this is the last program of 2007 for me. the school semester is over and i am running, returning back to texas for a lovely winter break full of fun. but fear not—wmbr djs will be on hand for the next five editions of this program. their identities will remain hidden now, but i have no doubt that their musical peregrinations will be exciting and worthwhile. their playlists will also be posted on this website.

i enjoyed this last program; it was a bit rough but it also had some nice moments. since it is now december 21, happy birthday to frank zappa too. my program stretched about 13 minutes past midnight and then i signed off, so if you'd like to hear the tail end of the program, listen to hex enduction hour's archive. also in the beginning i promised some steve grossman but i never got around to that; i'll save that for my next edition of the program. see you in the new year—be well.
