Frank the Cat listened to my radio show this morning! His people leave PC radio on for him during the day, and you can write in and suggest a station for him to listen to. I wrote yesterday and said I'd play a special show for him, and he listened!
I did a "British cat" theme for my show: played "Fantastic Cat" by Takaka Minekawa, "Catnip Dreams" by Shonen Knife, "Hounds of Love" by Kate Bush, Mouse on Mars, Belle & Sebastian, XTC, John Wesley Harding, something full of bird noises by Cornelius, and something from the playlist about pussycats.
The only bad news was that Frank's people linked to the wrong address for our request line. So I have no idea if anyone made a request for Frank or not. I asked them to fix it but I bet they're out for the day & can't fix it until they get home.
Frank ignored most of the music but he did look up when I played a song with a coyote noise. Isn't the Internet grand? I play a song here in North Carolina, and a cat in England hears it through his computer, and on my computer I can see the cat respond!
I think it's hysterical that I finally get a listener, and it's a cat. And I'm more excited about it than if it had been a human being!
