onto this week’s podcast, lovingly assembled that leads off with some heart, so lets listen to the 101ers, the Pains of Being Pure at Heart, the Gore Gore Girls, Buddy Holly, David Sylvian, the Ghosts of a Sabre Tooth Tiger, Arcade Fire, the Chameleons UK, exmagician, Martin Newell, Dreams So Real, Sarah Cracknell, the Style Council, and Blondie.
