The Rhetorical Situation, Nov. 19, 2009

Today, Jacob and I fought and defeated the Technology Monster, but we walked away with a few flesh wounds.

The damage done: we had to interrupt someone's pre-recorded interview/show at the start of our show; online streaming wasn't available for the first 10-15 minutes; one of the CD players wouldn't recognize Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros (and I called them the Magnificent Zeros); finally, for the second straight week, our last song of the show, at least on the mp3, is cut off and something otherworldly replaces it.

The victories: we opened with a fantastic new band, Delta Spirit, and considered whether or not there are mountains in San Diego; Girl in a Coma made a second appearance; Las Cruces's Retsila Gem hit Oregon airwaves for the first time; we discuss some great bands coming to Doug Fir in Portland next month; finally, we promise to bring the sweetest potatoes next week.

Tune in every Thursday at noon Pacific for The Rhetorical Situation at 88.7 FM in Corvallis, or kbvr.com on the web.
