The show went very well. I'm feeling the most comfortable in the studio as I've ever felt. Too bad this was the second-to-last show. I'm finally getting good at DJing, but now my tenure is coming to an end. I have mixed feelings and I'll share more about that later, on what may be the final post on this blog. For now, I'll just make a few comments. During this show, I played quite a few artists that have released their music on their own, ain't that neato? Second, Talk Normal is really cool. They were pretty insane live last week, but I think they sound even better recorded. I've very glad I bought their EP. After listening to that Daedelus album today, I decided that I really don't like it, only a few tracks on it are really good.

I'm beginning to plan the final, best of 2008 show. WHO WILL MAKE THE PLAYLIST????? There have been quite a few great releases this year, but I already know my top favorites. And next week I'll share them all.
