Well what can I say about today’s show? It can go one of two ways: 1) I play a variety of composers or 2) I play my entire collection of Star Trek music. So today’s episode is kinda one of those “Choose your own adventure” stories. So sit back, enjoy, and live long and prosper!

In tribute to Berklee Alum Howard Shore receiving his honorary doctorate this Saturday, I will be playing all Howard Shore scores, including The Departed, The Aviator, Naked Lunch and of course, LOTR. And don’t forget to check out the commencement concert tonight at the Agganis Arena with some of your favorite BIRN DJs MC-ing the ruckus (including yours truly).
