50:40 – Welcome to Tape Land! On each episode, I will be presenting the audio of a cassette tape from my collection. It’s a way to help motivate me to digitize more of my archives.

I used to do “audio mining” in NYC – carrying a tape recorder at all times in order to capture interesting audio, for use on my Internet radio project at the time, Bluffcosm.com. This tape is an example of “audio mining”, along with me talking about stuff.

Notes: (3/6/02), Tape recorders, audio project ideas, ferry boat incident, weird beggar in subway, World Trade Center, J&R Computer World, elevator, another beggar, siren, Towers of Light Memorial, on the ferry boat, Hoboken, signal problems, scary PATH train ride, (3/14/02), war dream, Obliviana Wander Radio idea, elevator.

15:36 – Welcome to Tape Land! On each episode, I will be presenting the audio of a cassette tape from my collection. It’s a way to help motivate me to digitize more of my archives.

Today’s tape is the raw audio of a recording session for my audio comedy series Beublin A. Richardson – for the last episode – Episode 25, “All My Helicopters”.

Original description: “Beublin A. Richardson gets thrown in jail and meets his old friend Horace Doom and ice-cream-store-bomber Gene Bossel.”

It was recorded on May 12, 2001, at Video Game Connections, at a strip mall in Howell, NJ. There’s a faint clicking sound in the background – there was something wrong with the Sony Walkman recorder.

In the final version, I applied an audio filter to make it sound like they were indoors. Here, you can hear the original sound of the recording.

Cast: Peter Litkey as Beublin A. Richardson, Frank Edward Nora as Horace Doom, Jay as Gene Bossel, Dustin as jailor.
