How about a weekly/fortnightly HRC Radio show?
I assume a podcast type thing.
We could have interviews with various members and there is a heap of Music to play.
I could certainly help spearhead a project like this as i'm between jobs at the moment.
Has this been thrown around before?
I'm sure there would be plenty of interest.

Aug 22, 2007 07:39 pm That has been thrown around in my head for years...
Aug 22, 2007 07:52 pm Well i'd like to get started.
I've PLENTY of time on my hands ATM.
Can i sign you up as my first interview?
Aug 22, 2007 08:36 pm Sure, if anyone is volunteering to engineer it, produce it and all that, let's talk...
Aug 22, 2007 08:59 pm I've never done it before but I'd love to give it a try.
Or at least help someone who has the time and knowledge.
Aug 22, 2007 09:42 pm After this weekend I can give a bit of time to help produce it. I've done several things like this in the past for other peeps.
We would need to start with your interview questions that you record and send to the interviewee and myself if I am mixing. Then dB would of course record his answers. This could be done over the phone as well, but that requires equipment I don't own at the moment so we'll bypass that.
If by chance something were to come out of it that needed a possible second part to a question we simply record the second part, or third or fourth. The alternative is to give a couple of alternate secondary questions that might come up in the conversation.
But I have also seen it done via email or live chat, then each party simply records their part of the convo and sends it in to be edited and assembled.
Its not as tough as it sounds.
But the idea does give the chance to surround it with members music as well to fill out a show.
And yes, it has rolled around this head for years as well. I think dB and I have even drank several beers pondering it once or twice over the last how many years.
Aug 22, 2007 09:51 pm My PC is set up to do the phone interview.
International calls are pretty cheap from Oz, Especially to the US.
In fact we could do it via phone or VOIP.
I could start work on a show format if that'll help.
Aug 22, 2007 10:04 pm pfffft, I'm not doing an interview, already did one this month...
Aug 22, 2007 10:06 pm You'll do it and you'll like it!
Aug 22, 2007 10:16 pm Don't make me come over there!
Aug 23, 2007 01:27 am awww, be a sport db.
yeah, you could do interviews via skype possibly, and theres plenty of artists/music here I thinks.
go bleak!
Aug 23, 2007 05:19 am just pitch-shift your voice down, and add an auto-wah! we'll never know it's you.
Aug 23, 2007 08:44 am Oh God! That would be a hoot! dB and Noise could become the 'click and clack' of project studio recording.
'your plug in makes wierd noises?' Does it still make wierd noises when you pull it out?' 'have you tried sticiking it somewhere else?'
I'd tune in for that!
Aug 23, 2007 08:47 am I have talked to Noize a few times about doing 60-second videos of "quick tip" type things...never have gotten it off the ground, but I still think that's a good idea, too...kind of video answers to FAQ's with visual aids...
I've had that idea in the back of my noggin for a couple years.
Aug 23, 2007 10:41 am I've spoken heavily with a mate tonight about this and i've decided i'm grabbing the ball and running.
HRC FM will exist shortly.
With DB's Consent this beast shall live.
First interview Noize?
Noize?
Aug 23, 2007 10:53 am It's a great idea, Bleak. I'll certainly be tuning in!
Aug 23, 2007 10:57 am I can probably provide some overblown announcer tags or something...
Aug 23, 2007 11:00 am Cheers Jim, Actually With your recent Success you'd be perfect for an interview!
Your about the most famous person here!

What a pop star.....
Aug 23, 2007 11:05 am Actually, my last one was for some web development site asking me my opinions on various things...no pop star crap involved... :-)
Yeah, Bleak, run with it, I like it. It's a great idea, I just don't have the time...I dunno why but I seem to have lots of demands on my time this year...not sure why I got so popular all of a sudden...it's a mixed blessing at best.
Now the 60-second quicktips videos idea is back at the forefront of my mind too...
Aug 23, 2007 11:11 am An Aussie accent might be a bit strange for the first ever HRC Podcast!
I'm off to bed now but I'd love to wake up to some more encouragement and ideas!
I'm Fair Dinkum doing this.
Aug 23, 2007 11:30 am I'd be interested in doing something. What about just collectively come up with a bunch of questions to ask? If someone could record the questions and act like a host we could then just punch that in with our responses.
