A Season In Hell #13: Theme From A Season In Hell

A Season In Hell #13: Theme From A Season In Hell

Sometimes I get nostalgic. I moved a lot in my life, an average of once every two years. I went to ten schools in thirteen years (K-12), and the one thing that was a constant was music. Music and TV. The two things that were constant were music and TV. And family. The three…three things that were constant were music, TV, family and the ever increasing amount of sarcasm that made it into my humor.

I made it down for the weekly KFJC (http://kfjc.org) staff meeting this past week, for the first time in about seven years. I’m hoping to do a show a month there. I’ll keep you posted.

With that I bring you this latest episode. If you’re a fan of nighttime police dramas, then you’ll enjoy this show.

Also, I recently saw Radio Moscow play 12 Galaxies in SF (http://www.12galaxies.com/flash.html). Check out their MySpace page, and support live music. I also have a few San Francisco artists in this show, including punk polka faves Polkacide, the Japanese yodeling cowboy Toshio Hirano, and Sesame Street cover band Cookie Mongoloid; you’ve never heard anything like them before.

A Season In Hell #12: Waiting for the Man

***Warning*** Because of the need for server space, I will be removing Episode #1 and possibly #2 by Thursday, August 2nd, 2007. You have been warned.

I spent a year in DC last week. I was there for an education conference, and I had the luxury of seeing the New York Dolls perform at the legendary 9:30 Club. The club has been open since the 70’s, but obviously in a very different location. What a great club; amazing sound and stage. The Dolls were incredible too. Only Sylvain and Johanson are alive from the original lineup, but the rest of the band seriously kicked ass. They have a new CD out, go get it.

I got to walk “The Mall”, which is the federal gov’t area. Quite impressive, even if you don’t like the schmuck who lives in the white house right now.

This week I include some early NY Dolls. I also have some live tracks from Tom Waits with the Kronos Quartet doing the theme to my favorite show: “The Wire”. If you haven’t seen this great police drama on HBO, you’re missing the best written show on TV. Some live Lou Reed shows up near the end of the podcast today. A real rarity is included in the guise of Neil Young. He never released “Chrome Dreams”, but all of the music made it on to something eventually. This version of “Powderfinger” never did.

I hope you enjoy the show. Please leave a comment on the website: http://johnhell.podomatic.com and tell your friends about thee show by clicking the “send to friends” link on the page.

Thanks.

2005-08-25T21:36:48Z

[yes, I know some of your minds are in the gutter, but it was unintentional]

OK - I finally got my CDs out to Daarxside (who will receive them sometime in December based on Geography). Its a beautiful epic, spanning decades and genres, not to say CDs. At times angry, sad, disturbing and borderline happy for a bar or two. But mostly just accepting....

BTW, Mivcah Micah, I dug the CD... fit my mood perfectly the day I got it and still works weeks after :)

Y'all ready for a Sept exchange?

2005-08-25T13:05:05Z

Let's do it!

Heh all, it's time for a september exchange!

Join! You know you want to! And it's good for you!

Here's the deal-ee-o:

Send me these three things: Tribe Name, Real Name, Address.

I wave my magic wand and send you out someone else's name. You make them a spanky new mix cd and send it out. Then, and again I emphasize that this is do to magic, you get another cd in the mail.

Send your info to:

micahcf@yahoo.com

Also send any questions, comments, and concerns to the above address.

Due date: Send out your info by Labor Day in order to be in this exchange. If you aren't feeling it, don't worry, we'll do a new one in another month or two. All you burning man people: send me a quick reply before you head to Black Rock!

Note to Permalist Exchangers: We'll start permalisting after we speed up a bit.

One last option. It is quite possible that, due to our small gene pool so far, we may get someone that we've had before. It this happens, then just consider it an update, and give all new music! On the flipside, if you want to include in your email people from whom you've already received stuff, then I can try to accomodatingly get someone new into your collection.

Thanks,
Mivca Micah

May CD Exchange

2005-05-19T23:54:21Z

Welcome all to the <a bit late> May CD Exchange!

Slightly new procedures are in effect for this month. Check out this post to read up a bit:

"This Tribe Ain't Dead!"

As always, you will send in your address, tribe name, real name, and bowling average (shoe size? favorite reptile?) Then, in a week, you'll get someone else's names & address, and send out your CD. In the mail comes a specially made CD for you from a fellow tribe member. Pretty sweet, eh?

Michelle's on hiatus, however, so send your info to:

micahcf@yahoo.com

Also send any questions, comments, and concerns to the above address.

