19.00 Clear Spot Freaky Trigger
FREAKY TRIGGER and the LOLLARDS OF POP

Nonsense (when all is said and done) is still nonsense. But the study of nonsense, that is science. Serious about the silly stuff, serious about the silly, the interweb's one sane collective arrives on air to do what it does best: putting the "pie" back into saloon-bar piety, from the meaning of
twins in children's literature to the best recipes for frying cheese. Or that other thing. We drop science so you can pick it back up again.

Dammit. Somebody needs to post here more often about these.

i hope Carsmile (or someone) was able to record the whole show as i got held up and have only got last third

― sede vacante (blueski), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 19:58 (seventeen years ago) link

OMG tanya headon actually exists! i thought she was a private little joke amongst the senior FT'ers!

NOW YOU KNOW BETTER

lol beth ditto space-karaoke

― sede vacante (blueski), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 19:59 (seventeen years ago) link

i might have got the whole thing - will need to check back through tho.

also to convert to something smaller than THE SIZE OF THE WORLD: what kind of file-size should i be aiming for?

― cis boom bah (cis), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 20:09 (seventeen years ago) link

encode it 56 or 64kbps MONO

― sede vacante (blueski), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 20:10 (seventeen years ago) link

but won't that sound horrible?

― cis boom bah (cis), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 20:14 (seventeen years ago) link

it shouldn't sound significantly worse than the original stream. i just encoded what i recorded to 64kbps mono and it's fine. i recorded the standard mp3 stream tho, not the 128kbps one nor the ogg or real streams.

― cis boom bah (cis), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 22:59 (seventeen years ago) link

listenin to the start now. love how PUMPED Tracer sounds.

― sede vacante (blueski), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 23:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Hahaha god. Our greatest fear was mere competence but I think we missed that mark somewhat. There is NO WAY I am listening to the show again (I say as I download the above link).

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 23:17 (seventeen years ago) link

hahaha I sound like ANDY DICK

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 23:25 (seventeen years ago) link

ANDY DICK ready for NPR consumption. (I mean that in a very nice way.)

"We drop science so you can pick it up again."

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 23:27 (seventeen years ago) link

AGGGH I HATE NPR, MICHAEL

HOW DO I SHOT BRITISH ACCENT

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 23:32 (seventeen years ago) link

Anyway, the panel performed admirably and our studio technician - PETE - who I did not thank on the show because I was too flustered - was a more than a "dab hand" at an unfamiliar mixing board, besides keeping us all on schedule and the other things than an editor does. Big hats off.

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 23:35 (seventeen years ago) link

Serious about the silly stuff, serious about the silly

No lame reversals for FT! Totally excited to listen to this.

GEEZ LOUIZE, all's I'm saying is you sound really professional 'n' shit but not Clear Channelish -- you keep the pace lively and you don't fill the dead spaces with ums and uhs and urs.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 23:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Haha I know. I am just still mourning not being born as James Earl Jones. (Who actually had a severe speech impediment for years before overcoming it, so hmm.)

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 23:43 (seventeen years ago) link

(now i have this irrational fear that wiretap will somehow have picked up me having a conversation while listening, despite fact that it clearly only records what's playing on the computer)
(also it's done that thing where it fucks up yr sound settings so safari is mute, argh)

― cis boom bah (cis), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 23:51 (seventeen years ago) link

you sound good, Tracer!

― cis boom bah (cis), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 23:53 (seventeen years ago) link

sounds fine to me cis, thanks. i can put it on ftspace now.

pop forecast. fair to constant. good.

excellent work people (and i'm not JUST saying that out of some sort of friendship bias)

― sede vacante (blueski), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 23:53 (seventeen years ago) link

alt link to recording

― sede vacante (blueski), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 00:56 (seventeen years ago) link

― sede vacante (blueski), Thursday, 14 December 2006 10:47 (seventeen years ago) link

steve isn't that the same link? it works for me if you copy and paste the link; otherwise not.

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Thursday, 14 December 2006 10:49 (seventeen years ago) link

― sede vacante (blueski), Thursday, 14 December 2006 10:52 (seventeen years ago) link

oh and Tanya Headon of course

― Lauren (lauren), Thursday, 14 December 2006 15:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Better Tanya next time, please!

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Friday, 15 December 2006 13:38 (seventeen years ago) link

Can you elaborate, Andrew?

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Friday, 15 December 2006 14:38 (seventeen years ago) link

I think you might've misquoted me a bit Tim... I said Harold Wilson was probably the coolest prime minister of my lifetime, not necessarily the best. I demand a retraction!

― KeefW (KeefW), Friday, 15 December 2006 18:59 (seventeen years ago) link

I didn't claim you (or I) named HW as the best! I said he was a candidate for best Prime Minister of my lifetime, and surely you aren't about to deny that, eh?
