Audio Ramblings

2006-01-27T01:33:00.000-05:00

So tonight in order to break in this new mic, i decided to try to get more comfortable with it by testing it out, so i sat down and just talked and adjusted the levels on the mixing board and just talked about anything and everything. So i decided to host part of it on here, since i have the tools. this wont be in the feed though

Audio Blog 1

i edited out the first 10 minutes or so. because, who wants to hear 10 minutes of:

"Test, Test, TEST, mic check, 1, 2, Test, hows that sound?"

anyways, if anyone actually listens to thins i'll be suprised so i'm not going to bother with show notes because this is sorta informal. if you request them, however, i'll make 'em.

Weekly Throwdown Episode 4

Weekly Throwdown Episode 3

Episode 3

Played Tonight:

Edwin Derricutt - "Cold As Ice"

Fire Undeground - "Chase Scene"

Westbound Train - "Bigger Things In Mind"

So, tonight, in an effort to cover up that hideous humming noise in the background i played around and made a background track for the show but i screwed up and somehow muted the track for the final mixdown. sorry folks, i wont mess that up next time

I'm tired, its late, school tomorrow, cya.
-Chris

//EDIT//
so i thought i'd be the first to play that Edwin Derricutt song, but CC beat me to it. like i guess we podcasted at the same time. oh well

Weekly Throwdown Episode 2

2006-01-19T21:04:00.000-05:00

i've finallly settled on a server and a system for publishing, at least until my trial of FeedForAll expires.

Episode 2

Defiance, Ohio - "Road Signs Always Look Better Looking Over Your Shoulder"

Jim Fidler - "Welcome to Ciaro Street"

Hillbilly Casino - "Pretty Baby"

The Transfer - "Down With Everything"

Tonight i mentioned the Podshow Music Rewind. and Scott Sigler's Podcast-only novel Ancestor. I also mentioned the band One Reason.

BTW, did you like that intro i put together? Thanks to The Cool Waters Band for the track, "No Use Denying". check 'em out to hear the rest of that kick-ass song. I think im getting the hang of this, now if i could only find a way to get that dang track artwork to show up in iTunes

Later
-Chris

Weekly Throwdown Episode 1

2006-01-18T01:09:00.000-05:00

The first actual episode is up!
Episode 1

Songs featured are:

Tonight i mentioned CC Chapman's Accident Hash Podcast and the Podsafe Music Network <- better bookmark that one

as time goes by i'll get more organized and know what im playing before im in the middle of recording, and i'll loosen up and wont sound as nervous, so that wont be a problem. two more area's are the obvious lack of disk space (i have 900kb left this episode is 8Mb and ina really low quality, to boot), and the lack of an icon, i would appriciate all the help i can get, so if you know any sites for hosting this stuff, or someone who can draw/design/create logos, let me know. An intro/promo would be nice as well, we'll see how lazy i get

Catch you on the flipside
Chris

Here it is

2006-01-17T22:58:00.000-05:00

This is it guys. i threatened to do it and now i've followed through. i've created my podcast, The Weeky Throwdown. heres the deal, i'll try to throw together a podcast on the weekends with songs ive discovered through out the week, and ramblings, i'll try to limit the blabbering to the text though. i have a feeling i might catch "the bug" and this podcast might become the "couple of times a week throwdown" who knows.

2006-01-17T04:31:00.000-05:00

From my LJ before this was started:

So i'm thinking about becoming a podcaster, that way i can make it easy for you people to hear these new bands i find, because some of them really deserve a listen, and with all these new methods for delivering audio to listeners ears, theres no reason why they arent being listened to. so for all of you out there.there will be no excuses. I will personally tell you how to subscribe when the time comes, for now all i have to do is figure out how to publish audio, and contact some artists and ask permission to publish it, that way i dont get sued out the wazoo. you'd be suprised how willing these independent podsafe artists are to get their music out there, as long as you ask. its a polar opposite from the RIAA and all this new DRM crap.

In related news i bought the One Reason / Defiance, Ohio 7" Split. Yes thats a record. it's pressed in clear "coke bottle" green vinyl. i'm also gonna buy the new One Reason "Mountains" EP. i mean hell its 4 dollars postage paid, you cant go wrong

songs that have caught my ear and wont let go:
World Fusion-> Jim Fidler - "Welcome To Cairo Street"
Mixed (?) -> Tom Waits - "How's It Gonna End"
Heavy Alt Rock -> Cage 9 - "Hearts & Stars"
Celtic Folk Rock -> Murder The Stout - "Whiskey In The Jar" & "Nancy Whiskey"
Rock -> Granian - "Mark My Words" ,"On My Own" & "Whole Again"

okay thats enough, there are no excuses guys.