Due date: Send out your info by sunday 5/22 in order to be in May's exchange. If you aren't feeling it, don't worry, we'll do a new one in June, earlier than the 15th.

Note to Permalist Exchangers: I don't have Michelle's lists, and am still making my system work, so there is no permalist for a few months.

Thanks,
Mivca Micah

This tribe ain't dead!

2005-05-15T23:25:21Z

Check it out! I talked with Michelle and asked if I could help out and administrate for a few months. She said, "For reals, for reals!" which means CD exchange for May is going on!

Wanna be in? You know you do!

Slightly new procedures, so please make sure to read the official post.

A bit about me: I've been in this tribe for about a year, and some of the best cd's I own are compilations I've gotten through it. Therein lies my motivation, and I hope that you enjoy this tribe too. Yes, you.

The new address: micahcf@yahoo.com

Why you might care: I'm extra-double-wide open to suggestions and ideas. I think Michelle's system is pretty much perfect, and she remains the moderator of our tribe, but I'm going run the show for a few months. You can direct any questions/concerns/comments my way. (No spam, you spam throwers!)

Check out the May CD-Exchange!

Welcome back, all

2005-04-18T19:38:13Z

OK guys. I still haven't sent out addresses for April's exchange. I am really sorry. I am sick...again...and have a lot of crap to do tonight so I am afraid I won't be able to get to it tonight either.

So...anyone have ideas on how to make this tribe run smoother? I hate that everyone is depending on me who has somehow become a big flake. I feel bad that I run late. I even allowed 2 extra days this time and I'm still behind.

I don't want to give up the tribe but I just haven't been able to commit to a monthly exchange lately. Any suggestions?

Sent out CDX14 but no clue to whom....

2005-02-25T11:23:59Z

Ok, so I had to make my cd for Anthony... I sent it out today... without a label, cd art or even a track list as I am LITERALLY in the middle of moving as I write this even.

Problem is, I usually write the person to let them know it is on the way...
There are 2 Anthony's in this exchange (both without a last name) & turns out I made a Heavier cd mix thinking it might have been for the one Anthony that is into heavier... chances are it might be headed to a different anthony that I have no clue what kinds of sounds you are into as I didn't get much out of your interests (after the fact).

So there.... sent.... but to which Anthony? doesn't matter now, just hope you lika de Heavy.

Here is the track list too... since I am in a rush & didn't include one.
Thanks for your time & hope you enjoy:

2005-01-31T02:32:43Z

OK...I am finally almost ready to proceed with the first round of 2005! I am working with a very tiny list sadly so I am going to make one last plea to the rest of you who haven't emailed me yet. PLEASE email me with your info because I lost my original list.

DEADLINE: January 25th, Tuesday, noon

That day I will distribute addresses between the 16 of us that actually participate!!!!! Soon after that, I will be DELETING those of you who do not participate like I have always threatened. ;-) A fresh start for EVERYTHING!

So, unless you are a part of the permanent list, please email me by Tuesday for this very late January round. I will post a list of those of you who have already emailed me very soon.

delayed January exchange

2005-01-22T21:32:36Z

Hi everyone! I am still not settled in..or moved in for that matter! I finally found a place in Los Feliz and can move on Sunday. My biggest problem is the weather... It's raining here and to get back to Visalia I have to take a route that has been closed due to snow. So, I don't know when I will have my computer. I am using my brother's computer but everyone's data is 3 hours away. I wanna do another exchange but I won't be able to plan one for a while. My apologies again for putting this off. Please don't think I have given up because I love this tribe.

New with questions...

2005-01-05T15:29:28Z

Hey there. I was just let in here, and i think this is a nifty idea. Couple of questions...

Is it mandatory to make fancy covers for these CDs? I see in the gallery that there are some pretty fancy ones, and I'm not sure I'm that savvy. Of course I'd send along a track listing and a few notes about my selections, but as far as a sized inlay card, I dunno.

Also, do those of you folks that have been involved in several trades make totally different mixes for each trade, or do you have one mix that you send out, maybe making a few changes on each depending on the recipient's tastes?

do these pants make my ass look huge?

December's Exchange... I AM SO SORRY!

