BFM Podcast 37.5 – I Am Sitting In a Room

Andrew Eidson — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 22:30:38 +0000

In this music podcast, Tony and Andrew chose to play only one song! The song is from Alvin Lucier and it is called “I Am Sitting in a Room”.

We suggest setting aside 40 minutes in a dimly lit environment to play this show. This is not really a “song”, it’s more of a musical ‘installation’ of sorts. You’ll want to be in a quiet environment so you can listen to the changes and eventual decay. It really is quite beautiful.

For those who might be against the thought of listening to the same thing over and over again, please be reminded that it doesn’t sound the same each time. (Besides, people listen to rap and techno amirite? hurr durr)

Perhaps a quote from John Cage will be of some inspiration:

If something is boring after two minutes, try it for four. If still boring, then eight. Then sixteen. Then thirty-two. Eventually one discovers that it is not boring at all.

According to wikipedia:

I am sitting in a room (1969) is one of composer Alvin Lucier’s best known works, featuring Lucier recording himself narrating a text, and then playing the recording back into the room, re-recording it. The new recording is then played back and re-recorded, and this process is repeated. Since all rooms have characteristic resonance or formant frequencies (e.g. different between a large hall and a small room), the effect is that certain frequencies are emphasized as they resonate in the room, until eventually the words become unintelligible, replaced by the pure resonant harmonies and tones of the room itself. The recited text describes this process in action—it begins “I am sitting in a room, different from the one you are in now. I am recording the sound of my speaking voice,” and the rationale, concluding, “I regard this activity not so much as a demonstration of a physical fact, but more as a way to smooth out any irregularities my speech might have,” referring to his own stuttering.

Lucier had also specified that a performance need not use his text and the performance may be recorded in any room. The composer himself has recorded the piece in at least one room he did not find aesthetically acceptable.

Also, here’s a video version of the same concept:

BFM Podcast 37 – Pop’s Cool Bro!

Andrew Eidson — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 13:30:40 +0000

Tony and I have always wondered why people hate pop music so much. In this episode, we attempt to untangle the pop web of watered-down lies and share our experiences on the subject.

We cover not only the American pop scene! We also mention Australian and European pop artists and contrast & compare the various sorts of styles. Andrew also covers the 9 different live bands he’s seen since the last time BFM discussed music.

Also, check out this episode’s featured artist youtube playlist. Lots of interesting music you might enjoy!

Andrew Eidson — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 13:30:25 +0000

So we weren’t actually inside E3 this year, but thanks to the amazing power of the information superhighway it really felt like we were there!

On today’s episode we have special guests Larry Sterling and Geoff Chorney with us to talk about gaming’s biggest event. We cover all the major players, and discuss the strongest and weakest points of the show. We also do that thing where we pick a winner!

We’ve been used a skype recorder to make this episode. That means the options available for editing random sounds out is limited. Please excuse any unwanted sounds, unless you’re into that sort of thing (pervs!)

BFM Podcast 35.5 – Summertime Blues

Tony Bowe — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 22:00:20 +0000

As you might glean from the title, this episode of BFM is dedicated to the songs that will make up your summer, hopefully, if my big wand of influence has power over you.

I play a bunch of pretty new songs to help kick off your summer. I also got some songs from upcoming albums by Big Boi, M.I.A., The Roots, Kanye West, and Arcade Fire that are hotly anticipated this summer. Think of it as a guide to the hottest new music and what you will be talking about in the next couple months or something like that. However that would be pretentious and assume that you like the same music I do. So just think of it as a bunch of random songs that some internet asshole threw together.

By the way, that banner for the episode was made entirely with MS Word ClipArt, except the . and the text.

Le Playlist:
Guitar Wolf – Summertime Blues
Intro [2:35]
Lady Gaga – Alejandro [3:11] (That start time is not a reference to that shitty band BTW)

MediaList, a playlist maker for command-line linux media players

Andrew Eidson — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 05:31:17 +0000

This playlist media kit is intended for use on Linux and Unix-like Operating systems. Its function is to take the annoying task of making a .lst out of a list of files really simple. Many command-line media players are unable to play folders of files without making a list first. Being that I am relatively lazy, I decided that the regular method require far too much typing.

