A few announcements regarding the Retrospace Podcast....
First, it is now to be called Retrospace Radio. It has annoyed me immensely over the past year or so that this isn't technically a proper podcast. I don't ever talk - it's just music with various clips thrown in. When I initially started these posts, I had every intention of recording myself - I even bought a mike. That dream was short lived. Let's just say, Johnny Fever I am not. I sounded like Bob Ross on quaaludes. It was awful and I've been sticking to the music ever since... but the title remained "podcast" until today.
Also, I am changing the format of these podcasts (now radio episodes). In the past, they have been a beautiful tapestry of nostalgia - an admixture of commercials, movie clips, songs, TV themes, etc. Needless to say, they took forever to make. I could write ten posts in the time it took me to make a single podcast. So, I am primarily sticking to just music, without a whole lot of bells and whistles. This sucks, but on the upside I can now deliver podcasts much more frequently... and they'll be longer. This one is thirty minutes.
And lastly, each episode will have a theme. For instance, there will be episodes with songs only about drugs, TV theme episodes, porn soundtrack episodes, etc. You get the picture. To start with, we'll go with something simple - "instrumentals". Enjoy.

ReplyDeleteAnd you got a problem with Bob Ross on Quaaludes?
I'm saddened. I'll miss all the weird little clips thrown in. But whoa, VH's SAitP on the same mix as Meco's Star Wars. That's gold right there.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the feed so I can download it to my iPhone? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteGreat question, Davidaq! I will add a subscription link to these posts from here on out.

Boogie on Pilgrim - my gnarly synth sweet tooth has been pancaked.
ReplyDeleteThanks for clearing that up. Honestly, I've never listened to your podcasts, because I didn't want to sit and listen to someone talk. Now I'll be sure to listen!
ReplyDeleteI don't have the right player to hear it...is the version of the CHiPs theme from the first season, or the discofied one used for the rest of the run?
ReplyDelete(and yes, I AM that pathetic to know there are two different ones)
Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAwesome full version of CHiPs! It was a far supeior cop show to any of the over-acted, unbelievable BS on today - thanks to it being based on actual CHP records it was at least partially rooted in reality.
