The Overnightscape on Luver Internet Radio

I mentioned on The Overnightscape Underground that I was going to be voting for Frank Moore for president. He heard the show and contacted me, thanking me for my support. He also mentioned the idea of adding The Overnightscape to the lineup of his Internet Radio Station, Luver.com (Love Underground Visionary Revolution). I thought it was a great idea. So, The Overnightscape will now air on Luver 9:30pm-11:30pm on Fridays (Pacific Time). Check this page for info on how to tune in.

Thanks Frank!!

Recent Graphics

I made a few graphics for the show recently. First, I made a banner for the links page of the  Legends and Champions podcast:

Also, I started a group on Facebook for The Overnightscape – come and join! Here is the graphic I made for it:

Show Update

It’s been over a week since the last episode was released… been kinda crazy with the whole Andy Kaufman Interview, this site crashing, my trip to Atlantic City last weekend, etc. I plan on getting back on track with The Overnightscape this weekend, with new episodes released early next week – back in the 45-minute format.

But of course I have not been taking a break – I have been doing The Rampler!! In fact, since I recorded Episode 740 of The Overnightscape, I have done 16 episodes of The Rampler, totalling over 11 hours in length!

Meeting Tony Clifton

I met Tony Clifton on The Rampler #47 (9/11/08).

The Rampler – A New Experimental Overnightscape Project

The Rampler

This is an idea that has been brewing for awhile, that suddenly all came together for me yesterday. I figured, what the heck, may as well get it going immediately – if it doesn’t work out, no big deal. It’s an experiment. Here is the description from ONSUG:

Join host Frank Edward Nora his daily commute, walking through the streets of NYC, as he discusses a dizzying myriad of topics. This show is an experimental “spinoff” of Frank’s main show, The Overnightscape (which continues on as normal). The show is recorded directly as a 128kbps MP3 file on an Edirol R-09 portable recorder. This makes it much easier to release the recordings, since no post-production is required. Also, at least to start with, the shows will be released without show notes to further speed up the release process.

“The Rampler” is released here on The Overnightscape Underground, but it exists outside the standard “Day” format – again, to make it easier to very quickly record and release.

Fuzzy Daupner Live Show From 2001

Check out Fuzzy Dauper at The Saint (8/18/01) over on The Overnightscape Underground. It’s a great live show that I’ve been listening to a lot lately – it really captures the band’s amazing energy. Fuzzy Daupner broke up a few months after this show, unfortunately – but with this recording (and more like it to come) the music is alive once again!!

Also included are the complete lyrics to each song.

Sneak Preview: The Missing Flea Market / Goodbye Evil Arcade (7/27/08)

I went on a little adventure today to the Palisades Center Mall and I recorded 4 hours and 17 minutes of audio, which I call “The Missing Flea Market / Goodbye Evil Arcade”. I will eventually get this recording into The Overnightscape Underground, but I figured I would make it available in this “sneak preview” form so that people can hear it right away. It is available here on the site, but it will not show up in the show feed.

I didn’t realize until after the recording that this was the 209th day of the year, which I used to celebrate as “Obliviana Day”. So it was cool to go on a fun little trip on this day that used to have some meaning for me.

By the way, that “Joose” drink I had toward the end of the recording was way too strong… I’m still recovering many hours later… I would not recommend it.

Note: This is a 59 MB lo-fi mono file (though it still sounds good). It will be the usual hi-fi stereo when I release it in The Overnightscape Underground.

Audio Comments Welcome

The new audio comment system is active! Just look over at the sidebar for the window with “Audio Comments Welcome” at the top. Starting with episode 700, you can leave audio comments, which will be collected after a period of time (I’m thinking a month) and be attached to the show in the “permanent archive”. The service is provided by PodGlo – you can sign up for the service for free, but it’s not required in order to make a comment

Don’t be shy! I’d love to hear from everyone! You’ll be able to hear all the other comments as well, and you’ll be able to respond to them.

I’m really looking forward to see how this system works!

UPDATE: You do not need to join PodGlo to use the system – you can leave a comment anonymously. If you want, you can join the PodGlo closed beta by using the invite code “abc123”. You can record your message in 2 ways – via phone, or direct on the browser. The phone method works no matter what browser/system you’re on (it’s a NY phone number, so it may be a toll call for some). For the web-based recorder, on Mac you’ll need to use Safari, and on PC you need Firefox or IE 6+. You will have to install a plug-in to use the web-based recorder.

Just click on the name of the show you want to comment on (right now, just “The Overnightscape #700”), and it will tell you how to leave the comment. Or, you can click on one of the comments that are already there to leave a comment in that thread.

Let me know how this system works for you.
