The 35 Minutes That Sum It Up Best: Motivational Karaoke, "Spring Training Eve"
Today while driving around South Austin, my iPod bringed me a blast from me past. A 35-minute segment of Motivational Karoke, the WESN radio show that Chris Golwitzer and I painstakingly crafted from 2002-2005. It wunt crafted. It wunt no pain. Part 5 of "SPRING TRAINING EVE (2/22/04) just seemed to sum up what we were about. It starts with an interview with Ted Leo after he blew out his voice in Champaign and I finished the singing for him. That ends with a clip of Babe Ruth with a fake swear word beeped in. We played Ted Leo quite a bit. A new song that's old now. A lengthy, lie-riddled microphone break, back-selling a lot of things that we used to play. A tongue lashing of the DJs on before us. An explanation of what Google is and how to spell it, followed by the futile spelling of our very long impossible find website. We were doing Dream Warriorisms then because we were on from 12-2am at that time. We went retro and pulled out...
From Christopher Yeager (of Gunga Dins):
ReplyDelete"Nick Roseman posted a gunga dins recording on his blog, live at tiamat records in peoria il 12/27/1997. this was the demo tape era, and features gunga dins live show staples such as, taking forever between songs, playing too many songs, and playing songs badly. this was the night we started the show wearing gas masks and had to take them off within seconds because you couldnt breathe with them on. oh to be young again!

I find it fun to present the audio, then fill in the pictures from various memories.
