  • #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.

    • #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!

      • #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!!

          • #1 - Sinkhole - Retrospectacles

            It's finally here!!  I recorded it last night and produced it at the same time.  As I mentioned before in an earlier post, the format is a bit different.

            There is just one feature artist / album, and the podcast will likely be in the range of 20-30 minutes.

            Episode 1 - SINKHOLE - RETROSPECTACLES

            Check out Sinkhole's website

            The podcast is now on iTunes!!  You can go to http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=355624602 and subscribe to it :D
