Hello Refusal, You’re Just the Same as Usual: Transmission 524, 2020 April 29

FAM. I am trying so hard to get back on the horse and process the last 39 months. I have to honor the muse when she appears..

I detect a weirdly naive positivity in this program’s energy despite what must have been happening in my life right around this time. Happy Mondays, Pia Fraus and The Room In The Wood seem like vestiges of an earlier sensibility. But who cares? So much of reception depends on frame of mind. I happened to be feeling good the morning I listened back to this, so…

Mrs. Miller seems like self-parody, though, emblematic of a show whose concept is exhausted. 

OTOH I don’t care how many times we play never say never, it will not be enough.

This program was mostly smooth and pleasant, intermittently interesting; not a bad way to spend a hundred and twenty minutes, I guess, but can I not ask for more from these mixtapes?
