As you guys know, I’m a DJ over at WRBB. I have a show, Trail Mix, every Thursday from 1-2pm. The whole premise of the show is that my taste in music is super all over the place so each week’s episode has a theme to explore a different facet of my music collection. But it turns out that it’s super hard to think of a new, fun, innovative theme every week. This is my second semester with the show which means I’ve already done at least 10 episodes. How am I supposed to keep thinking of new themes??? I might have screwed myself over by pledging to stick to this formula but at this point it’s much too late to go back. I had an idea for an episode themed “basement show”, so all the songs would be kinda underground, indie stuff that one might hear in a dingy basement somewhere in Allston probably. I’ve been workshopping the playlist for a couple weeks now but it just doesn’t seem to flow right. If I can’t fix it by Wednesday, I’m just going to have to do another playlist but I don’t have any other ideas!!! I have this playlist that I made a while back based on the idea of having a campfire on the beach at sunset at the end of the summer (weirdly specific, I know) so I might try to adapt that for this week’s episode since the weather seems to be warming up. If anyone has absolutely any ideas, please send them my way.

Sincerely,

DJ Dri-Fit
