Pledge Now!

Tonight was my glorious pledge drive shift! I used to really look forward to pledge drives, since it was a chance to meet other DJ's and see how they did their shows. I've always volunteered on other evening rock shows, for solidarity if nothing else. My first pledge shift of this drive was on Thursday night from 10pm to 1am. It was the last night for "I'm Not Here To Make Friends". When I signed up for the shift, I didn't know that Patrick and Melissa were planning on moving to Seattle, and this would be their last show. It was sad that there weren't a lot of calls, but then there are usually fewer calls during pledge drive shows. I think people are intimidated. I also stayed for "Catch A Wave", a new show hosted by Austin. He sat in on my show a couple months ago, and I had him DJ for half an hour. He plays all vinyl, and lots of sixties stuff. He's also agreed to cover my show for 2 weeks while I'm on vacation. My next show is tomorrow at 10am during "Cover The Earth", I believe. I'm not very well versed in world music, so it should be interesting, especially since I'll be running on very little sleep. I was toying with the idea of biking out to Evergreen, and then to work afterwords, but it might be a bit much on six hours sleep. We'll see what the morning brings. Music-wise, the show was kind of fragmented. Having pledge breaks and other people around throws me off. I tend to get self-consious. It also means little to no air guitar. I was a bit disappointed that there wasn't a new Fancey album. I'm setting up a phone interview with Todd Fancey (Fancey, New Pornographers, Tennessee Twin), and the Music Director said there was a new album. As it turns out, it's just a reissue of his first album. According to his myspace page, he has an album out called the Magical Summer EP, but nothing too recent. I hope the interview goes better than the Of Montreal interview. I'll have to be more prepared.
