we're chiller than most

As usual it's DJ Grimace. Thanks to Shana for sitting in for both George and Andrew again! The show went very well this weekend after the computer disaster that in my memory dominated the first half hour or so. The building was locked so we had to get TUPD to give us a key to get in and in the process the officer (not a cop, because he was nice) noticed that I'm on the list of approved WMFO people but not on the list for card access, so he volunteered to talk to the people in charge of that. We got up to the station and found the microphones working and we got the show going on time. I had trouble playing songs off my computer, first from the sound board, then from the computer. For a while the problem was that the volume was all the way down on my computer for some reason, then the computer decided it would only play songs when it wasn't on air. Eventually, possibly due to a Shana magic touch, it started working and everything was excellent from then on. We're still Mental and we're chiller than most.

everything falls apart and more

So DJ Crispy Morton and I (DJ Grimace) were planning on subbing for Shana and Meredith of Sandcastle Plots and Plans (the name makes no sense, I know) on friday afternoon from 1-2 and then for the guy after them from 2-4. We arrived at the station to find the transmitter, as well as the monitors off. It took about half an hour just to be sure that we were broadcasting and get the monitors running so we could hear everything that went out on the air. We managed to play the "WMFO freeform rejoins the airwaves" jaunt and a Black Eyes Song before more problems arose. I tried to play "Hate Me Now" by Mental off my laptop, but iTunes wasn't cooperating. I restarted the program and the song played, but the laptop wasn't plugged into the soundboard. Then the piece of equipment (I have no idea what it is) that the laptop plugs into wasn't on. So we turned it on and played the song (we tried and failed to play the song once for each problem I've listed here). With about 10 seconds left, the two o'clock guy showed up to do his show, and we left after only playing two songs and the "our transmitter is located atop Ballou hall" guy. It could have been fun, and actually it kind of was, but it didn't really work out. Oh well, we got to watch most of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom later. It turns out the kid who played Short Round ("this is Mr. uhm... Round" "that's Short Round") was in the Goonies and is now a successful stunt coordinator. We'll discuss this more on the air on our next show, probably on Monday March 26th if everyone is back and not too exhausted from traveling to do the show.

something in the way

Yo, it's Bobby. Yeah so a lot of shit went wrong with last weeks show. Between Andrew and I still not having card access, the microphones not working, and the cd players playing the wrong songs we had enough problems. But yeah to listen to the beginning of our show you have to actually download the podcast for the show in the timeslot before us and listen to the last half of it. I don't know how it ended up getting recorded in that spot.
