3:58:08 – Take a deep dive into The Overnightscape Underground (Onsug) Archive…

Onsug is a massive collection of audio – currently over 6,400 tracks, totaling over 263 days (over 8.5 months) of audio. But what’s in the archive? What does it sound like?

I chopped each audio track into 5-minute clips, resulting in over 75,000 of these segments. By playing them in random order, we can deeply explore what’s inside the archive, to get an idea of what it contains.

The Night Pool is just like drifting though all these random thoughts and ideas, soundscapes and songs, conversations and rants… no hosting, no context… just a pleasant swim though the humble weirdness of Onsug…

This is the final episode of “season 1” of The Night Pool. Let me know if you’d be interested in hearing more.

Download a PDF of Onsug Guide – May 2015

Onsug Guide will soon be available as a physical, print-on-demand book. I released this pre-release version to go along with the May 2015 archive update.

The goal of Onsug Guide is to provide listeners with a starting point and checklist that will help guide them in listening to Onsug.

If you open the PDF in Acrobat Reader, you see it in spreads, which will look more like reading a real book.

This version is nearly complete – the main part I need to finish is the host bio section. And there are lots of typos which I need to correct.

I welcome any comments you may have…

37:59 – We are back with our long awaited 1st show of 2015! This time Byron starts off on the streets of Chicago going on a bit of a rant on the current era of technology, but then does a 180 & takes a surprise road journey South (& for the 2nd time in the history of the podcast). He just can’t shake the overarching technology theme here as it seems to take on a mind of it’s own & follow him all the while! As you can expect, Byron kept his recorder rolling for the whole adventure which is presented here for your audio pleasure.

Also listen for another rocking soundtrack featuring a Curmudgeon classic & a new Gunk U.K. tune which Byron debuts in a special exclusive in-studio performance (a hint that you should stick around to the very end of this one)! What more can you ask for in a show? Cheers!

Note: As promised in this episode, I am including this link (http://yedies.blogspot.com/2013/11/the-mouse-goes-rfid.html)  for some further interesting info on something we encountered on our journey… which also should further your own technology creeps! Thanks again for tuning in!
