"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot."

Did some illiterate actually send you that note at the top of your playlist?

And is it true there are people in the world who only like what they've heard before?

If you can only like what you have heard before, either: (a) you can never like anything; or (b) you will eventually like everything. Likely not as much difference between the two as you might think.

I don't care what the illiterate says, I appreciate the diversity of the tunes. It's a giant rainbow of music, all in a row. Great show.