Aug 23, 2007 11:34 am Quote:
If someone could record the questions and act like a host
Ahhheemmmmm <sound of throat clearing>
Aug 23, 2007 11:37 am Yeah, we could, canned questions make it kinda stiff, not like an evolving conversation, but it could do the job.
Aug 23, 2007 11:46 am Quote:

Not when I'm done with them - lol
Aug 23, 2007 12:37 pm no no no, i think the interviews should be organic. a real conversation. I think a lot of people here "know" each other pretty decently that it could make for interesting conversation/interaction. I'm telling you, skype would be perfect. We could all help compile (aka suggest) questions if the interviewer wants.
Anyhow, here's my list of people I want to see interviewed, pronto!
db
noize
herb
wyd
flame
guitarjim
olddog
tonyd
beerhunter
forty
tallchap
walt (top of the list, actually)
colonelsanders
coco
tadpui
Edit:
pjk
geoff
and I'm sure there are others, but they're slipping my mind
Aug 23, 2007 12:49 pm Bwahahaha, how about walters? That would have to be an interesting interview.
Aug 23, 2007 12:50 pm THAT would be a very interesting interview...
...or maybe that ******* I just banned a few minutes ago for leaving 10 threads about where to get cheap Nike shoes and other name brand ****...
I think Bleak should interview one of his other personalities first... :-D
Aug 23, 2007 05:27 pm OK, after reading the rest of this thread I am willing to go with this and do the engineering and such. With the help of anyone interested as it seems this has drawn some attention. BeerHunter, I think that is you if your offering that is??
I think since Bleak is set up for this type of thing on his PC and he is the instigator of this thread it would work. I do believe a true conversation, not just canned questions with dry answers and no comeback would be a bit sterile as stated abbove.
As for the Aussie voice being the interviewer, my opinion is it will show that HRC is not just a little American based site, it is truly global.
AS for Herb, if you have heard him in all his glory as I have he is the perfect voice guy for this type of thing.
dB and I just talked and he is willing as I am. We are both horribly overbooked. So I guess I having a little more free time would be willing to be the first interviewee. Although this will have to wait until next week as I finish some of my problem projects, or I should say, piled up over booked projects.
I do also like the idea of a question pool form the members, or at least those willing to participate.
Another member I would like to nominate for the interview list is Rob or robbue1 as he is known now. With the release of his 6th or 7th album pending he would be a wonderful guest. Bleak, can we do a 3 way conversation by chance, I would love to be vocal for that one, since I have been listening to his stuff for awhile now, and have all his music as well.
Anyway, back on topic. Bleak, BH, Herb you guys have my email so lest jump on this and try and set up a timetable and share some ideas.
coolo, do you use Skype? Is Skype the answer to a larger multi user interview type set up? I've only read small bits on it and am not sure I want to become a supernode without knowing it.
Aug 23, 2007 05:33 pm i don't know about a multi user set voice interview. I've never personally used skype with voice, only for IMing in the office, as that's what everyone is on here. But lots of people here call overseas on Skype frequently (i believe its free?). But like I said, I don't use it voice wise so I'm not sure if you can have more than a one on one conversation. But let me ask someone real quick...
Edit: apparently you can have up to 5 people at a time. though looking at the software it says up to 9? Either way 3 should be ok.
you just have to set your soundcard properties to record what you hear, everyone here should be able to handle that.
Aug 23, 2007 06:20 pm Yup, count me in. Not sure where to go from here but I'll do what I can. Just let me know what you need help with.
Aug 23, 2007 06:24 pm Uuuuuhhhhhhh, Noize? When did I say I am willing for what? What I will say is that I will stamp this as an official piece of HRC media (so Bleak can use the name or acronym in the broadcast) and that I think it's a great idea...as far as time to donate to product it, well, that is another matter...I have my time dedicated elsewhere...
Now, I gotta go give Bleak mod status so he can get into the back room...we may need to chat privately.
Aug 23, 2007 06:40 pm Hands down, it's obvious that Bleak should host the affair and do the interviews. I'll be around for whatever I can help with.
