Our new morning pastime—fretting about John in the Morning’s mental health based on his KEXP playlist—continues on Line Out.

Today’s playlist includes “Panic” by the Smiths—“hang the DJ, hang the DJ”—followed by songs about depression, suicide, and sleeping to escape the horribleness of the world. And then goes on the air to talk about how he can’t sleep lately.

From Schmader’s post, from two days ago: “I do not believe it’s fair to diagnose DJs through their playlists. But if I did, John might be ready for an intervention, or at least a big hug.”