With medialist, all you have to do is decompress it into your $PATH [EG: /usr/local/bin] and it’s ready to go. It requires bash and find, but chances are high you already have them.

Usage Example:

cd /mediafolder/artist/album
medialist
mplayer –playlist List.lst

If you’re using mpg123:

mpg123 -list List.lst

Supports avi, flac, m4a, mkv, mp3, mp4, ogg, ogm, ts, and vob

For purposes of this example, I am using the medialist script. All should work the same. I made the others for those who only wish to make a playlist out of a specific file format. Mplayer will skip any non-media files. If there’s a playlist file already in the folder, it will also add that to the playlist. Then again, if you already have a working playlist, I’m not sure why you’re using medialist. I’ve included nine other scripts that are exlusive to certain file extentions. If you only want to make a list of only the mp4s in your folder simply type “mp4list” to do so. There is also basic DVD support with voblist and tslist.

BFM Podcast 32.5 – Know Your BFMeme

Tony Bowe — Fri, 21 May 2010 07:26:41 +0000

Ever heard of this site called Know Your Meme? I hate that site because they think they’re like a school of internet culture, when in reality they just take things 4chan and other places come up with and make money off it (like ebaumsworld). The people that read that site are often undrerage kids and become those annoying assholes they constantly spout off stuff like “IT’S OVER 9000! BE AN HERO NEWFAG LULZ” and I hate shit like that. I don’t want that to happen with BFM, so I decided to take action and do this music episode based on bands that we joke about often on the show and get you all up to speed. Better you hear it from the source than some assholes out to make a profit on other people’s work.

So, take a listen, won’t you? You might learn a thing or two.

[Netlabel] poisondreamer – She is Zero

Andrew Eidson — Sat, 15 May 2010 21:31:56 +0000

Poisondreamer’s new album strikes like thunder today on the BFM netlabel. After years of no outside musicians on the netlabel, an artist so amazing comes along that it is worthy to be posted in our fine establishment.

Poisondreamer came from a spark when he realized noise and free improvisation is really a creative style of music. One can use anything to make music. It’s all art. Once poisondreamer realized he can loop himself drumming, or use a drum machine and add samples he gets from police sirens, to people talking to anti-drug PSA’s.

Poisondreamer is a man in his early 20s living in the state of Pennsylvania. He got his start in music when he received a drum set. He’s always been into drumming, and is also in a local indie band. However, his introduction to drumming, he says, has opened up a creativity window for him.

“I really like to focus on noise, noisecore and other experimental stuff, and I’m really influenced by old styled ragtime and jazz,” he said.

He mentions Merzbow, Sonic Youth, Atari Teenage Riot, and Navicon Torture Technologies as huge influences to his music.

Stream “Acid Drinking Water” for a taste of what the full album sounds like. If you enjoyed that, then grab the zip file to hear the other amazing tracks for free!

This week’s episode is a little on the long side. I just had so many songs I couldn’t cut down the playlist or else it wouldn’t be a complete experience!

Like the name says: it starts out slow, then builds up, then gets slow, then builds up, then…there’s some metal type stuff at the end! How crazy is that!? Not very, but you get the idea. In other words, this is a giant post-rock sandwhich and the buns for your luscious meat are obviously *not* post-rock.

Yeah. Or something.

Regardless, I’ve got a pretty strong lineup of music this time around. Mostly rock based music this time around, but this being me, I have to throw in a little variety here and there. Also, I’m featuring a set by artists I’m going to be seeing live in the next month which is really exciting. So yeah, download it. I think you’ll enjoy the musical journey.

