Making radio adjustments @ 0229 and deciding what music to play.
0330 - "At&T" Pavement, S6
0339 - "Aunt's Invasion"
0341 - "Blue Hawaiian" Pavement
0350 - talking about compression methodology.  Keep it as you have it with light/moderate compression.  Allows the average audio to stay above the noise without allowing clipping (and still allowing some dynamics in the music).
0357 - Shoutout [thanks!].  Compression seems a bit heavy for me now, but that's how most of the other pirate stations run it.  Sounds good though, and thanks for the tunes.
Thanks for the great show!
