[Imc-london-audio] today's IndyMedia London Newswire show: post-hoc

[Douglas Carnall]

Hi,

Did anyone actually manage to catch the show live? I minidisked it but
digital crapout this end makes forwarding the audio to the net
problematic. I hoped to do it in Logic on the Mac with no fuss, but the
Mac crapped out on me. Software problem with no immediate obvious
solution. Also I managed to trash another minidisk (Ian did a few songs)
which had some nice live stuff. That's two that need recovery in the
near future. (The last was the audio from WhatTheHack, still shamefully
unshared). 

I'm pissed off it didn't work nice and I'm thinking of getting a PC
laptop. Paul from pimusic suggests off the shelf Dell. Any comments
anyone here got also welcome. (Remember I want to carry anything I use
on the bike most of the time).

Anyway, nice chat after the show with Chris and then Richard who
fulsomely insisted the collective should see the break in the summer
schedule as a summer holiday and return full of energy in the autumn,
maybe weeks commencing 25 September/2 October. So that's OK. Richard's
been reading the list so he knows what's going on with us. We need to
think about the character of the slot we return to early (?length/time/day[s])

I expressed Pennie's desire to learn to the drive the desk, and Al
suggested that the best way to learn was simply to shadow a duty
engineer over a couple of shifts.

Having made Ben shout at us by talking loudly in the office while the
studio door at the top of the stairs were open I departed and had coffee
and ciabatta with the Italians in Lambs Conduit Street, which was a nice
break. My town bike is finally going to have its flexible noodle fitted
this Friday apparently. I have promised them beer.

Two more shows to go, then July off. Sophie's keen to do something about
the history of IndyMedia in Seattle (she's there with her family for 2
weeks at the moment), with interviews of local activists who were "there
in '99" and we should find some archive footage and contemporary music
to mix with her new stuff. That'll be a nice 1 hour clear spot for
starters and good experience for her, indeed all of us. We should aim to
play this on a clear spot sometime in August.

Love and respect to all,

D.
