A full moon on the Vernal Equinox for my last show at our studios in Lambeth Commons on the Grounds of the University of Virginia.  The station moved just a few days later to a new location a few miles away.  We broke a Guinness World Record to christen the station with 82 DJ's presenting a show.  Very exciting!

I often try to divide the music I play on the show between the two hours, playing more rock- and pop-friendly songs in the first hour, and the more difficult or experimental songs in the second hour.  Now, I've started calling that second hour by another name: The NightOwl.

My radio show is recorded live as it goes out into the radiowaves from 11pm on Wednesdays (wtju.net or 91.1 FM in the listening area around Charlottesville, VA) until 1am on Thursday.  Merging with the Night has occupied this 2-hour slot bridging across the midnight boundary for a few years now, and it has always been more than a rock show.  We like to push the boundaries of genre.  I'm glad to continue the Merge-y vibe of the show in the first hour.  The NightOwl might make things weirder in the second hour.  But each week is different and the main idea is to give free rein to dreamy sounds.

I hope you enjoy.
