Well, I guess I'm lucky in that my listeners rarely call in (maybe I don't
have any listeners??), so I don't get complaints like this too often.

But I'm well aware that my tastes are MUCH more liberal than a lot of
other folks, and my show reflects that. I enjoy the fact that I can start
my show with Cassius, end it with Zoviet France, and play everything from
Source Direct to Sly & Robbie to stuff on Underscore to Pole to whatever
during the two hours in between. And even if someone out there doesn't
like *everything* I play, hopefully they'll like enough of it to stay
tuned... and maybe the way I link stuff up will help them appriciate
something they didn't before.

Or maybe I should just realize that all I'm doing is playing fucking
records and CDs which is something a well-trained monkey couuld probably
do. :)
