"Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread..." I must object to this blatant slur against thread. It's really not based in any scientific study as to the intellectual capacities of thread... and don't start me about cork - cork must be the worst of the lot of 'em with all that Beami...

Hi,

I just upgaded my account with podbean.com, so the sound files should be accessible from now on.

Hi Kmag, Podbean tell me that I need to upgrade my account (i.e. give them dough) cos I've exceeded my bandwidth allocation (to do with how many people hit/download the sound clips?) They've limited the account til I cough up. I'm stuck in a hotel in Luton airport, so I won't get to it for a day or ...

Hi,

Thanks for checking it out.

I plan to update the page with a new tune most days if I'm able, so keep checking in for new stuff.

Hey, I EQ-ed the tracks and reloaded them up there, might be more listenable... or less damaging at least (I didn't want any passive deafness claims hittin me down the line. )

The little EQ feature on Audacity is actually great to use.

Hi Kevin, It's actually the 'microphone' on a skype headset. What can I say... the low tech and cheap-but-not-too-cheerful thing appeals to me in these recessionary times, and generally! :cry: I think there's a filter in Audacity that can make it less 'water tower-ish', I'll check it out next go.
