So I was hanging out with my friend Sohpie, and I flat-out asked her, "What theme should I have for my show in an hour?" And she said, "Monk." She meant Thelonious Monk, but that sprung both of us into a series of song suggestions regarding monks and monkeys. Then she suggested "Flowers" for the second topic, and this is how this show exists.
I big contribution to this show in particular was you. Yes, YOU. I had quite a few calls with suggestions for the theme, and I don't think I could have kept the theme going without it. It's moments like those that makes me realize how important listeners are, if I ever forget.

- Themes: I've said this before, but having themes is a great way to connect a set, and having two themes was a great way to have a variety of sounds. As I was listening, the change from Monks to Flowers was clear, and created a whole new soundscape.
- Paper Mario: Video game music really makes me happy in general, but Paper Mario is a game very dear to my heart, and it's always a pleasure hearing waves of MIDI goodness streaming over the airwaves.
- Joanna Newsom: Apparently many more people have love for Joanna Newsom than I thought. Immediately when I said that the topic was Monks/Monkeys, my friend Sophie gave me this song, and I got 2 calls about it! Thus, I had to play it, even though it ran into the flower set a bit.
- I honestly don't have a lot of bad things to say about this show. Perhaps I could have layered somethings, but I don't regret a thing.
