Darkling Eclectica Playlists

First show of Summer:

And we started right in with the Robert Benchley: selections from his collection My Ten Years in a Quandary and How They Grew. And there's more where that came from!

The last day:

Of KUCI's Spring Season of Programming, and I got to fill in for Jillian's Cabin Fever show since she was busy across campus graduating. I then also did my semi-traditional reading of Franz Kafka's great talking animal story "Josephine the Singer, or The Mouse Folk" and generally tried not to spill anything.

Next week, we'll be back with Summer and the first installment of selections from Robert Benchley's My Ten Years in a Quandary and How They Grew.

This week:

We had our semi-occasional visit from the nice folks at BMI, the music licensing outfit. So I got to fill out a paper playlist for the first time in quite a few years, listing the songs, their artists, and their composers. Maybe someone on the following list'll even get some money at some point!
