Didn’t have time to prepare an actual show this week, so rather than skip it I decided to live up to the show’s name and literally put (the highlights of) my library on shuffle, testing my knowledge of my own library on the fly. The results are definitely a little scuffed. But maybe charmingly so? I stand by enough of the tracks that showed up, anyway. Less so my chatter. Will hopefully be better with a slightly more curated library next time. I’d say more than half of these are tracks that I would put on an actual show.

Next tracks would’ve been Nine Inch Nails’ “Sanctified” and X’s “The World’s a Mess, It’s in My Kiss”. Those would’ve been good ones to play. Ah well.
