Z's Yoyo Dance

Just a short video from PmE. This one is Xoe, dancing to Yoyo, by Fujiya & Miyagi (assuming YT doesn't kill the sound...) Click the title of the entry, should take you there. Or there's always the old 'embed' method, I suppose...

To-day there were all sorts of freaky glitches going on with the computer, so the sound quality, IMHO, is iffier than the last one...there's a lot of short dropouts, somewhat like a GED course for little people. The funniest thing was going on in which the soundboard was doing these feedback loops of the last snippet of whatever-was-going-on, kind of like a U-bow, or E-bow, or whatever you call that effect thingy Queen used on 'The Prophet Song'.

The downside to this was I could not use the computer for sound sources at all, so I had to rely entirely on tunes I brought with me. Cool beans for you, but kinda boring for me, as I own my music collection and therefore know all of it. I sorta like my radio experience to mostly consist of me bringing home music I didn't have previously.

Here are the downloads and setlists, if you want them anyway.

various and sundry

I'm still not sure if it was a oneshot deal? or if it's the recording program the station has for the streams? or just because the streams save in increments of 60 minutes the sound is compromised? But I personally wasn't overly pleased with the sound quality on those first 6 files. Now The Radiator seems to be held together by spit, polish and the love of those manning it, so if it's the broadcast itself or the recorder there's not much to be done, as it is what it is. But I suggested to Jim we load Audacity on one of the comps? as it is a shareware and therefore free.

I'm going to try recording Xoe's show to-morrow from home with Audacity and see if I like the sound better. If nothing new can be DLed at the station,I may have to either get someone to record my next one remotely, or drag in my four track.... aaanyway. We went to VCAM today and recorded new TV shows. The setlist for the new PostMortem Espresso is as follows:
Seewhatweseas-Nevershoutnever
Radiation-UKZ
Wa-Lee Jung Hyun
Spacious Thoughts- NASA w. Kool Keith and Tom waits
Pam's Purple Spyrograph-Cerebral Corps
Yer Blues- fr.'The Rollong Stones' Rock & Roll Circus'
scene fr. Ab Fab w. Marianne Faithfull & Anita Pallenburg
Shake Your Blood-Probot
Black Room-Jun Mayuzumi
Heads Explode- Monster Magner
Hot Stuff- Park Mi Kyung
January's night sky report
Demon Meeting- Old Time Relijun
Tiny Sticks- ESG
High Horses-The Residents
 Ma Meeshka Mow Skwoz- Mr.Bungle

So...what do you guys think? I have two video recording devices on my computer. One is a freeware with an incredibly tiny screen that takes very poor quality pictures, but the sound and visual is in sync. OR...I have an ArcSoft VCR2PC which, even tho I paid for it, is a poor piece of equipment IMHO; the sound and picture are out of sync from each other. Point is either way putting eps of PmE online will be a long time consuming deal, and as I've over 100 shows already recorded, I'd be adding some really old dated eps if I did start this project, so tell me: what would you rather see? Poor pic but sound synchronised, or better picture, but sound out of whack? or should I just make audio recordings of the shows and add them up as podcasts?

Let me know.... in the meantime, if you want to learn more about PostMortem, you can join the fanpage up at facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/PostMortem-Espresso/43517544549

alright, more files for y'all

Ok.After yakking on the phone with the guys from bluehost, I think we SHOULD have all of this right, so here's where you can find the rest of the show from Wednesday Jan 19th, and here are the setlists of same:

We actually went a little over in both directions; I had started with 'I Want You (She's So Heavy) by The Beatles and 'I'll Be There' by the Jackson 5 a bit before 2 pm, so you get part of the latter and none of the former; 'Steve' by R. Stevie Moore isn't in its entirety, and was followed by 'O Death' by Jen Titus and 'Tea Time Ska' by Tsu Shi Mi Ma Rae. But you get the general idea. Anyway, enjoy! and please DL, rather than stream from this site; I'm not sure if I have to pay more if the traffic is heavy to my domain, so....

