Free Things Are Cool Playlist for 1/18/06

So, there's this room in the basement of the College Activities Building on the campus of the Evergeen State College that is refered to by KAOSians as "The Crypt." The Crypt is actually just a cage in a larger room that KAOS has to store unused items. Mostly these are records and CDs that haven't been played in a long time and that are either too good or too bad to sell, or that we haven't gotten around to selling yet. Because of the massive influx of music that is really neverending, there must, from time to time, be "cryptings" of CDs from the main collection in the station itself. Sometimes, these cryptings are very contriversial. Today when I arrived at the station, I found 2 brimming mail buckets of what I considered to be horribly important electronic music CDs that were set aside for the downward journey. Immediate action was taken. The following playlist was pulled entirely from those buckets with the exception of the new DELTA 5 singles comp on KRS. I didn't Tech no for an answer. I cold rocked the party. Thanks to everyone that called. It was a lot of fun.

I love this picture. It's fabulous. Another day. Another short blog entry. Tomorrow there will be an entire playlist from my show. At least. Maybe more. Who knows? I do have thoughts. Only little time. Mindy is trying to sleep as she was when last I blogged.

Goodnight.

Gillian on Christmas morning 2005

You know,

Posting something is almost always better than posting nothing.
Hmmm... Except right now when Mindy's trying to sleep and I'm tap, tap, tapping away on the keyboard in the same room.
I guess that's it for tonight.

Except...
What about a picture?
Yes. That's nice. Lovely.

So, this was my "best of 2005" show. Best is such a funny term. There's no way that I could say that anything is the best when I haven't even listened to a percent of a percent of percent of the music that people made in a given year. All I know, is that these song represent some of my favorites of the past year. There were several that I really loved that just didn't make it in 'cause of time constraints, Edith Frost, most noteably. Anyway. It's late. I need to post this and go home to my cozy bed.

Rock on my compadres.
