Check out this great episode of Republic of Avalon Radio, from Newfoundland, Canada with Jim Fidler…

This Time on the ROAR:

Jim talks about his love for and history in radio. He looks back from his first transister radio, as a very wee lad, up until the present. He also shows ham radio in action as well as taking you for a spin through the 41 meter shortwave band and the AM broadcast band. He also mentions the alternative search engine, startpage.com, the internet archive site at archive.org and gives a tip of the hat to his friend and fellow ?caster, Frank Nora at onsug.com.

Big thanks to Bill and Zac of the Random Access Thought, a regular part of This week in Amateur Radio, for their new ROAR station ID. Brilliant stuff! Mother Radio on the ROAR! Who’d a’thunk it?

If you’re interested in radio, ham radio most specifically, tune into this one!

Music this time:

Our intro and extro music by Jim Fidler.

Best listened to on headphones. - “Radio gaga?” Well, perhaps a wee bit…

A song by BlueTom, Luke Stephensen, Dan (TubeDreamer), Jerry Collins (GTRman4040) & Gavin (jamerson), released 12/23/06 on MyVirtualBand.com

MyVirtualBand.com was a website that began in late 2004 and closed in early 2007. On the site, musicians collaborated to create songs by uploading and downloading audio tracks. All the audio tracks on the site were released under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 license, which means that you can do pretty much what you want with the audio as long as you give credit to those who created it. There were 113 “featured songs” on the site, and a much greater number of songs “in progress”. Even though the site has shut down, the music from the site is still under the same license – which allows the songs to be re-released here in The Overnightscape Underground!

Lyrics: I’m going to head out, on this lonely road and leave my woes in the dust. / I’m gonna get out, on the lonely road, leave my troubles and the fuss / All the heartache, I’ll leave it all behind. // I’m going to start out on this life again, leave my failures in the past. / I’m going to stand up with some confidence, this time it will last.
All the places, to start this life again, / I’m going to start out on this life again, leave my failures in the past. // Well I’m moving right along in life. / I’m moving right along in life. // Well I’m moving right along in life. / I’m moving right along in life.

Merry Christmas!! This audio is from a cassette tape purchased at a flea market in New Jersey around 2001. It was labeled “XMAS 1973″ on one side, and “MIKE” on the other side. This is the complete audio that was on the cassette.

This piece was originally intended for release on my old Internet radio station, Bluffcosm.com, in November 2001, though at that time, Bluffcosm was kind of in “hibernation”, and it was not released. I evenutally released it on Daily Podcast From Another Place exactly 4 years ago, on 12/25/04. This current release has better audio quality than that release.

This feature was recorded way back at the beginning of The Overnightscape – between episodes 4 and 5, in fact. Yet for some reason, it has taken me nearly 6 years to release it!

This is the full audio (commercials and all) of a broadcast of “Channel 7’s Late Movie” taped off TV circa July 1994 in New Jersey. The movie is “Leo and Loree” from 1980, starring Donny Most (best known as Ralph Malph of Happy Days). As far as I can tell, this movie has never been made available on home video. They should release it on DVD – it is a great movie.

I think this is a very interesting cultural artifact. If you fell asleep in front of your TV back in the 90s, this is the kind of audio your subconscious mind would be hearing… and maybe even incorporating into your dreams…

Notes from the original release on Station Unlimited on June 22, 2007:

“The Motor Excursion Ruffians”, starring me (Frank Edward Nora) and Peter Litkey, began as a successor to our previous show, “Train Crap & Blood”. The idea is that we have so much freedom that we never use… you can just get in a car and drive and who knows where you’ll wind up!

Episode 1 of “The Motor Excursion Ruffians” was recorded on February 11, 2001, in western New Jersey and released on my old Internet radio station, Bluffcosm.com. Episode 2 was recorded on April 4-5, 2003 (between The Overnightscape #4 and #5), on a visit down to see our friend Bryan in Virginia. Over 8 hours of material was recorded – but it was never released. I plan on releasing both of these here on Station Unlimited in the near future.

This past Saturday, June 16, 2007, I got together with Pete and we went on a “motor excursion” without thinking of “The Motor Excursion Ruffians” – in fact, I didn’t even know if I was going to record at all. But I started recording some stuff, and later in the day we both realized we were doing a new episode of “The Motor Excursion Ruffians”!

Here is a description of the recording…

After waking up at 4:30 AM and waiting 5.5 hours for White Stripes tickets, I was about to go to sleep when Peter called me… we decided to get together and go on a trip, featuring a torrential Thunderstorm and hail, roof parking of The Fashion Center mall in Paramus, NJ, coffee from Blimpie, weird spiral staircase, old school architecture, heading north on Route 17, Woodbury Common Premium Outlets in Central Valley, NY, super heavy pottery, free drinks and CDs, finding the food court, Le Gourmet Chef, Pretzel Time, the cosmic lemonade balance, Pete chooses an item from the Protocol Personal Products Convenience Center in the men’s room, candy review (”Ora Labs XStreme Sour Drops – Strawberry”), Folz, Pringles vending machines, finding the exit, Le Creuset, Lladro, dust collectors, Route 6 – cool road, Bear Mountain State Park, free parking, merry go round closed, tranquil feeling, ice cream vending machine, a walk around Hessian Lake, forbidden rock climbing, vending machine deaths, vehicle, out of breath, living a screensaver, exercise, a methaphor for life, cigar, chipmunk, Canadian geese hissing, the goose fight question, the judgement of the ice cream deception, flags, “It’s a Mistake” by Men At Work, Pallisades Parkway, Fort Lee, Mitsuwa Marketplace (”The Japanese Mall”), Hungary and Hungarian stuff, food court, food samples, Auto Freak, hoji tea coming out of the wall, packets of unknown material, Pete tries some natto, A Bathing Ape, Pocari Sweat, exploring the supermarket, Creap, Re-Ment, miniature cleaning supplies, Frank spends all his money, miso choice, deer joke, soothing music
