Colorado It Ain't, But I Do Love Michigan


I just got back from a speedy road trip out to Colorado, so it was really nice to get back into the swing of things--especially at the station. Rick's been in this week, and the man is full of interesting conversation. Also, the Fuse 200 shirts came in and they.are.sweet. There is still time to snag one by the way! Just check out our website or give us a call.

Anyway. On Monday Josh received a random package chuck full of newspaper. From a couple years ago I think too. Buried deep inside was a gigantic seashell. Signed. By The Afters. I am not kidding. I love the random stuff that shows up there--but to be fair, it absolutely has something to do with their next single, called "Ocean Wide" so while it is still completely random, it's also very clever.

I've become the resident "Indie/Acoustic" lover at FuseFM, so Josh asked me to compile a list of random songs we could include in a future stream this week. Which was so cool, and I had quite a few until I realized that acoustic music, especially in the secular world, almost always hovers on that line of being too sad. This led me to question why I loved that sound so much (if you've met me you know I'm pretty much the opposite of sad), and also to start seeking out some great artists that might be playing more positive music--and I don't mean music with a blatant Christian message necessarily, but happiness would be good. "Positive music" has lots of meanings. :)

Friday was Show Day, as it's come to be known in my mind. Let me just tell you that working on show prep while staring at the mountains is both inspiring and distracting. It was strange to work on the show while on "vacation." It left me feeling discombobulated and a little fuzzy-headed when I went in today. Hopefully that doesn't show too much. I also took a risk by not fixing everything on each break--there were breaks that were great but I fumbled on a word at the end, and I just couldn't ditch the whole break and start over. Hopefully that all gets ironed out soon. :)

Oh, AND. Got signed up for my THIRD parade this week as well. :) I will be sitting on a car in Alma next weekend for the Highland Festival Parade. Wooo hoooo!! :) :) Come say hello if you can. :)
