Hissing Under the Floorboards: Transmission 339, 2017 April 26

Back to regularly-scheduled content come we. Here is a "full-featured program" with both Physical Evidence and a Listening Parlour entry, because it is what I like to imagine you are here for. (I like to imagine many things.) ((I routinely find it difficult to avoid saying "full-figured program," which, in a way, all of my programs are.)) True to form, it...perhaps could have gone better than it did.

Eventually I settle into a groove, but it takes a while to get there. I am quite fond of Prophette, tonight's special record (and of Afriqua generally), but on listening (and re-listening) it's awfully...dynamic (or maybe just quiet?). Audio purist that I am (or that I fancy myself), I never thought I'd find myself arguing for more compression, but "life comes at you fast," as the kids say. Try this program out for yourself--and then buy the Afriqua record so you can listen to it outside of anyone else's context.

Elsewhere I upset Lady Catharsis with some of my commentary--this takes me back to the "halcyon" days of the late 1980s, when I used to do this with other friends, some of whom seem not to have stuck around. Thank goodness LC has build up a tolerance. I really need to stop doing the things I used to do when I was 18 or 19. They were dumb then and dumber now.
