good show!
it was one of those radio shows where i feel unprepared, but somehow it winds up being a good show anyhow. i think playlist and i are agreeing pretty well right now; basically, there's tons of non-boring world music, which is mostly what i like to play these days. and happily, it all recorded just fine and i'm listening to it via iPod right now!
not a single call or email, except for this one guy who kept bugging me to send him a message over the web cam. :)
i've been working on my voicebreaks, and i think i'm finally meeting with success. when i'm speaking, it feels artificially slow and deliberate, but i hardly said "um" at all, and everything i said seems to have been lucid and "legible".

In the half-hour I was listening, the voice breaks were all very lucid and legible. Compare with the voice breaks for the Top 10 show that followed, and I know what I'm talking about

"non-boring world music" is what we strive for :)
coming along in the next few weeks, with any luck: Balkan brass bands, Bollywood, Dub Syndicate, dancehall, more...

i heard your show while driving to chapel hill. i heard two on-airs. and, actually, at the time, i thought, "this is the most measured and well-balanced (volume-wise) on-air i've heard since karen cirillo left." then i thought, "holy shit, is this karen cirillo?" then i remembered that this was your shift and i thought, "of course," because all of your on-airs are good. then i thought, "you know, lisa has the most 'xdu' set of any xdu set ever. she totally compartmentalizes genres of music in a fluid and seamless way that allows each song to provide an insight on the song before and after it. i should tell her this tomorrow."
but i didn't get around to doing so for these reasons: 1) i saw this morning that you had already tooted your own horn, and 2) i had a hellish work day that involved emergency trips to roxboro, louisburg, and pittsboro and an extreme car breakdown anxiety that led to my quiet sobbing in the franklin county courthouse before discovering that i had left my lights on. so here's small recompense!

the point of the top ten show is not to have lovel lucid voice breaks. it's to have fun!

ok, so a) your comment won't post right away because i have to approve it first and b) you might get a server error but your comment probably posted anyway and c) previewing doesn't work so i've removed the preview button.