The Lamb Sits Down at B-town

So....yesterday (Wednesday) I started my radio show over at The Radiator. That part, I think, went smoothly enough, and if you ever want to watch this as it's going on, there's an online stream at The Radiator website for you to check out.


Making it available for those of you who didn't/couldn't, that's where it gets complex.

I didn't have anyplace to host the mp3 files, so I just bought a domain. The site doesn't allow for a big upload (I think the max was 5 whatsybytes, and my files were like, 5.8 whateversy, so I had to run them through my sound program- in this case I have Audacity- and chop them into smaller files in order to upload them. As a result my 2 hour show is now 6 roughly-twenty-minute-ish files for you to grab if you want em. However I don't know diddly about ftp sites, so I -think- the following URL SHOULD take you to part 1, and if it does, you will find in the file the following songs:
 pt1- size=20.8MB time=22.47
--------
I'll Be There-Jacksons 5
Be Forewarned-Macabre
Fly on a Windscreen/Broadway Melody of 1974-Genesis
#9-Red Bliss
Night on Disco Mountain-Saturday Night Fever OST
Rotten Hell-Menomena
21st Century Cure- Repo!the Genetic Opera OST
intro: decompressed Tomorrow Never Knows-The Beatles

Anyway. I'm going to post this and see if I can RE-download it so I know the URL works. After that expect 5 more posts, all to get you show #1. Bear with me, people. This is all new territory for me. Going into a DJ booth and spinning sounds I've done a dozen times. Sticking it all online is a whole new ball of wax.

DL part 1

Is this thing on?

Now, I HAVE a blog/online diary thinger over at livejournal: http://claudiamercy.livejournal.com/profile that I sporadically update. I HAVE a facebook, also: http://www.facebook.com/raelonecloud?sk=notes and since those come with a Notes option there's not a lot of point in me having a blogspot thing as well. Except, you know, this shopping wishlist IS kind of spiffy (and anyone inclined to buy me prezzies ought take note of it!). But the main reason this is here is since I am planning on doing a show on The Radiator (105.9 FM WOMM-LP,Burlington, Vermont's Community Radio Station) I figured I could stash my streams on over here, since I am fairly sure there is a way to post music. One of my favourite online sound blogs is here already, that being KittenKast. I won't ~need~ to do setlists from here, since I have a logging thing at http://womm.radioactivity.fm, but I might repeat the info on here so as not to confuse myself. I guess I could also post the recent playlists for broadcasts of my public access musick show PostMortem Espresso as well, even tho it has a fanpage on facebook. Anyway. Here we are now, so I may as well rant a bit.

Let's see.... well. Last night I had a dream I was travelling, altho the place I was changed so many times I -still- don't know where it was. Allegedly I was originally in Aberdeen, although the Aberdeen I tend to dream about is a lot cleaner than Aberdeen-for-real. In this case for no reason whatsoever it had some sort of Japanese garden in it (this may have been influenced by us watching Kaidan last night) which is where I was crashing, since I had no place to go. Kurt was with us, but he was a dog. Later this dog got ill, and I had to carry him across my shoulders. For no reason whatsoever, I seemed to decide that since he was a sort of supernatural thing, being a human in a dog form, that the person to go to for help would be writer Anne Rice. Bizarrely, even tho she lives in New Orleans I was able to walk to her place from the Japanese garden.

Later in the dream I was somehow in Athens, because I had gone to Bryan's house. Jason was there also, as was this black dude who used to hang out in Paul's store all the time (unfortunarely i can't remember his name). I think I was in Athens to see a band, but I was at Bryan's to clean up, since I was roadtripping. Bryan and Jason went off somewhere and I wasn't sure if they'd left already, or were just discussing stuff, so I was getting cleaned up and dressed in the living room and kitchen, respectively. The other dude wouldn't leave, so it was kinda annoying to have to dress with him there. Also, Bryan's kitchen towel was disgusting. It was so stiff it was almost stuck to the wall.


B, I seriously hope your towels ain't like that ferreal.

Anyway. Here I am, and this is my first blogpost post, so there you go!