We are just a few days away from BFMGC (aka MGC) and your humble hosts meeting each other in person for the first time. We have an exciting weekend in store with a live show and some other fun surprises. Our live show will be held in our hotel room and broadcast live on Ustream (provided everything goes ok). We’ll have myself, Andrew, and Rebelj12a from VGEvo along with some possible special guests we may drag down to make an appearance. Stay tuned to our Twitter and our Facebook for room location and Ustream details. Be sure to check back next week for recordings or whatever shenanigans go down at MGC and stay tuned to Twitter for pictures from the weekend.

As for this current episode of BFM, I’ve decided to play a bunch of new music. Now, some of it is really old in blog years, but it’s still pretty new: 6 months is the oldest song I have on here. I have a lot of hip-hop, some pop, rock, metal, ska, and an electronic song. You’ll find something you’ll like, I’m sure of it. Also, bonus points if you get what the title of the episode is from without using Google. What do you win? Respect.

One of ‘em is a Pagan band, but here in the Dirty South everything’s considered the devil if it ain’t Jesus! We start out smooth, then get into some heavier stuff, and finally top if off we have some devilish feminist glossolalia.

A little bit LTTP on this, but late is better than never. Andrew and Tony take a little bit of time to discuss and spoil Heavy Rain for you. So, if you’ve played the latest and greatest PS3 exclusive, give it a listen. If you haven’t, give it a listen anyways. It’s like playing the game, but in audio form!

BFM Podcast 29 – Kids in a Sandbox

Andrew Eidson — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 19:52:39 +0000

This episode took a long time to sit down and record. In the weeks leading up to midterms, my motivation to podcast has been weakening. Excuses aside, we have a cool show in store. This time, we complain about lists and awards shows. The oscars were recently, so we talk about how useless they are.

We promised a Heavy Rain spoilers episode, and it will come in the form of a special edition. There won’t be any more full episodes until the live show. We’ll put out some stuff, but only special episodes and some music podcasts.

BFM Podcast 28.5 – Set Repetition

Tony Bowe — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 05:29:57 +0000

Sorry about the long show this week. Not sure how it got so long, but regardless, I’ve made sure to fill it with some AWESOME music! This episode is a little different from my (Tony) other episodes in that I have a theme this time: the theme is themed sets. We have hip-hop, ska, lolicore, and Japanese noise rock, all padded by two unrelated songs as the intro/outro. Hopefully you all enjoy it!

BFM Podcast 28 – Perpetual Motion Machine MADE OF PEOPLE

Andrew Eidson — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 06:05:05 +0000

You may feel free to abbreviate this episode to all of your friends by using the P3MoP monicker. Not only does it shorten the episode title, but it will make you look KEWL. In this week’s episode, we brave the uncharted waters of unknown territories of unforeseen plights! Yeah…it’s our “OMG GOOD STUFF IS COMING SOON!” edition. We’ll talk a little bit more about what events BFM has in store this year, as well as all the upcoming junk we’re looking forward to hearing. Are you looking forward to the same stuff we are? Maybe, maybe not. Only two ways to find out! (pay a friend a handsome reward to listen and find out for you, or…. ???? mystery solution)

JUMP INTO THE FUTUUUURE

In our usual boring Agenda we discuss some new and old music. Apparently there’s a Wesley Willis podcast, and Tony is going to kick your ass in Street Fighter IV on the iPhone. I’ve also come to learn that the movie “Maniac Nurses Find Ecstasy” is more about death count than it is storytelling. Who knew!?

Anyways, are you as excited as I am?

BFM Podcast 26.5 – French People Suck

Tony Bowe — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 00:31:42 +0000

Some fun things have gone down in the past few days, so I decided to address some of that with my first set. Other than that it’s a set of brand new music (two of the songs were released in the past 24 hours) and another with some older punk stuff from the 70s. Hmm, I seem to have an affinity with newer music and 70s punk, or at least that’s what it seems like on the show. Trust me, I have more to me than just that, like J-Pop, which is what we end this week’s episode with! So, won’t you give it a download and take a harmony joy bus ride?
