A new set begins: Mulesweat - C. Pigeon -
Comment: I mixed the wrong version of this, without rain sound effects. Disappointing. Perhaps it will appear on CC8? I usually write these types of things in the week leading up to the show. They are fun for me to make. Multi-tracking in Garageband.
Comment: Interesting to hear that Bonham song again. I always thought Jason Bonham did a nice job of being the kid of a famous musician. His dad was, of course, John Bonham of Led Zeppelin. This was his debut single in America and I remember it being played a lot on MTV and on rock radio. Very Zep sounding. Especially the vocalist. And the Kashmir overtones are evident. Kind of like the way Julian Lennon's, Velotte, sounded a lot like John Lennon. Anyway ... Mostly it's just a nostalgic thing for me. Something I lived through. Can't hurt to review them. It's not like stuff like this is burning up the airwaves now. Hair metal needs FMU love and attention. All that can do-ooo ... is wait for you.
A new set begins: Street Sounds Manhhattan Last Night
Comment: I was going to have a WHOLE show of street sound with no ME in it ... Clay-Free. Which we WILL do in the future I hope. I actually went out for an hour and walked around getting continuous audio footage. In the end, I whittled it down to this couple of minutes. Recorded Wednesday night - Jul 22, 15. NYC 10-11pm. Not that great.
A new set begins: Interviews in the Park - Recorded Wednesday in Union Square Park Wednesday night, 8pm 7/22/15. It was fail. After the second interview, I bailed. Needed a BREAK from week after week of interviewing. It is hard, you guys. So I decided to do the sound of the city show with just an hour of street sound, but I couldn't justify it. I'm not Kenny G. So I got home at 11pm and had to throw something together for the next day ... this show.
A new set begins: Mr. Nettles - C. Pigeon ------- This was a fun one to make. I struggle ALL the time now with my voice, which has aged and which I have damaged quite a bit through screaming, singing, talking, smoking, all these years. I just can't do a lot of voices anymore, and they can't have much range or elasticity. Mostly old people. In this instance, I was upstate and my wife and a friend went of for a while. I was alone, which is rare when you live in the city. Being alone, I was able to speak a little louder and more dramatically than normal. That helped. This was an improv, recorded line for line, very quickly. As usual, the figure of a kind of abusive, dominant figure emerged, and some weak underlings with all the virtues. A recurring theme. Hope you enjoy it. There is no logical ending. I just ran out of time. Endings are overrated anyhow.
Comment: So there you have it ... thanks for listening. Always remember. CP7241599
