This week's disaster-box of a show is now downloadable. We do apologise for making such substandard crap available to the general public. We also apologize for the plethora of popping p's provided by a particularly crappy pile of poopy pop shield.

In this week's episode:

  • German Borris? Well, not quite. Dinge und Sachen has a nice ring to it though.

  • Phone problems left our hero flapping about for content to yell about for the first quarter of the show. No shocker there, right?

  • The concept of piezo contact microphones was discussed, and a few recordings of not so practical uses of piezos were aired, such as a toilet flush from inside the bowl using the toilet itself as a resonater, and a look at the world from the point-of-view of a mailbox.

  • I got the Sennheiser-made Grundig W1 stereo mics on Thursday, and was going to demo them in their current configuration. One mic decided to sound really peaky and nasty during the show, and now works fine. Go figure. Big flop on that one. The proper sound of these mics when in very close proximity to one another is featured in the intro.

  • A call from Cookie Monster? Sure, why not?

  • May 23 is "Tray day." Find out what that is, and why it is called what it is... sort of.

  • This show marked the fourth anniversary of the death of the Burlington Industries building here in Greensboro, which pretty well signified the end of the local textile industry. I was there on that faitful day in 2005 with a cheap minidisc recording rig. Now, through the power of retroactive radio, you can be there as well.

  • Mommy, an x-Burlington Industries employee, called in to the studio, and discussed the building, as well as other things.

  • If all goes to plan, P&D Audio Productions RealTime 2009, the tenth such show, will happen next Saturday. This was brought up, which lead to a discussion about gigs, and the fact that I haven't done any live musical things in seven years, not counting the one song I played on one of Randy's gigs when I was in West Virginia last November.



For those who tuned in, I'm sorry. For those who didn't, I envy you. Ah well, I had a good run there for a little while.
