I Paint What I See

For those of you who don’t know, I do a monthly “folk” radio show on WERU FM up here (sorry, no streaming yet, working on that). I’m at the station as I write this, ripping mp3’s off new stuff and cool stuff from the library while a mix of songs I’ve ripped from here and my library in the past (now at 11000 whoo hoo) is playing in the studio (now playing ‘Dar Williams – Christians & the Pagans‘.

It’s a strange thing being a DJ. Last night I was listening to a musician I like, Jamie Anderson live on KXCI in Tucson, AZ (they are streaming, I’m jealous) she mentioned that being a DJ is a very selfish thing, very attention seeking. Deja vu to my earlier post about web pages and journals being ‘look at me’ type things.

But again, is that what being a DJ is all about? I hardly like to talk on the air, so I’d like to think it’s not about me, it’s about the music. But then again, it’s me picking the music, it’s me foisting my opinion of what’s good music on the unsuspecting public listeners. What’s my reason for doing this?

Hmmm…

Just saw mention in Uni (aka Xydexx)’s livejournal that he reads my blog, and he found the link to Drumsong’s livejournal via my site!

Not really sure how Uni found my journal, I don’t think I made any mention of it to him. I did tell Countryham, I wonder if he passed it on, or did Uni just randomly happen across my journal? Kismet, who knows.

But see… now I have this problem, before I was just writing stuff for my own amusement or random strangers who might actually click on the ‘ideas and thoughts’ link off my main page (and would actually read it). But now.. Uni & Drumsong? Probably two of the most creative, albeit weird, friends I have are reading my journal. Add Hope and I’ve got alot of writing to do to be even a fraction as interesting as their journals.

Where to start…
