PCR 2006-06-29 #030 - No ShowLast program description:
Just a quick note to say that Scott’s hair is on fire. To make matters worse, Scott’s going on “vacation” and won’t be able to deliver the Podcheck goodness via audio until July 14th. Jeff is also insanely busy and has two options: narrow his scope, or broaden his medications.
As such, Scott threw together a gift, an apology letter of sorts for our hiatus in the form of this audio message. (You’re welcome, Andy!)
Some production notes: The old scratchy version of “Yes, We Have No Bananas” is from The Cylinder Preservation and Digitization Project - Creative Commons License Attribution: “University of California, Santa Barbara Library”
Here is some text from their website describing their mission and copyright information:
On this site you will have the opportunity to find out more about the cylinder format, listen to thousands of musical and spoken selections from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and discover a little-known era of recorded sound.
Restored versions of the audio files, including the downloadable MP3 files are © 2005 by the Regents of the University of California. They are licensed for non-commercial public use under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial 2.5 License.
I searched for “Bananas” and came up with two hits, one of which served as the music for today’s audio production. The singing and voices are just Scott with a TON of equalization to remove the bass and midrange. I produced it entirely in Sony ACID Music Studio. I know. It’s truly remarkable.
Please enjoy your Fourth of July holiday, be safe, and be well.
