STEREO SANCTITY LO-FI RADIO SHOW

I hate the word ‘podcast’, not least because I don’t own a ‘pod’ and am not ‘broadcasting’ in any real sense, and thus I don’t want to call this one.

Let’s call it a lo-fi radio show instead.

Here’s the deal:

Whenever I have a spare evening and/or feel the need, I will plug in the mic, crank up Garageband and record a radio show.

I will endeavour to put things together ‘live’, in roughly real time, just like a proper music radio show.

I will play what I consider to be a truly kick-ass selection of punk rock, blues, jazz, outsider pop, psychedelia, folk, classic rock, avant/drone, spoken word, field recordings, indefinable weirdness and whatever else takes my fancy. I will also talk in between, hopefully going some way toward fostering the same spirit of shared musical enjoyment and discovery found in high-quality DJ-based radio programming throughout the ages. I'm not exactly the most charismatic or confident radio presenter, but hey, give me time.

I will try to make each show roughly 80 minutes long, so that people who don’t use mp3 players or listen to music on their computers can put it on a CD-R. (That said, this debut program comes in at about 82 minutes I’m afraid, because I goofed up the timing a little, but you can put it on two CDs if you like.)

I will split each show into two parts (or ‘sides’ if you will), for ease of recording and up/downloading. Each will be an .mp3 file which will be available to download from this site (via YouSendIt) for one week. If you miss the files, or don’t have the technology to easily download them, just drop me a line and I’ll be glad to get them to you via email or post.

This is a fairly crazy venture for me in some respects, so I’d really appreciate it if anyone wants to drop me some feedback, advice, comment etc., ESPECIALLY in the event that you encounter any tech/sound difficulties:

So, that out of the way, here goes:

Amongst others, this show features stuff from The Oblivians, Pentagram, Archie Shepp, Fursaxa, Blind Mamie Forehand, G.K. Chesterton, Herman Dune and no lesser personage than God. Enjoy!
