Why do I keep hoarding and collecting these insane slabs of plastic? Mostly, so I can do shows like this. As we say goodbye to a year and decade, I thought I would welcome all things new with many things old. This episode of entitled "Vinyl Solution," and aside from commercials and voice-overs, everything you hear this hour comes from cheap, plastic records. How else do you start a new decade, I ask you?

There isn't a particular theme or concept behind today's show, aside from a similarity in form (and an increase in DJing foul ups). I basically thumbed through the stacks in my room, and brought with me everything that sounded good to me at that moment. Probably not the sanest way to prepare for a show, but very, very satisfying. (I had forgotten what it was like to sing along with records while mixing.) In a lot of ways this show sounds very much like something I would have done when I first started in radio, back in 1998, so much so that it prominently features a Violent Femmes song near the end of the set. But there should be something in this set for everyone, included a Stanley Kubrick opener and closer. (Hey, there's a theme!)

While I'm excited to return to DJing after a few weeks off, a word of warning: Blasphuphmus Radio will most likely go into re-runs again for the rest of January. (And possibly a few or two in February.) The main reason is logistical; I am moving, starting a second job, and will have very little time to prepare shows in the immediate future. This won't mean that you will be shafted as a listener; I have one or two live bands coming in during these months, and there are hundreds of past episodes from the last 11 years that you mostly likely haven't heard (or, only heard once, several years ago.) So, this will be a chance to pick out some radio gems from the past, and re-package them for you in the present. How futuristic, non?

After that, we'll return to our regularly scheduled format, complete with Old Time Radio, self-referential themes, and plenty of DJ gaffs, and more quickly than you can say, " '90's Theme Party."

See ya in seven.