Aug 23, 2007 07:13 pm Wow, I made Coolo's list! What a result!
Anyway Bleak, very cool man, love the idea. Happy to help out as best I can
Aug 23, 2007 07:21 pm I worded that wrong I suppose. The meaning was to be your behind the idea but not able to participate in an interview or such. I type faster then my mind works.
Sorry for the miss information.
Aug 23, 2007 07:24 pm i'm flattered but confused to be on that list. only thing i'm good for is music theory
Aug 23, 2007 09:45 pm Guys you're all dead set awesome!
My Main PC is undergoing some repairs ATM so that'll give me time to formulate things.
Any and all suggestions are welcome.
Herb, have you got Broadband mate? Actually does anyone NOT have it?
If anyone comes across any interesting sound bites in their browsing fling 'em over.
I'm rubbishing Coolo's list because I'm not on it :)
Very exciting stuff!
hhmmm, now, about the launch party ....
Aug 23, 2007 11:13 pm I'm going through the archive I have of all the HRC music. And I'm pretty sure I have everything ever posted from the very beginning, so I'll pick a few out and we can decide which shall be the opening number so to speak.
Aug 23, 2007 11:38 pm Sweet! What was the first ever song? That's gotta get a special mention!
Aug 24, 2007 12:09 am Honestly I think it was flames song titled No Cigarettes. I'm going to have to check them by file date to be sure.
Aug 24, 2007 12:53 am bleak, you can't be on the list, cuz you can't interview yourself...
plus I know theres some others I'm forgetting that I would like to see interviewed, but they're not coming to mind right at the moment...
Aug 24, 2007 01:08 am Yeh i know! Just having a laugh :)
I think Flame or Noize would be the best candidates for the fist interview.
But your right! There are HEAPS of peeps to chose from.

Yikes, what's a "fist interview"?!
Aug 24, 2007 10:33 am Dragon Orchid would be a great interview, as I know she was doing a lot of work. Guerrilla and otherwise.
I know she hasn't been on in forever, but I thought about her setup the other day.
Karen too, I know she's done a lot of in house work.
Aug 24, 2007 10:34 am Answer the questions . . . or "POW" right in the kisser =).
Aug 24, 2007 11:10 am If it's a FIST interview then I dont wanna be involved
Aug 24, 2007 11:19 am Title: "Flame Gets Fisted"
Talk about click-through potential.
Aug 24, 2007 11:46 am Maybe "Flame Got Fisted" would make a good sequel to "Freddie Got Fingered". I'm afraid to know that part 3 of the trilogy would be though..."Willhelm Got Donkey Punched"?
:D
This radio show could definitely be a fun concept...if not for anybody else but us HRC dwellers!
Aug 24, 2007 12:23 pm I thought that too, it may just be fun to hear each other blather on about our stuff.
Aug 24, 2007 05:14 pm OUCH, I don't wanna get punched either! :-)
Bleak, I'm gonna go through some files late tonight and see if I can find the oldest, which I still think is flame. But I have been wrong before and could be wrong again.
Aug 24, 2007 07:46 pm Maybe i should change the format and lose the Fist interview!
OK, for those of you who have Skype do a search for me via my email.
[email protected]
Might be a good idea to set up a contact list.
Aug 24, 2007 08:30 pm I'm set up on Skype, Bleak. I sent you a message to add me.
Aug 24, 2007 08:35 pm Alright, so if I install skype there is no garbage in there that is going to run my friggin PC while I'm not looking, correct??
In its early days I just heard too much crap about it being a target for people wanting to run crap through someone else's IP and crap.
If I'm wrong I will get on it as it may be advantages to have in the long run, especially if it is free.
Aug 24, 2007 08:35 pm God, if Noize finds that song of mine I suspect it'll be terrible
Aug 24, 2007 08:39 pm Well Noize, it's about 40 MB of (you decide) program on your computer. P2P is dubious at best. LimeWire, anyone? hehehehe
Aug 24, 2007 08:45 pm No message as yet Herb.
Noize - I've not had any problems with Skype.
It'll want to install Google tool bar but i just canned it.
Aug 24, 2007 08:48 pm Herb! Just got it
Aug 24, 2007 08:49 pm I'm in! Not that I'm excited about worldwide conversation or anything. Satellite delays are annoying even with cell phones.
