pop culture – food – tech – occult

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!

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.

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.
