Alternative Airwaves episodes:

April 09, 2010#4 - Paper Navy
Episode 4 is here! Albeit late! But I sat through a thunderstorm while recording this, risking losing all my work in the process. Today's podcast features Paper Navy, and their album All Grown Up. Here are some notes:
The opening track was called Here Comes the Rain by Wilson Noble
My poor dog was freaking out for the duration of the podcast; I dedicate it to him
I recorded this with my bizarre set up again - using two different Skype accounts between two computers.
I apologize for the popping p's. I am going to try to fix these next episode.
The closing track was called Heroines, by Diablo Swing Orchestra. Read their mythology at their official website. Seriously, check out their music. It is nuts. I think I will have to do a podcast for them alone one day.

April 01, 2010#3.5 - Vacation!
I wanted to test out an audio set up on my computer before going on vacation, so I put together this little half-podcast. Here are the artists I played on the most ridiculous set up ever:
Wilson Noble - So Let's Dance
Steven Dunston - Move a Little Closer
Michael Jameson Band - Summer Love
Hope you have a great Easter weekend - see you for episode 4 next week!

March 11, 2010#3 - Loudspeaker Alliance's Continuous Error
Welcome to Episode 3 of Alternative Airwaves! This week's episode features the album Continuous Error by Loudspeaker Alliance! Some notes for the show:
This podcast also features my dog chewing away at a plastic bottle in some breaks
The podcast was recorded on my desktop computer, at home (still no studio yet)
The theme music is Brad Sucks' (http://www.bradsucks.ne/t) Making Me Nervous from the album I Don't Know What I'm Doing; the audio at the start is from a Fantastic Four audio episode (link to come later), and I'm pretty sure that's Stan Lee's voice beckoning you to listen closely.
Check out Loudspeaker Alliance on Facebook! http://www.facebook.com/loudspeakeralliance
Here is a link for Recite the Plan: http://www.myspace.com/recitetheplan
Here is the video for The Picard Song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6oUz1v17Uo
The bonus audio at the end is from this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkBVDh7my9Q
In my script I called myself DJ Stylish Steve.
Enjoy!!
