BFM Podcast 38.5 – I’m Punk Rock…
This is the final music podcast of our weeklong podcast series. This time, Tony plays a bunch of awesome punk songs and ends the episode, and our week of shows with an incredibly epic song. I know that word gets tossed around a lot these days, but I really mean it. Also bonus points if you get what the title is referencing. The banner should help you.

BFM Podcast 37.5 – I Am Sitting In a Room
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!
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.

BFM Podcast 36 – Inside E3 2010
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!
***DISCLAIMER***
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
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.
