Wow, great set list, Delvin! Someone actually called up to request the "Amazing Journey/Sparks" medley from Live at Leeds? What a strange request.
p.s. How would you rate your two DJ'ing gigs (world music vs pop gig).
p.p.s. Can we actually listen live and call up requests? How do we do this again?

Thanks, Nose! The listener called during the Ultravox song; he did request "Amazing Journey/Sparks" but didn't specify the live version. The coincidence, though, was even stranger: I just happened to have Live at Leeds in my hand when the phone rang.

Well, the pop/rock is my true musical love, but Planet Groove is a fun gig. I find a lot of cool music that I might've overlooked (especially on compilations). And most of the callers have said they like the direction I've taken the show — more traditional world music, less techno.

Yeah, you can, but as things stand now, last night's double-header might've been my last shows for KRCC. I'm currently awaiting the paperwork for me to start an assignment up in Seattle. If I can walk the walk on that job, I'll probably get a permanent offer, and relocate up there.
On the other hand, once it's sure that I'll be moving, I'll drop by the public radio stations in the area and ask if they need a new DJ. So watch this space for future developments! Thanks.
