Sit back, relax, and chill out with Leisure Cassette System. Featuring 500 songs for over 25 hours of music, this set was created to be background music for Onsug Radio, but it can be used far beyond that. Just set it on shuffle and feel your troubles slipping away with the late night groove. Produced on a MadPlayer with software version P1.29.06, on the Cool Mix setting, by Tree Bag Ask (aka Frank Edward Nora). Mastered in Reason, with songs named in semi-random fashion using Oren Tirosh’s mnemonic word list. See also Frank’s previous similar projects, Midnight Cassette System (2010), New Midnight Cassette System (2012), and 500 Song Trip (2012). Released 7/20/23.
26:58 – Join me for the fourth episode of my podcast wherein I talk about, among other things, children’s television, static websites, grammar, and all things coffee. Unlike in the last episode, I am not drinking a cup of tea during recording, although in hindsight perhaps I should have prepared a cup (or even a cup of coffee, given I recorded this episode in the morning).

To celebrate his father’s life, Frank has collected all of the interviews he did with him on his podcast, The Overnightscape. Starting in 2005, FRN started telling stories from his days in the Navy, in Liberia in the early 1960s. After that he explored a multitude of topics, including trips, experiences working as a civil engineer in New Jersey, eccentric people he has met, and much more. Also included are several older recordings (1969-1986) featuring FRN.
