The First Episode is finally here! The main hold up was me being ridiculous about the intro and the overdubs, but this was solved (like many things can be) by a bubble bath. Anyway, on to the show notes (and there is secret information below) 1. Intro (The Story of Charles) 2. "Saturday Night", a peice of found sound I set to music. The found sound was originally posted by RJ of Sweet Thunder. Go check it out if you like found sound. 3. "Miss Lonlihearts" a dramatization of a piece originally posted on McSweeny's and written by Wendy Molyneux. The secret fun here is that hidden underneath are a series of samples that chronologically tell the story of long distance communication. They are in this order: 3000 BC: communication drums, smoke signals 490 BC: heliograph (no sound) 1150 in Bagdad pigeon post (coo, fluttering) 16th century: maritime flags 1785 hot air ballon delivers mail (no sound) 1790 AD: semaphore lines (no sound) 1838 AD: telegraph 1848 AD: telephone 1860 pony express 1896 AD: radio 19th century: Signal lamps (no sound) 1911 fist plane air mail, in India, btw 1927 AD: television (no noise) 1969 AD: computer networking (no noise) 1983 AD: Internet. (modem noise). I swear to god it's all in there somewhere. 4. "Hug Me" An audio composition I made. The fun fact here is that there are only 3 samples here, the first and second set of "hug me's," and then 1 piano sample manipulated in lots of ways, even the "electric guitar at the beginning" is the same piano sample, just overly messed with. 5. "I Was A Broken Hearted Teenage Werewolf" The meat of the project. These are the interviews that I started doing first. Special thanks to everyone who participated. And I'm sorry to those who didn't show up in the interview, it had to do with time and theme and space and all that junk. Ok, I think that's it for now. As I say in the end of the podcast, please feel free to email me with suggestions, recipes, permission to use your bands music so I don't have to write it all myself, show ideas, and love notes.
