April 5, 2007: Emergency fill-in for Trouble

Listen to this show: RealAudio | Add or read comments

I got thrown into the DJ seat the moment I arrived (9 AM) at WFMU this morning, completely unprepared to do a radio show. No records picked out, no coffee in my system yet, no ideas for a good opening track. I scraped a few things together out of the new bin, grabbed a few compilation CDs, and entered the studio, where JM in the AM's Nachum Segal was impatiently board-sitting and waiting for me to relieve him of broadcast duties. Since Freeform programming always begins at 9 AM, Nachum knew to randomly select some non-JM in the AM music from the record library until someone arrived to take over for him.

This is the CD he was playing when I walked in:

Hanging out with Nachum while listening to NOFX at 9 AM = comedy gold.
