yep, this thursday's bottle rocket radio will be the final show of the term. and since the future is unknown, there's a good chance this will be the final bottle rocket radio show EVER. gulp.
in the final show of last year's run, bottle rocket tried to only play bands that had never been played on any subcity show before (or at least not in the last 2 years). pizzicato five, superchunk, the field mice and the gothic arches all got their subcity debuts as a result. but to do the same again would feel like a concession to the runners up - if they didn't qualify last time round, why should we dedicate the final show of this year to them? that's right, we shouldn't.
so instead i'll make things a little more introspective: this thursday, bottle rocket will hunt out 10 to 15 acts that the show has somehow skipped over in its two years on the air - acts that bottle rocket personally has never got round to playing for one reason or another. call it a stocktake before we shut up shop for good.
emotional stuff, eh?
