That’s right, we’re back, baby!

And since the DFO Radio generator has been broken for so long, that means you’re going to get treated to DOUBLE SHOTS of playlists until we’re all caught up!

“So, Rikki,” you’re probably saying to yourself, “normally you fill this space with minor details about what’s going in your own life, presumably because people are interested and not because you’re trying to pad your word count.  What have you got going on for us this week?”  Well, faithful readers who don’t skip this section and get straight to the rockin’ out part, I spent a good chunk of my day making a laundry tree out of an old patio umbrella that finally gave up its ghost this last winter.  You see, I noticed that our power bill over the last two periods was higher than normal, and I can’t pin it all on my in-laws, so I figured we should line-dry more laundry.  I had made a set of clothelines I could hook up to a post in the garden, but they sagged way too much.  We have a couple of racks, one of which is fine, and the other that is basically a collection of plastic folding parts that eat finger skin and shit out blood blisters.  I had originally been thinking I might try to sew a new umbrella, but after the remaining fabric from the old one blew into my neighbor’s yard, I decided that…oh, you’re still here?  Right, right, the music.

Pick of the week for “Coffee is for Closers” goes to scotchnaut for the choice of The Waterboys’ “This is the Sea” which closes out the album of the same name.

Pick of the Week for “Tear and Repair” goes to ALXMAC for his choice of “Suture Up Your Future” by Queens of the Stone Age, with honorable mentions to ThurberHerder for “The Maker” and Porky Prime for his choice of “Pick Up the Pieces” by Average White Band.

I’ll see about putting together Spotify lists next week – I want to find a new generator cause the original one is inadequate.
