Ha ha. I knew that was coming.
I had an "apprentice" (dj in training with the station) who was this sweet 18 year old girl who thought Radiohead were "experimental music". I did stop her from playing a song off of Dark Side of the Moon, but the MGMT slipped by before I could prevent it, and the fact my wife used to strip to them made it somehow ironically o.k. for me.
As for the ELO, she said that something I was playing, I think actually the Phillipe Petit right before it, reminded her of that track, and when it started, I could actually see it. Not their typical song, though it did melt into their sound, and we faded it then.
I kind of enjoyed having my show pushed one notch closer to commercial for a week and it will probably be the same next week as I have another session with her. I don't usually play stuff like The Flaming Lips and Radiohead much at all, but I do believe that there can be "gateway drug" music for some people, and I'm always up for the opportunity to be a corrupting influence. Keeps my show fresh to not even know myself what's going to happen for sure, too.
