John the Morning DJ over at KEXP, sends out an email every day after his on-air duties are over. The bulk of it lists what he’s played that day. Plus he includes emails from listeners, information about upcoming shows, things like that. It’s an interesting read.

My emphasis added
So, among all his other favorite music, he likes Radiohead. That’s a good thing.
…and yet, if he likes Radiohead so much, why, why, WHY hasn’t he played any Radiohead at all this week???
I sent him an email pointing this out, and as of 8:59 AM today, he has corrected that error.
