6/25/2009 Thursday Night Feature: Anime Themes!

Full speed through the stingy night!
I'm not interested in treasure anyway
A romance in the pocket, and
You wanna be my friend?
We are, we are on the cruise! We are!

-First opening song to One Piece


It's pop music, eastern philosophy, sci-fi, and lyrics that probably didn't make sense even before they were translated. It's anime theme music--nothing else comes close and WXYC is the station to give it its just moment in the sun! This Thursday at 9pm prepare for 3 hours of the highest energy jams to get fan subbed and leaked all on the internet.

Teamwork

The Feedback Farmers asked me to post this photo to the blog. I'm not sure why.

They also wanted me to tell you to tune in to WXYC on Wednesday, May 20th at 9pm WXYC time. 89.3FM in the Chapel Hill area or wxyc.org!

Digging up Carts Pt. 2

And we're back... this time I've got 2 more gems from "Into the Ground". First off, the :45 second intro bite for the show circa 1992-93. Second, a cart tape that was simply labeled Monster Battle. I'm not sure what it was used for, but it features some great tape work.

Digging Up Carts Pt. 1

Now that finals are over and I have some time to kill, I'd like to share with you all some old school WXYC audio goodness fresh from the carts.

This first installment comes from an old show (not that old, I'm sure some of you still remember it) called "Into The Ground". I'll be posting a lot more recordings from this classic 'xyc "talk" show, but for now, enjoy these!

Feedback Ranch

Last Wednesday there was a showdown at the Double-U (XYC) Corral. The Feedback Ranchers (nee Farmers) took a journey on horseback through the dusty plains, arid deserts, and precipitous mountains of the American West. Exploring the music, films, characters, and tropes of a time gone by, the Ranchers produced a fitting homage to a period that continues to pique our imaginations.

They Sold The Farm

The Feedback Farmers sell out! OK, probably not news to anyone who's been paying attention, but they made it official on the last programme.

Poor Steph traveled all the way to Austin, Texas, to attend the South by Southwest music festival (aka "South By"), and while there she conducted interviews and prepared a special report for WXYC. But when she tried to broadcast her recordings, the boys thwarted her at every opportunity.

Apparently, while Steph was out of town, her testosterone-fueled fellow Farmers were lining up advertisers to pad their pockets, and the show was continually interrupted by commercials. Commercials are annoying in their own right, but beyond that you had to feel bad for Steph whose hard work didn't receive the respect it deserved.

Why she puts up with them is another mystery not to be solved.

If, for some strange reason, you actually want to listen to this advertisement-laden episode (perhaps you're in the market for...everything?), you can download it here (27MB MP3).

Starstruck

I was hoping to get this posted last night, but who could have predicted that the Syracuse vs UConn game would go into SIX overtime periods? And, after that wrapped up, who could have predicted that the building across the street from me would catch on fire, both further distracting me from blogging and keeping me up into the wee hours?

Well, probably a person who's into astrology could have predicted it, that's who! Since I'm not such a person, I defer to the Feedback Farmers to expound on the topic.

Which they did in stellar fashion on Wednesday night. Steph explained what astrology is all about and successfully volleyed the naysaying of Andrew B, PJ, and Kevin. (Andy K and Bryson couldn't be bothered to show up.) Local opinions on the topic were mixed, though most people seemed to think astrology is more fun diversion than science.
