10: Half of me is ocean // half of me is sky
Hey pals,
I hope your summer has been blessed with sunshine and that you have thrown yourselves into many, many bodies of water. I’ve been busy as the dickens, unpacking boxes, parenting aimless children with no preschool and little structure, and taking a family holiday on the Oregon coast. I live for summer in the Pacific Northwest–it makes the winter worth it (sometimes).
I’m back on Freeform Portland tonight, and DJ Muntz will be joining me. Muntz has been my partner in crime for the last few months, as he’s between jobs and always looking for an opportunity to command the airwaves and blast some P-funk. My show should be the mix that you’ve come to expect, including rock, indie, soul, jazz, Hip-Hop, R&B, and all the best stuff I can find for you.
⁂
I’ve been derelict in sharing links to radio shows and family pictures with you all. In this letter, I’ll catch you up on links to shows, with the promise that I’ll share pictures when I can devote a little more time to organization and computing.

COMMENTS:
I was thrilled to catch a tiny bit of World Cup action this year, especially to see the run that Croatia put together, so this show was inspired by the best vacation I’ve taken in my life. The idea was to play tunes I’d be cranking while boating on the Dalmatian Coast in the Adriatic. DJ Muntz made a surprise visit, and my air breaks are 10x more entertaining because of it.

COMMENTS:
I covered for IT’S A NICE WORLD TO VISIT, one of my favorite shows on Freeform hosted by DJ Noah Fence. He always plays the toughest and best post-punk, which I don’t focus on as much for my own show, so it was pretty fun to blast these tunes on a sunny day.

COMMENTS:
My 4th of July setlist. While I was walking to the station just before 10 pm, I was listening to DJs Produce & Nuggit and their show STRETCH YOUR FACE, and they played Aubrey’s “Fireworks,” and damn if that didn’t set a mood. Also v excited for the new Last Artful, Dodgr single that I kicked off the set with. She’s gonna be blowing our minds soon with her new songs. I also played a short set at the end with songs written or recorded by Richard Swift, a really excellent musician who died a few hours before the show aired.

COMMENTS:
We were in box hell when this show aired, having moved in to our new house but not unpacked. Also, we were getting ready to leave town a few days later, so I split this show between new music on a digital format and my 7” singles, which were my only accessible records.
