Pediconochromatic 22 “A blar brr brah bur”

Derek — Fri, 18 May 2012 13:54:48 +0000

I’m at work. You should be grateful there’s any kind of podcast at all. It’s b een a while since there’s been a pediconochromatic so here is one recorded on my mobile phone rather than the dictaphone because Duncan forgot it. But then being as he’s become a dad again recently, that’s forgivable. Anyway here’s the podcast…

Pediconochromatic #21 – “Mental Indigestion”

Duncan — Sat, 07 Apr 2012 19:17:00 +0000

What Derek doesn’t realize is that we don’t actually speak English – to us it sounds like a tongue shared by our listeners, but we actually speak like “Yip Yip ack ACK yip”. So in addition to converting the files and mixing them, I have to run the audio through a translation program with human speech synthesis. Since there’s no “posh Doncaster” accent freely available, I had to write this software myself – and rewrite it every time because for some reason our non-euclidian alien tongue corrupts the program as it is fed through. Not only that, for some piddling reason, I can’t use a high-level programming language. I have to write it in binary machine code using a microscopic magnet to directly flip the bits on my hard drive plates.

Anyway, we talk about The Hunger Games fresh from the screen, but we ramble on a bit too long. Fortunately a cartoon monkey saves the day.

Iconochromatic Series 4 Episode 7 – Christielised

Derek — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 09:32:59 +0000

Duncan thinks he’s got it hard? I have to set up my studio for recording, check levels and that everything is switched on, create a running order, get special guests involved and then record it. After which I export it to a wav, edit it slightly in ableton, create a mock radio 5 live podcast intro, convert to mp3, create a cover image THEN upload to the website and write all this gumpf.

Anyway this time we talk about:

The Beaver

Vidal Sassoon the Movie

Hogfather. AGAIN.

Watchmen/Alan Moore

Hunger Games (but this should have been after the pediconochromatic about it)

21 Jump Street

We are joined by special guest Wyl Christie. That’s it. Now go and listen.

Pediconochromatic #20 – “For some other definition of ‘eternity’”

Duncan — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 20:26:17 +0000

So first I have to press record on the voice recorder, then we have to waffle for 15 minutes, then I have to connect it to my computer, then I have to transfer the files over, then I have to convert them from WMA to WAV, then I have to splice the files together in Audacity, then I have to export it as an MP3, then I have to log into Derek’s hosting service and create a new sub-domain for it and wait for it to appear, then I have to upload the MP3 via FTP, then I have to write this balony and link the file.

Folks, there’s a lot of hard work required to be this crap.

Anyway, reviews of The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret and Hard Candy.

Iconochromatic Series 4 episode 6 – The Wrong Stuff

Derek — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 22:21:05 +0000

In this episode of 65,000,000 words we talk about many things, fools and kings but discover the greatest thing you’ll ever learn won’t be learned on Iconochromatic. As such though we discuss the following:

John Carter

The Raven

War Inc.

Wings

It (1927)

Beyond Reanimator

Contrab(“r” – Simon Mayo)and

Harvet Moon Bazaar (or something)

Jewel Quest Masters

Don’t expect to be properly enlightened about them afterwards. There’s also music from Toyah.

That’s it. Nothing more.

Pediconochromatic 19 – “Your ship looks like a disco”

Duncan — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 14:12:47 +0000

We are praiseworthy of Take Shelter and we ponder the physics behind Captain Forever.
