Holy crap. That’s a lot of wax.

Last August, I posted something about a site with a bunch of old 78 RPM records all cleaned up and available for download. Turns out that there’s a monstrously huge library of old Edison wax cylinder records all downloadble from the University of California, Santa Barbara Library. Very very neat.

Tracked Music

Last week on the 3rd (even though it posted on the 4th), I mentioned that I’d found a cool old game that I remembered from my college days. It was called Star Control II back then, but now it’s been open-source released as The Ur-Quan Masters. Anyway, one of the most memorable things about the game was the soundtrack. It turns out that the folks who composed the music for the game have a site of their own where they’ve posted some remixes and updates to their old tunes.

Big music

There’s a new podcast up on the site. Basically, I’m reusing some stuff from work. It’s the soundtrack that I put together for the Hearts on Ice hockey fundraiser DVD, but without any of that pesky video or voiceover. It’s still over 5 MB, making it possibly the most hefty download I’ve put up here.

Poems by Beulah, part the first

The first of the Poems by Beulah is up and listenable. Sadly, it’s not a terribly good listen. My voice doesn’t seem to do well with either mp3 or m4a compression, so I sound like I’m speaking through a can of gravel. I’ll have to play around with pre-compression equalization and upload a new version once I’ve got that fixed.

Meanwhile, enjoy the first poem: “Daddy’s Little Dog, Tuffy.”

The Beulah Experience

I’m going to be posting some new podcasts in the next few days. They’re going to be readings from a book called “Poems By Beulah.”

It’s a difficult book to find.