But I digress.
Aug 24, 2007 09:04 pm Bleak and I got it together... this network will work!
Sign up, gentlemen.
Aug 24, 2007 09:05 pm Hey Herb, that was great. the quality from your end was radio broadcast quality.
Aug 24, 2007 09:34 pm It's better when I speak into the mic. By the way, Bleak, that Moderator tag looks good on Dr. Bowel. ;-)
Aug 24, 2007 09:59 pm Yes, The good doctor has a suitably more distinguished look now days!
Aug 24, 2007 11:19 pm I just installed this Skype thing. (They even had a Mac version!)
Guitar_Jim is my handle.
I already added Bleak as a contact. I gotta get me one of the USB mic/headset combos tomorrow!
Aug 24, 2007 11:24 pm I got your invitation to talk, Herb, but I don't have a mic or headset at the moment!
Aug 24, 2007 11:28 pm FLAME, I have said this at least one hundred times in this forum.
That very first tune you posted of No Cigs is by far one of my all time favorites to listen to. It is the purest, most unadulterated effective pieces of music I have heard in all my years of involvement in music.
un·a·dul·ter·at·ed
adj.
1. Not mingled or diluted with extraneous matter; pure.
This is my honest opinion on the matter. I promise (maybe) to not tell anyone how you recorded it. But I think it would maybe give some real motivation to those who are just starting out with little or no equipment to speak of. It would show them exactly how good you can get things in the most oppressive situation.
Anyway, I assume you still have the original do you not?? Maybe you should go back and listen to exactly how good it does sound, but remember how you did it and why.
OK, rant over.
I will try and install and sign up for Skype probably on Sunday. I'll let you know when I'm up and running.
And lastly flame, rest assured it is not terrible at all. If it were I would not have kept ranting about it all these years.
Aug 25, 2007 07:57 am are you guys using skype on your non-audio computers or something? guitarjim, why a headset? i've been on skype talking through a shure with limter, eq, amp modeling, and light reverb before. hehe.
Aug 25, 2007 08:21 am The headset looks cool...
I don't always keep my mics and stuff set up like I should. My kids can't seem to keep their hands off my stuff. Plus, I thought you might run into feedback/interference types of issues with the microphone picking up what's coming through the speakers. Is that not an issue?
Perhaps I'll try it with my regular recording setup before I splurge. Good call!
Aug 25, 2007 09:21 am I'm using my regular vocal mic and mixer. True feedback isn't an issue because of the delay factor. I used the speakers when I talked to Bleak, and it was fine, but if we record anything, I'll use headphones to avoid having the delayed sound recorded.
Aug 25, 2007 09:41 am OMG, When the folks at HRC get a head on things do fly! I for one am really syked. I've spent hours imagining the hearing and seeing the 'the rest of the communication' in these threads. MHO, there are a lot of dynamic personalities here at HRC.
I love the friends I have gathered together on this thin raft
We have constructed pyramids in honor of our escaping
Aug 25, 2007 02:42 pm Walt, you are funny sometimes. Pyramids in honor of our escaping? Into the next phase of HRC I take it. Or is it something else?
I am sure once this gets going it should be very cool, even if it doesn't become some huge entity, it will still be interesting, and I for one will learn a couple of new tricks.
Aug 25, 2007 02:55 pm Walt, haven't we all covered that Doors tune at one time or another...I love it...
Aug 25, 2007 03:18 pm Quote:
Pyramids in honor of our escaping
Can I steel that line?
Its gonna take me a week to get up to speed with skype etc. Gotta few things on the go and deadlines approacing.
This is going to be cool though. What about video?? Wouldn't be difficult really.
Aug 25, 2007 03:53 pm I think you'd have to ask Jim Morrison if you can steal it...
Aug 25, 2007 03:58 pm Really, that was the Doors. That sucks. What about, Pyramid in honor of their escaping?? haha. Ok, well it was a cool line anyways.
Aug 25, 2007 04:03 pm I forget the song, but after that comes "This is the land where the Pharoah died" and other such Morrisonisque babblings
Aug 25, 2007 04:04 pm Bah, it's "Texas Radio and the Big Beat" or something like that...
