Oh No!!!

Katie, unfortunately, speaks the truth. TDR Jams is not a happening event this week because of the unworkingness of WVAU. The sound board does have pretty lights on it, but I figured there would be a problem when I came in and the automator wasn't on. You see, the automator is the device that is supposed to play music when there is no DJ in the studio. I suppose that it makes no difference whether or not the automator is working if people cannot log on to the show.

Regardless, that was the point when I realized something might be wrong. Something that was confirmed when I tried to play CDs and talk into the mic. Both of these actions were fails. Fortunately plugging my computer in has made music happen in the studio, although it appears that it is not being broadcast. This has given me some liberty to play stuff I could not get away with on TDR Jams, like Coney Island Shuffle by Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire, a song from a Eastern European folk band I met in London, and Mogwai's twenty minute long "My Father, My King".

So Katie and I have been hanging out in the studio, playing music you cannot hear. We did take a break to go to TDR, but don't worry, we did have music playing at that point (the aforementioned 20 minute song). I think that I will post the playlist for this "Lost Show" at some point.

The truly unfortunate thing is that we didn't get to do our special features. Next week we will, we promise. Katie will play a R&B block and I will play an indie one. We will give you comments from TDR and the highlights of the weeks menu. For this week, as a little apology, and a service I am going to post TWO comments from the Dalai Lama:

(1)

“Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.”

(2)

“There’s no shop that sells kindness; you must build it within. You can transplant hearts, but you cannot transplant a warm heart.”

Again we are sorry, and we will be back next week, as long as the studio is working then. Have a great week and enjoy your TDR!
