Boots-n-Cats 007: Tabula Rasa

For the first week since I've been putting together the podcast, I didn't look forward to the sight of a blank spreadsheet.  I was happy enough with 006 that I was convinced I couldn't do better and didn't really want to try.  I mean I did continue on (obviously), except not with the enthusiasm of "maybe this week I can do better" but instead the certainty that I could not.

An interesting thing came out of that feeling, though.  The palette of songs I arrived at had more range than normal.  Several songs were very dark, seething monsters ("Dance On My Heart", "Morphine", and "Chased") juxtaposed with more melodic, deep songs like "Metaphysical", "Thought of You", and "All My Love".  I was skeptical that they could all be blended together, but I had the attitude of "welp, it's not as going to turn out as well as last week anyway, so might as well take some risks; what is there to lose?"  Although it took some wrangling, I personally think the risks paid off.

I wonder what I can do next week....
