Been meaning to update people to the fact that I did another radio interview. Like the BBC one I did (and still need to somehow get into digital 101010110100101000.. format from cassette) this interview was only broadcast locally but still I’m sure there were a couple (dozen) ears tuned in between the hours of 8:30 to 9:30pm on Bellows Falls Community Radiostation; Wool.fm. This interview I am almost certainly going to be able to obtain a straight digital copy of to share it with all.
The interview went well and it was a jolly fun hour of waffling, who doesn’t want to talk about themselves to an interested audience eh?
Unlike the BBC interview, the show was done live and on the spot as opposed to when the BBC chap came with a recorder and mic to ask me some questions and then took away a CD of my music to intersplice with a monologue of yours truely, totally only 4 minutes. This time I got a full hour to myself and was able to play whole songs all the way through.
I was interviewed by a ‘Maya Costley’ who I had met previously at one of the Drum Jams (will have to talk about those sometime too). She had an air of youth about her, I was surprised to find out later she had and raised kids as usually she hides an amiable and pretty face under funky large skullcaps or various other headgear, I had assumed she was quite young but today I was able to spot the odd strand of white hair. She’s very nice.
Maya works at the Community radio station and was starting to pursue more local music acts for the show and thought I would make an interesting subject to drill.
Drill me she did, we got to talk about all manner of things from growing up in England and getting a ‘British Education’ to how I come to be sat in the chair talking about my lifes aspirations. I think it best to let the interview speak for itself when I upload a copy asap.
After the interview I showed maya how to use some computer software to edit audio material as she needed help with a previous interview project of hers, in fact the Bellows Falls Studio has this impressive audio workstation which apparently know one uses any more(!). It was just sat there, a whole mini studio begging (me) to be fondled and used for bloodthirst creative audio endeavours. I was told I was welcome to use it anytime and even invited to have my own radio show! I guess the interview went better than I thought! I am tempted of course but don’t know how long I will be in the area for..
“Not to worry” says they,
“Record some shows for us on the road!”.
You know what? That’s a jolly good idea. So watch this space for ‘Myles’ travelling radioshow’. Just need to obtain a microphone and audio interface for the laptop.. Mmmm.
Alas the rest of the week was quite boring, a lot of paperwork related infiltrations of local post offices and banks to sort out other things that needed erm.. sorting out.
Also had some really warm days where I just was lazy… aah bliss.
Oh yar wrote some new tunes too, if you’re all good boys and girls I may share with you a sneak preview..
Now to edit the timestamp of the post to make it look like I am keeping on top of my blog… (oops).
ah editing of timestamps, I used to do that, then I became jaded and lazy and now I normally just post random excerpts of my thoughts. Damn you internet for melting my young brain!
Can’t wait to have myles-goodness streaming out of my stereo!
You know Samson and Rode both make USB microphones? could be just the job.
