“As I type this in the room at my home in which I keep my media library, at my feet are two bags lying rather indelicately on the floor. One, a knapsack, is filled with, let’s say, 60 CDs, the top third or so of which I just played on my most recent show. Lying next to it, also inviting itself to be stepped on, is a messenger bag with approximately 40 LPs; the ones in the front of the bag are the ones I’ve already spun. (I also store a few 45s in a front pocket of that CD-holding rucksack.)”

“In any given show, anywhere from 95% to 100% of the music I feature comes from my personal collection. That familiarity allows me, like a minority of WFMU DJs, not to bother planning a show at all. I know there’s one in my two magic satchels.”
