the sniffly strange

last evening was i was overcome by a sudden and dreadful allergy which marred my presence on the airwaves. i was a sniffling, whinging mess. that, compounded by the unfortunate fact that we're down a cd player (leaving 2) and i didn't bring any records, made for a tough show. i was a twitchy wreck - hopped up on antihistamines and anxiety, all the while feeling very sorry for myself and my red, runny nose. not sure if it comes out in the playlist or not, but what these songs do have in common is that most of them are 4 minutes plus, allowing me a brief moment of rest, here and there.
