Edinburgh Man #102 Redux

December 5th, 2013

Don’t you just love This American Life? But don’t you just hate it when it turns out to be a repeat from 18 months ago? Guess what – this week the Edinburgh Man Podcast is a repeat from 18 months ago.

Edinburgh Man Junior has been really ill for the last couple of days, hence no podcast has been prepared, and he’ll more than likely wake up during the normal recording time. So instead here’s one a made earlier. Really earlier.

I remember enjoying this show loads. I mean, I enjoyed making it. I never really listen back to them, so it could be awful. One thing I do remember is that I embarrassingly mispronounced the By Toutatis track. Sigh.

Taking a break from the never-ending washing of beer bottles to record tonight’s podcast. I knew there was a reason I stopped making beer. Bottles, bottles and more bottles. It seemed like such I good idea when I started making this American-style “holiday” beer for Christmas. It’s not the boiling of sticky liquids, or syphoning beer from bucket to bucket that’s a pain. But washing 40 pint bottles, many of which have been languishing (unrinsed) in the shed for a number of years. Yuck.

Anyway, on today’s podcast a track from the brilliant new single by Edinburgh’s Book Group – out this week on Gerry Loves Records. Some ten second long grindcore from California’s Puig Destroyer, and a new track from North Carolina’s Petey, who recently featured on a split cassette on Bleeding Gold Records.

More pre-recorded shenanigans from Edinburgh Man this week. It’s been a pretty busy week in terms of gigs for a change. Tuesday was Low, tonight it’s Euros Childs, and Friday it MAY be Shellac… If I have any energy left.

So because of all this giggage (which to be honest would have been par for the course back when this podcast first started) I thought I’d do a ‘live music’ podcast. It also may have a tiny amount to do with the fact that I didn’t have any podcast preparation time as a result of the aforementioned gigs.

Anyway, all the tracks on tonights show can be downloaded for free from the Live Music Archive. Not just the tracks. The whole gigs from which they come. Exciting.

1. The Decemberists – “16 Military Wives (Live)” (Played courtesy of The Decemberists / Archive.org)
2. Fugazi – “Waiting Room (Live)” (Played courtesy of Fugazi / Archive.org)
3. Kristin Hersh – “Betty and her priest” (Played courtesy of Kristin Hersh / Archive.org)
4. Kristin Hersh – “Your Dirty Answer (Live)” (Played courtesy of Kristin Hersh / Archive.org)

Yet another exciting and professional pre-recorded podcast. With tonight’s guest microphone stand: Michael Barrier’s “Hollywood Cartoons: American Animation in Its Golden Age”.

After last week’s rather rambling live podcast, I’ve decided to go back to making notes before doing the show. Notes! In any event the notes are somewhat secondary, and instead we end up with meandering stories about vomiting children.

It’s also a non-live live podcast. I’m trying out some new tech and despite the fact I’m out working tonight, there’s a possibility that it may have been broadcast ‘live’. I wonder if anyone listened… and I wonder if anyone thought I was ignoring them on twitter…

1. The Planes – “Rain Falls On Greenpoint” (Played courtesy of The Planes)
2. deathbythecolt – “bring back 80′s speed metal” (Played courtesy of deathbythecolt, Released under a Creative Commons licence)
