Same Show, New Name - "The Madame Psychosis Hour" 9/15/08

I decided to change the name of my show last week -- the old name, "The Eclectic Mayhem," was a Muppets joke that nobody got, plus it also bore a striking similarity to the name of another new show on the station; not that there's anything wrong with that show of course, but it's kind of like when you show up to a party wearing the exact same clothes somebody else -- ONE of you has to change it, and I wasn't all that attached to mine.

So for some reason I decided to go for a new name that was even more dorky and obscure than the old one. I had just settled on "The Madame Psychosis Hour" (Madame Psychosis is the radio show host in Infinite Jest) and then 24 hours later learned that that book's author had just died. So, that was a pretty strange coincidence, and more than a little eerie.

Anyway, enough of my rambling. Here's what I played on the air last night:
