The past two weeks the first hour of the show has been taken up by a favorite new feature I'm calling the Cubbyhole. Down in the WMBR library our walls are lined with wooden shelves and dividers containing our voluminous vinyl collection. I can't recall the exact number but there's somewhere around 600 of these 'cubbyholes' with rock records in total, each holding around 75-100 lps each. From major label hits to incredibly obscure self-releases, they're side-by-side in alphabetical order.

With this amazing amount of choices at my fingertips I often get frustrated by the lack of available time to explore our treasures. So I've decided to pick one section a week and exclusively use records from that section to program the show.

It's going to be an uneven experience, but hopefully a fruitful one as well. Those who enjoy hearing random long-buried 15+ year old obscurities mixed in with a few old favorites should find it to your liking. If you prefer our programming to be comprised of more recognizable and noteworthy artists, well this may not be for you.

Feel free to request certain letter combinations or make comments. I'm not making any promises but it's always nice to get feedback.
