Who would have guessed that an empty radio studio in a manufacturing building would be creepy at midnight when you’re there all by yourself? Crazy, isn’t it? Â Made a couple of good musical discoveries, though, of artists I’d never heard before randomly selecting them to play. That’s always a plus.
