Things and Stuff for May 2, 2009
Yep, welcome to May, and another weekend. Time for another one of these archive things
In this week's show:
Other non-mentioned things happened as well. It was fun, and I had a good time at it. It did not piss me "awwf!"
Although it doesn't matter, I failed to mention that May second of this year marks the eleventh anniversary of the day I got my first mixing console, which was a crappy GLI PMX-9000 four channel DJ board, for which way too much money was given. I've learned a lot about audio in eleven years, at least I'd like to think so.
In this week's show:
- Human error bordering on technical issues gets this show off to a rocky start, which is transparently fixed in the archive.
- Someone mentioned owning a Technics KN-1000 keyboard, upon which I mentioned wanting to find a good deal on a Technics KN-2000, one of the keyboards used by the legendary Wesley Willis, and proceeded to play one of his tracks.
- I demonstrated some of the fun, pointless things that can be done with Tank-FX.com, a website made by a strange German person, which uses a Linux box to record wav files through a stereo mic array and a speaker through a huge room, then allows you to download the processed sample. Some internet explorer users have had issues displaying this page, so here is a direct link to the upload form if you want to play with it yourself.
- Apparently, bad things happen to me when I imitate bad old school 60's-era radio dj style.
- A failed attempt at calling Mommy. Oh boy, Things and Stuff voicemail.
- We play a track that contains the "things and stuff breaky noise," and remind current and new listeners of what that is.
- We hear from an old CasioTone MT400V keyboard from 1984, which was found in the basement. Naturally, we had to use it in conjunction with the Electrix Warp Factory vocoder, just because it was something to do.
- Going through the downloads folder on my laptop yields some
nick6489 incrimination, and some odd sounds.