Aug 25, 2007 05:42 pm that's a doors line? what song?
pyramids had something to do with escaping, i guess. they were sort of staircases to the afterlife. spiritual machines to send the departed pharoah off. significances in the shape and the skyward thrust and blah blah blah (from jim's margin notes<joke)
Aug 25, 2007 06:55 pm Hey Noize
Thanks a lot man, really appreciate it, it means a lot coming from you. Do you still have a copy? I dont anymore, it musta gone walkies when my harddrive died.
As for the recording method, was that one that I did with a mini practise amp instead fo a preamp? Those were the days!
Aug 25, 2007 07:00 pm PS: added you to my Skype Bleak!
Any of you guys wanna add me, its James.Burling
Aug 25, 2007 07:20 pm Its from the WASP, (Texas Radio). I have heard the expression 'life raft' many times as a reference to people working together. I would imagine the pyramid is a symble of something accomplisned that was monumental. As for the 'escaping' MHO; that is simple. He didn't have much reverence or desire to be a part of 'reality' as it presented itself at that time. I see it fitting for much of what happens here at HRC. That's a complement by the way.
Aug 25, 2007 07:28 pm Thanks for the add, flame! I'll have Skype on for the next couple of hours if anyone wants to call and check their connection or BS for a minute. I'll be in and out so let it ring or I'll get back to you.
Guitar Jim, did you get your girly headset? Heeheehee
Oh, and if anyone wants to add me, it's Steve Moser.
Aug 25, 2007 11:37 pm Flame, I didn't receive any requests but i added you so you might get one from me.
Aug 26, 2007 01:25 am flame, it was even simpler then that. I shouldn't say though until peeps get to hear it and then let them try to figure out how you did it. I'll email you tomorrow and give you the skinny on it.
But to answer, yes I have two versions of it. One that was done later with a bit more equipment then you had for the first one, or was it a remix by someone. I don't recall at the moment. But ya, I still have the original. I have it on a drive I just switched out and will be popping it in tomorrow to get it out for upload. I'll let you know before I let anyone else hear it though.
Aug 26, 2007 05:03 am I'm kinda excited about hearing it now!
Aug 26, 2007 12:22 pm Hey peeps, I got Skype setup and working on this end. Sorry I missed some of you on chat last night. Anyhow, add me if you haven't already.
beerhunter341
Aug 26, 2007 06:13 pm Will do Beer!
Herb; I'll drop you that email tomorrow - ran out of time today. Sorry about that!
Aug 27, 2007 07:11 am coolo and a few others like olddog that live in the area , we could get together and do a one on one thing at each others studio or something like that.
Aug 27, 2007 09:20 am Geoff, you got Skype mate?
If not can we get on email? You would be great to interview!
Aug 27, 2007 01:50 pm old dog is in the area?
Sep 27, 2007 06:49 pm <bump> So whatever happened to this?
Sep 27, 2007 06:53 pm Still happening!
I just need some more content.
Noize was working on the tunes i think.
I would like a review of some gear or something, you want it?
oh, and i did by that postcard! just havent sent it yet :)
Sep 27, 2007 06:58 pm Bleak, All the gear I own is either old, been reviewed already, or just plain uninteresting :-0. Thanks for the offer though.
I'll try to have the Skype open this weekend if you want to chatter.
Sep 27, 2007 07:04 pm What about some tech tips? Some little work around you have with some gear or good compression settings for mongolian throat singing?
This weekend might be difficult, it's a Grand final weekend for both the AFL and NRL.
Infact you can catch the NRL Final on
Sunday 30th September
Rugby League 09:30 Setanta Sports 1
Sep 29, 2007 03:16 pm Bleak, yep I'm still digging. I'm trying to find the oldest stuff I can so we can kind of hint to the beginnings of HRC with the first show.
Oct 05, 2007 03:56 pm Wow, missed a lot of this thread...

i'm flattered but confused to be on that list.
Me too.
You're mistaking me, Coolo, for someone who knows what the h.e. hockeysticks they are doing!
I need in on this, what's the format going to be again?
Oct 05, 2007 06:53 pm Funny you should reply just now, I'm doing the 'first draft' today.
