As my provider doesn't allow real audio service on-line, I've put real audio sounds off-line on my pages. People download the file and listen to it on his computer locally and when he wants, even off-line. The price for the real-audio player is free, and the encoder too. I choose real audio because of the price, and the compression. You can choose 28K but it's quite distorded. I chose a T1 compression level. This is a good balance between sound quality and file size. As you listen to it locally, the compression method affect only the quality and not the speed. For interviews, 28K compression is OK. What i like when i get sound files on the Internet is having an idea of the styles, the sound and compos. I don't need the whole sound quality. - -- Didier GEORGIEFF -/- mailto:dgieff@mail.sdv.fr -/- Strasbourg, France ======================================================================= "DIVINE RITES" : Radio Birdman, New Christs, Rob Younger, Deniz Tek & more...

Maybe it's just here in the Northeast, but if you hang out at the left-hand side of the dial, you can find plenty of interesting public/college-radio stations. And as one of the local dj's says "It's not just for stripey-shirt boys and barrette girls" either. I may not always hear things I like, but I do hear lots of music that the commercial stations will never play: blues, exotica, indy rock (yeah, I know), old-time radio, obscure jazz, etc etc. As a matter of fact, if you're ever in Maine, tune into Maine Public radio (about 4-5 different stations) on Monday nights at 11:00 PM for an unusual take on oldies radio. He (forget the djs name) plays only new entries to the Billboard Hot 100 from 25 and thirty years ago. Talk about obscure; and what an odd variety of music. You are certainly right about commercial radio, though, and I have yet to find any shows devoted to the '60s garage/psyche stuff that I like. >why would you want to listen to someone else's stinky station on your computer?< I was thinking more along the lines of how the Web works.

I was generalizing, and referring more to the commercial side of the dial; this is also what I had in mind when I wrote > >why would you want to listen to someone else's stinky station on your > computer?< You're right about the artist sites and fan narrow-casting, etc. Many of these already have digitized sound clips, and as the technology improves and prices fall it will eventually be possible for fans to conduct their own "webcasts." (I'm already preparing for the "All-Upper Crust (and bands the guys in the Upper Crust were in before the Upper Crust)" station. Gotta come up with a catchier title, though!) > Did someone say cable modems? About 10x the speed of a T1 is what I > heard. And wouldn't that also imply FM quality sound, or better? Some > towns near me have it now, but it is pricey (like most new > technology). I'm dying for a cable modem myself, but they're not available in my area or most others. In some cases, cable systems will have to re-wire their systems before they can be deployed. Most cable operators don't sense enough of a demand for cable modems to justify the infrastructure changes they'd have to make. Fortunately, some operators are starting to rebuild their systems anyway to allow for increased channels and/or digital video, and cable modems will benefit from this as well. Still, it's a slow process. Evan - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Evan Davies "Look out honey, 'cause I'm using technology" - I.

Though I'm not a big radio kinda guy, a friend of mine likes to make tapes of WZBC, 90.3 in Boston and while riding around in his car I've heard quite a bit of dunt 'n fuzz psyche he'd taped off that station. Most of it was in a Hawkwind/Silver Apples vein (they even played "Nazi Apocalypse" by Simply Saucer - YESSSS!) but there is a fair amount of Pebbles style, late to mid 60's rawkus too. And speaking of which, I once grilled a DJ at that station about a band called "the Makki Makmen" or something (I know I spelled that wrong) and have since lost the info. I believe they put out two albums, may or may not be American and played real rippin 60's shit w/ Hendrix-vs.-Yardbirds stylings (if I remember right, it's all hazy now). Does this sound familiar to anyone?

I concur, except that the funness of it is somewhat lost on me, having been around for the initial 50,000 playings of these dipshitty songs. But it's not just that I was 17 and not 12 at the time - there was plenty of "pre-bubblegum" drivel, too, like The Cyrkle's "Red Rubber Ball" & Simon & Garfunkel's "59th St. Bridge Song".

YEEEHAWWW! I've been thinking of putting together a bubblegum band too! I am dying to sing "Sweeter Than Sugar". Lola, don't fret. With me, it's a case of "those who don't remember the past are condemned to repeat it." The Archies and 1910 Fruitgum Co. are probably to you what, say, the New Kids On the Block are to me. (Although NKOTB were thankfully after my time!) Wonder if NKOTB will ever have "cult status"? I can't even remember any of their songs! I think our bubblegum is probably Tiffany and Debbie Gibson.

Remember when mining music from the past not to >overlook the obvious places (Stones, Beatles, Kinks, Monkees, Five Americans, >Easybeats, etc.) while trying to dig out the most obscure nuggets (or pebbles >or boulders or rubble). A very good point. When investigating the US 60s garage scene it is *essential* to listen to the British Invasion bands that influenced the groups on Garage Punk compilations. In other words the DC5, Animals, Yardbirds, Stones, Pretty Things, Them etc. How many pictures of suburban US bands are complete rip-offs of DC5 album covers. For instance look at the of the shots Basement Wall on the Cicadelic reissue. I have a very good friend who was recently bowled over by the Joe Meek phenomenon. This guy will relay countless tales about David Johns & The Mood, the Buzz, Screaming Lord Sutch, Crawdaddys and other Meek bands. However quiz him about classic (ie top thirty) cuts from the period and a glazed expression suddenly appears. It's really a little strange for someone to rave about 'Crawdaddy Simone' but have little conception of the magnificence of 'Over Under Sideways Down' or 'Mystic Eyes'. As you Americans say... GO FIGURE! By the way the same chap found a copy of 'Gloria' by the Wheels for 10p in a bargain bin a couple of years ago. Many facts about the bands collectability and the records price tag were mentioned before the disc was cleaned up and sold for a nice sum. Some folks take on music and record collecting is very puzzling to me sometimes. How I wish they would spend their money on half a dozen great compilations than on one single by an obscure UK Freakbeat band. You simply limit your exposure to great music otherwise.
