hm, most of the time, i guess i think of the radio show as a
way to practice for when i do play out at events, so it's mostly
option 1. occasionally i just want to play some random cool/weird
thing i just got, but i usually try to make it work with the other
music i'm playing.

hm, it sounds like you meant the latter, not the former--to play
each tune individually without trying to mix them..correct?
i guess since the radio does that enough already, i don't really
care about doing it on our show. however, one thing that i'd like
to get working is a little widget to send the id3 tag of the
cd track i'm playing into the stream so that people listening can
see what i'm playing.
one thing i do agree with you on is that it's about the music, not
the dj. i got into spinning because i love the music, not because
i wanted attention. some of the music coming out lately, and some
of the older stuff i'm finding is just amazing...hurray for music!
lately, i've been obsessing over:
sense: a view from a vulnerable place (track 7,8, gorgeously sad)
kettel: dreim (the whole thing, whee, idm steel drums)
chris clarke: clarence park (track 9 oh my god insufferably happy!)
