soft as snow (but warm inside)

Hi guys!

Today's show explored the theme of decomposition... in reference to processes of weathering (ie. snow/rain/ice/melting) and in the broader sense of the word. (what does this mean? listen to find out!) Nostalgia (though this is inherently a weekly theme by virtue of the content of my show) was also very crucial this week, and I played bands that I have personal nostalgic value for (ie. The Gerbils, Electrelane) and songs that had nostalgia for subject matter or was sonically represented (ie. "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye", "Cowboy", "All Day Long").

You can catch my show from 2-4 PM live or stream the previous week's show anytime at the rainydawg radio website!

(Bear with the stream for the first few minutes...)
