Star Time #205: Future Shock
Holy primal scream, did we have a breakthrough this week. Having felt a bit stagnant with the Star Time template -- i.e., every playlist arranged in general chronological order -- I finally said, "Blast it. Just randomize this playlist, Google Docs." It did. The result is an episode I flat-out love, because it reminds me of those long hours spent listening to R&B oldies station and Star Time influence KACE in Los Angeles. This might be a thing for a while.
