A little darker and gothier, until it gets a little bouncier towards the end, with totally otherwise unconnected nods to St. Paddy’s Day at the open and close.

Difficult Listening Hour 2021.01.09
Unrehearsed, seat-of-the-pants, let’s-see-what-happens mixing. This week ended up being (nearly) all ’80s alternative. Some of my favorite classics in here, and some transitions that I’m quite happily surprised by. Enjoy!
Difficult Listening Hour 2020.11.21
Week thirty-four of my unplanned, unrehearsed, seat-of-the-pants goofing around. As a way of getting back into practice and doing something regularly, I’ve started doing regular Twitch broadcasts, now on Saturday afternoons. These are the results. Anything goes.
Difficult Listening Hour 2020.10.31: Halloween Afternün Spüki Tünes
Two hours of “spüki tünes with DJ Wüdi on Halloween afternün”. Goth Christmas silliness! Some classics, some newer, some oddities, some just felt like they fit.

Week thirteen of my unplanned, unrehearsed, seat-of-the-pants goofing around. As a way of getting back into practice and doing something regularly, I’ve started doing regular Twitch broadcasts, now on Saturday mid-mornings. These are the results. Anything goes.
Songs, A-Z
Well, I didn’t read the rules of this game after I saw D’s list, so this list might seem a little odd. Rather than just list songs that start with a letter, I chose songs that I have in my .mp3 library, and where both the song title and the artist started with the respective letter of the alphabet. Uff!
The only times I couldn’t get a match for both were for X and Z, so I listed two songs, one for the song title that matched the letter, and one for the artist.

Oingo Boingo
Y’know, I wish I had an excuse for not discovering Oingo Boingo years ago…but I don’t.
However, somewhere along the line I ended up with the Best O’ Boingo CD. I don’t know that I’d ever even listened to it before, but ever since I got my iPod whenever an Oingo Boingo track shows up in the random playlist I use, I end up thinking it’s really cool, checking to see who it is, and kicking myself for never having gotten into this group before. I really should have — I’ve liked their song ‘Dead Man’s Party’ for years, and have thought for a while now that Danny Elfman creates some of the best movie scores I’ve heard, but I still didn’t ever bother investigating them.
Ah, well. Better late than never!
