02: Feather Light Touch

When in doubt, choose wings not shoes

Delay story, short version: This episode wasn't coming together exactly like I'd wanted it to. I got discouraged. I set it aside for awhile. That "awhile" became a month.

I think I’ll release the next Nodeslam in several chunks to help cut down on the perfection paralysis. But enough of that.

I’m happy enough with this one now. The parts that don’t have my fingerprints all over ‘em are really quite good. Music-wise, [Scout Finch] came through for me in a big big way and I can’t thank her enough.

Episode 01: We Adopted You, Benjamin Koo

Well, here it is: yr genuine first-edition of Nodeslam.

Download it here or listen below.

This didn’t come out at all like I’d expected, but it also came out better than I’d hoped– thanks largely to a fantastic reading that plunked down out of the blue from Rowan Lipkovitz (a.k.a. the illustrious [Pseudo_Intellectual]).

(music:
Regaining Dignity on the Tokyo Subway by The Ink Well [w/ dann on bass], followed by a mix of Night, Campfire, Kalimba (15 Tines) / Flute Solo-1 / Tribal Dance / The Shore + Vargan Solo by SaReGaMa)

next episode…
January’s Nodeslam will be Episode 02: Nanobot Deathmatch: the Rematch… many noder-musicians enter, one podcast leaves. I’ll post an official Nodeslam Audio Challenge about it in a day or two. So if you’re a noder and you rock (or sing, program drum-machines or, hell, play the bassoon) please check back later this week! (or, of course, you could just follow @nodeslam on Twitter.)

Look out for the next episode of Nodeslam, coming January 13th 2010. Thanks for tuning in. ~RP

Episode 0 1/2: Yes I Am Helloing (part 2)

Here’s part 2 of Nodeslam’s inaugural episode, presented in honor of THE GREAT GRAND EVERYTHING2 DECAVERSARY. And furthermore: WOO!

(Download here or listen below.)

No, I don’t plan to have many future episodes that are just me talking into a headset mic, but I had a lotta splainin’ to do.

(mea culpa: yes I know, around the 6min mark I am massively oversimplifying the E2 backstory, and made a couple factual errors in the process. Yes, I really should have mentioned CmdrTaco in there somewhere. Also IIRC, E2 went live on Nov 11, not Nov 15. Please remember: Nodeslam is definitive; reality is frequently inaccurate.)

(music: Habitual Ritual / Weekend Amnesia / Accelerated Lifestyle by Revolution Void)

(also, I claim the distinction of dropping Nodeslam’s first f-bomb… phew, that was a close one. we were kid-friendly there for nearly 30 seconds or so.) (this is officially an explicit-language podcast, folks.)
