A new set begins: The Bat Bite ... A Short Story by Clay Pigeon
A new set begins: I was tempted not to post this show as I was disappointed with the way the production of the story turned out. As usual, I left myself no time as the show deadline approached. As an experiment, I grabbed a stack of instrumental LP's and kept rotating them behind the story at random. It seemed like a cool idea, but in the end it would have been much better had I picked music to fit each particular scene. Then again, it's not Dostoevsky so, who cares! I hope you enjoy it. I can think of certain things that inspired it. The way I was warned about the horror of rabies shots as a kid, for one. Living in Wisconsin in an old house that had an attic full of bats. My wife's sister getting scratched by a bat as a kid and having to get rabies shots.

Comment: It's amazing how fast you can exhaust a large record collection when you play them all the time on WFMU. Last week I found myself with 'collection burnout.' Basically, I felt I had already played almost all of my 'good' records on the show over the course of a few seasons. So ... I scraped the bottom of the barrel and tried to find some stuff I'd never aired. To be honest, after hearing this program I think I HAVE played some of these tracks before. Not often though, if ever. I hope you like them. One thing I dig about FMU is the way it breathes new life into tired old music. Re-framing and re-contextualizing them.

Comment: So that's it ... quite honestly one of the worst shows ever. Apologies. As much as I hate dropping the proverbial ball, it happens. That's the brutal reality of WFMU's archives. Suck or Impress, you're getting posted for eternity, warts and all. Anyway ... thank you for listening. I do appreciate it. If you'd like to write --- dusty@wfmu.org I read them ALL and really like hearing from you. I do intend to get back on the streets for interviewing soon. Just needed to give it a rest for a week or two. Until next time, take care and ... always remember. Clay P
