The Overnightscape Underground

Sneaky TT Broadcasting System is updated with a new format, and it’s better than ever!

Now it’s playing a random playlist of Other Side songs and clips, each under 5 minutes – so you never know what’s coming next.

I have also added new player links to the page.

Turn it on and listen all night long!

3:59:10 – 104 random tracks from the Other Side, each under 4 minutes in length, with some mastering applied. I was able to do this fairly easily because I’ve been spending a lot of time keeping the Other Side tracks organized.

The result is a cool four hour broadcast that, to me, would be an ideal companion to a long night of working or driving or playing games.

Macho Condor was an experimental predecessor to the Other Side, so I thought it would be cool to bring back the name for this little experiment.

1:09:53 – In the conclusion to the Sounds Trilogy, I flip through the channels of my cable TV. There are so many channels, it takes almost 70 minutes. It’s a historical record for TV researchers of the future, and a fun, yet bleak, listen today.

45:11 – Byron talks all things old school, takes the show on the road, & meets up with a couple surprise guests in “Vintage Lunchbox Roadshow Meetup!”

“Vintage Lunchbox-Roadshow-Meetup”

What happens when Byron starts off this episode wandering around a Chicago neighborhood on his lunch break from work rambling about items of nostalgic value from his past, but then changes gears & takes the show on the road South (& meeting up with a surprise couple of guests along the way)?

Some extra hints about this episode may be found in a few alternate titles Byron originally had: Escape From Goose Island, Are We There Yet?, Byron Can’t Drive 70, The Tampler, When (Podcast) Worlds Collide, Punk Rock Beach Wedding Invasion, Random Canadians & Internet People Are Cool!

So join Byron, along with his family & band, on this rollicking adventure which treks from the streets of Chicago to the deep South and back (& featuring some great soundtrack music which includesCurmudgeon, The Gunk U.K. & Byron’s surprise guest as well)! What more could possibly be packed in one episode outing?

Also, please share the love and listen to some of our favorite podcasts at: Static Radio, Special Delivery, Onsug, Insignificast, For Whatever Reason, & Letter Seventeen!

1:02:21 – I had the idea of selecting 29 tracks from the Onsug Archive at random, and then randomly choosing a 2 minute and 9 second section of each, and presenting them in a random order. This is the result.
