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
