The mic fell apart & I had to fix it in-between songs. The cds took a long-ass time to load & so - at one moment - there was dead air for about five seconds. And I managed to play a song with the word ‘fuck’ in it in the first hour.
TOTAL SUCCESS STORY! And I am not being sarcastic. This show was so much fun.
Playlist under the cut:
I’ve been doing so many pre-recorded shows for ARC Overnight that a live-show almost seems alien to me now.
Alien but awesome.

you must do
is pretend that nothing
can frighten you
an’ if somethin’ scares you
and you want to run
jus’ let on like
it’s Hallowe’en fun.
