Hi Christopher,
Hope you are having a great week! I'm excited to share that we have completed the first round of interviews and would like to continue moving forward. The Hiring Manager is finalizing the technical writing exercise and I will follow up with directions on how to complete within the next 24 hours!
Thank you,

Sr. Talent Business Partner"
..... "technical writing exercise?" Ooee. Maybe they DO think they're a startup. All right, let's play. |

 | And if somehow you missed the entire thing, catch it via the KFAI Community Radio APP (search "Dollar Bin") OR visit https://www.kfai.org/program/dollar-bin/. Thanks for enduring this twitstorm and I'll be back next Tuesday with a new show and no more than one tweet |

| This was definitely my longest show, but if I'd not played the Thelma Houston it might have been perfect - but we HAD to hear it |
| 6.8.19 13:14 |
| Mason once asked me to try to keep it around 57 minutes so he could plug schedule gaps with it as needed - I believe I have kept it near that mark exactly three times. |
| 6.8.19 13:12 |
| I think we made it! Sorry, , I'm pretty sure this is a one time thing. But this is my last chance to get you to https://kfai.org/donate/donations and thank you for all your support of me, and KFAI!! |

| Well, NOW she's saying she's gonna leave this man - which seems in complete conflict with the title of this song. Maybe they DO need to get outta here |
| 6.8.19 13:08 |
| This is some of that "everything and the kitchen sink" technique Jam and Lewis managed to cut back on in later years - oh, God, though....the "ladies" - yeah, call 'em out, Thelma |
| 6.8.19 13:04 |
| Thelma Houston didn't release an album for six years after this one. Jam and Lewis, meanwhile, hooked up with Janet Jackson and some may remember the results |
| 6.8.19 13:03 |
| We're already over but I wanted to include a Flyte Time production - I'm fascinated by how their process evolved during the S.O.S. Band/Cherelle years. Mason introduced me to Change. This one was kinda "lost" and maybe for good reason |

| Mostly I played that one for my two most regular listeners, and , who are also fabulous supporters of KFAI - as you should be! https://kfai.org/donate/donations |

| I found this 12" for 25¢ at Fly Vintage & Vinyl (shoutout to and ) where I believe it came from a DJ pool collection - best quarter I've ever spent on an acquisition? Perhaps! |
| 6.8.19 12:57 |
| Somehow due to label and/or licensing issues, the "Body Talk" soundtrack does NOT contain this OR the other Lorenzo Lamas....performance. Scotti Bros. put out this single to remedy that. It did not chart. |

| Originally I was thinking I'd host a KFAI Vinyl Voices night where I'd sell any record I'd played for two bucks and use all the proceeds to buy MORE records. Somehow my house is full despite that plan coming to fruition |
| 6.8.19 12:50 |
| I buy records at a lot of places but the inspiration for the show came while I was at The Landfill in St. Paul, where all the Cheapo overstock goes to die and they have a zillion 12" singles (and also several zillion LPs) AND everything's 6/$5. |
| 6.8.19 12:48 |
| Ah, Adiche - as I often say (because it's all I got) look him up and all you get is this 12" single. I bought it because it was on Newcleus' label and also shared some publishing credits so I figured you could probably breakdance to it. I was right! |

| The bass has been slapped by Bo Freeman. |
| 6.8.19 12:46 |
| The LP reveals some interesting credits for this song:
Lead Guitar – Phil Ketnar
Rhythm Guitar – Levi Seacer Jr.
Timbales – Harold "Butch" Haynes
Bill Summers might be best known for "Jam the Box" - this was a couple years after that. |
| 6.8.19 12:42 |
| Speaking of vocoder and slap bass...this was another 12" single I knew nothing about but liked the title and track length and just went for it. Now I have Bill Summers out the yin yang on this hard drive |

| This was one of two tracks that WASN'T a greatest hit, but they were both released as singles and became self-fulfilling prophecies - Fogelberg could do no wrong! (This is also the shortest track on this episode, I think) |
| 6.8.19 12:38 |
| I'll always be grateful to for letting me watch him do and figure out what I wanted to do, and I'll always have a pile of records that are a little more smooth. Fogelberg's greatest hits (50¢) is definitely one I return to |

| I have multiple copies of this one - it's usually in the crate when I'm playing live with KFAI Vinyl Voices or DJ'ing with other folks. It was the fourth and final single off Dead or Alive's monster LP "Youthquake." |

| This song features a dizzying array of "gear changes" for the chorus - but I think that's one of the really great things about it. Another wonderful extension - I learned to look for François' name after his remixes in the late 1980s |
| 6.8.19 12:17 |
| "Kiss Me (Vocal)" was from show , preceded by a Caroline Munro/Gary Numan track and followed by a Dana Dane track. It just kinda ended up that way, as most shows do |
| 6.8.19 12:16 |
| I started counting tracks pretty late in the game - around show . Hopefully I was accurate by the time I got to the 200th track, which is the one you're hearing right now (as I said, now also the 271st track) |

| The regular "LP Version" of this track has a rockin' guitar solo that must not have felt very "disco" as it doesn't show up here - I did play it on 's show once |
| 6.8.19 12:11 |
| I didn't know until I looked her up on Discogs but Taka Boom is Chaka Khan's sister - it DOES explain some of her vocal stylings |
| 6.8.19 12:09 |
| More slap bass! |
| 6.8.19 12:09 |
| This is Taka Boom! I bought this 12" solely based on the track length and the words "Disco Version" - that technique is usually worth risking the dollar. |
