A small milestone barely worth mention.

We've had over 100 downloads from our Internet Archive page. That's kind of neat. Thanks to all you folks checking us out.

Animal Farm (#78)

Source is here. Originally recorded on October 16, 1997.

Still buried deep in the heat of the summer (at least right now), I arrive at a fall recording from 1997. Fall around here means the State Fair, and while rides and deep fryers and sham-wows are pretty good, the State Fair is an agricultural event, full of living examples of edible critters from around the state. I was fairly certain that was the intent of this show, until I heard the dog barking.

It's probably still the intent of this show. This show is thick with animal sounds of all shapes, sizes, and demeanors. A cacophony from start to finish, with touches of appropriate music in various places.

  1. We fall fubftitute the f for the s
  2. I heard the best dogs of my generation baying at the moon
  3. Cats, big and small
  4. Monkey Business
  5. Robot cow flyby unsettles the dogs
  6. The scientists converse about birdcalls
  7. Grotto
  8. Grotto to Beerhall transition
  9. Beerhall or Farmhouse Hoedown?
  10. Hyenas and Cows
  11. Cows and Elephants
  12. Birds in the Night
  13. The Steel Guitar Carries Me Home

Much To Do / Mush TuTu (#71)

Source also here. Recorded on August 28th, 1997.

This one's a shorty, so I should have done long before this. Oh well.

There are fewer elements in a shorter time in this, so the descriptions while accurate, are a little repetitive (heh). I don't know why "Baby Driver" was so popular with us, I can only plead inebriation. I have two favorite loops in this track, and they should be pretty obvious. Some good points happen in the middle and near the end, with the school-house-rocky kind of loops.
  1. Hello, this is Ricardo Montalban
  2. Bumping the Electric Orchestra
  3. Carsick Guitar Tuning
  4. Low Rent Counterpoint
  5. Ricardo Returns
  6. Secret Arpeggio
  7. One Car Traffic Jam
  8. We might - in fact - take it, after all
  9. A fine mess, indeed
  10. Cartesian Duality Refuted
  11. Ziddy Bop
  12. Classic Computer Music Sound Collection
  13. Everything we wanted to do crowded in at the end
