First off, props!
I know it must be tough sitting in a booth all day, rambling mostly to yourself, but in a way that other people can appreciate and (mostly) not want to stab you for. Also, how do you gab on and on about a product you are sponsored by or a music festival you are hosting, but time it so at the exact moment you finish, the opening line of a song starts? Seriously, it’s really impressive.
All that being said however, let’s get down to the meat of this letter, the wiki wiki (oops, wrong kind of DJ) reason I’m writing you today: I want need you to take me on a better journey.
Hear me out.
Have you ever been in a really great mood? We’re talking nothing is going wrong, I’m crushing life, haters come at me and I will literally kill you with my kindness type of day?
I hope so.
Have you ever been having this type of day and then turned on the radio to have your jam come on, making it an even better day?!
Again, I hope so.
Have you ever been having a great day, then heard your jam on the radio, and then anxiously waited out the moments of radio silence to see what magic melody was going to play next, only to have it be the most depressing song of all time? We’re talking a song that makes you question the definition of life and wonder if you’ve ever experienced a happiness as real as the sadness provoked by its lyrics.
Do you see the problem here?
Do you see how your body was given no time to prepare for such a cosmic mood shift?
It’s like when you think jumping in a hot shower after being out in the snow will be a great idea, but for the first five minutes you just stand there with your entire body stinging as it tries to thaw out.
All I’m saying is, ease me into the depression or joy or love or anger you want to share, then ease me back out. Don’t just give me an ice cream cone and then rip it out of my hand and throw it into a river.
Other than that though, keep doing what you’re doing. I love (most of) your work.

I absolutely agree. Transitions are very important. One thing XM has got right, a channel for every mood. If XM was free, but that would mean commercials. I do love a fun DJ though. Guess you can’t have it all.
Yeah, it’s tough to have a balance of everything, maybe one day! 🙂
Maybe that is your next calling? Kimi-K/Dee-J 🙂
Haha! I would totally do it if I just got to choose the music, but the whole talking thing would not go well. I’d probably ramble all over the place 🙂
