The return of AOTP:HGRNJ, episode 85.

The HGRNJ CD burner is down for good, with no replacement in sight (despite the fact that we are now paying $25 per month for the privilege of broadcasting - where is the money going?), so many of the DJs are resorting to using Freecorder to record their shows on their home PCs. I gave it a test run last night and it came out OK. These recordings won't sound as good as the previous shows I'd been posting because the new ones are the ones you'd hear if you were actually at home. The older shows were recorded right off the sound board. These new ones sound a lot harsher - sorry about that.

The process: record starting at 4.30 pm when I leave the house. Turn it off the next morning. Record at 64 kbs because that's the stream quality. By default, I'm also recording Jerry's show, Paleface Makes Big Noise. He doesn't have the wherewithal to take care of this business of recording, so I'm going to do it for him, no prob. Load the whole thing into Audacity and trim the stuff recorded before and after our shows. Split the remaining file into six parts (about one hour each). Export the whole thing to 128 kbs (I know, I know -  the source is at 64, but when I export it at 128, it sounds a little better). Still pretty harsh, but it will do.

With all that in mind, here's the return of AOTP on TGLF. All files are 128 kbs and about 60 minutes in length:

AOTP:HGRNJ 85 - Part 1 [start to Whiskeytown - "16 days"]

AOTP:HGRNJ 85 - Part 3 [from The Replacements to the bitter, bitter end]