2004-12-21T00:13:02Z

I am really sorry everybody. I couldn't get it together in time to organize an exchange this month. I promise this won't happen next month because I will be settled in by then. I have tried to find time but it's been impossible.
I am starting my new job in 2 weeks. I have to drive down to LA early in the morning (3 hrs.) to meet up with my brother so that we can go apartment hunting. I need to find a place to live this weekend if I don't want to crash on my brother's couch. I was already really stressed before the job change...mainly why I have a new job now. ;-) In addition, my dad got offered an executive position at Peavey (they make amps and speakers, etc.) but it's in Mississippi!!! I have been living with my parents since September and we are very close. My mom has been sick for more than a few years now and is pretty much on pain meds all day long every day. I was kinda helping out. So, I cannot believe they will be more than a 3 hour drive away. So everything is overwhelming me at the moment.
I hope it's OK that we skip this month's trade. I am really sorry. I **love** doing this tribe and I promise to make a fresh start in January. I wish everyone Happy Holidays! I am thankful to have so many people interested in this tribe.

OK... I mentioned in a previous post that I haven't had an opportunity to prepare a new database to track members, so I am sending out a request for help! Anyone out there really good at creating stuff in either Excel or Access? If anyone can help me, it would be a major load off my back. I haven't done anything in Excel in so long that I seem to have forgotten how to use it. If anyone can help me, please email me!!

new additions to your cd collection?

2004-12-14T14:53:59Z

Now that it has been a year since the first exchange, I am curious to know how this tribe is working as an experiment. Can anyone share any thoughts? Anyone go out and buy albums by bands they heard on their cd exchnage mixes? I rarely see reviews and never have time to post one myself anymore so I wanted to see if the tribe was working as I had hoped. Would love to hear everyone's thoughts.

I apologize I haven't been around as much as I used to be... Times are tough and I try to surround myself with people instead of 4 walls and my computer.. so I am not home very much.

CDX13 Review

2004-12-10T03:26:07Z

Korntee, what an amazing CD! Not stuff that I have listened to, so I can't really say which bands/artists I've heard... most of them I haven't (except for Fucking Champs, Vernon Reid, New Pornographers... not going to list them all). The brilliant jazz, to hip-hop, en route to the marching band (Yay!!!) transitions are the most obviously brilliant ones so far. There's nothing on this that I don't enjoy and IT'S AMAZING! Thank you so much. Clever transitions. A definite check plus. :)

Database Update for those who haven't already...

2004-12-02T05:28:16Z

I haven't heard from a lot of people to update their info...only about 15 people have emailed me regarding the listing I posted last week. PLEASE for those who haven't already emailed me with the info...PLEASE do so soon.

I am updating my CD Exchange Tribe database. I am basically starting from scratch, so here's what I need:

1. Tribe Name
2. Real name
3. Mailing address
4. Link to your Tribe profile (this way people don't confuse all same-named members and direct access to your profile for the person making your cd)
5. Please let me know whether or not you want to on the permanent exchange list
6. E-mail address

REMINDER! If any of your info above changes, please let me know...especially if you change your tribe name.

email me the info--- no13baby@sbcglobal.net

I guess this is the perfect way to weed out those who don't participate....

buying more music?

2004-09-22T15:29:14Z

So since you've been on this tribe...

Are you buying more music? Less music? About the same?

ME: probably more. Still hitting the used bins a lot. Scored today:
BIG BLACK - SONGS ABOUT FUCKING $3.99USD
CRANES - EP COLLECTION vol 1 & 2 $10.99USD

You ever get the feeling that there is one group of people that sells CD to used shops, and another that buys them? And that the two groups are fairly exclusive?

our tribe is a wee bit smaller

2004-09-11T02:07:42Z

I decided to thin out the tribe. I removed members who have either never participated or have not been in contact with the tribe (or myself) for the last 5 exchanges. If you were one of the people I deleted and you still wanna be involved, let me know. I'll add you back if you promise to participate. I didn't give any warning but I figure it has been discussed enough that I shouldn't have to announce it. I just don't have the time. IN updating my master list, I noticed that over 20 people left and never said goodbye. In fact, I only ever had one person email me to say he was leaving the tribe and I could remove him from the list.

Sorry for all my bitching.. I'm overworked and stressed about moving and .... sorry.

mp3 cd & IM

2004-08-05T22:15:17Z

i am interested in partaking in the next cd exchange.
are you guys passing mp3 cd's or audio?

you can fit 5 times more info on the cd if you burn it
as an mp3... that means 5 times as many bands and
songs.

the other thing i would like to suggest is that if you have
AIM (instant messaging) you can send music through that.
this would bypass the posting of your personal info (address)
paying for postage and burning the cd and most importantly
the energy it takes to mail it... it is an anti-procrastination
approach... cause i know i have a cd over here that i burned
a loooooong time ago for someone and it still has not been sent.

if you use instant messaging drop me a line and a song or two.
aim:fourteensquarefeet@mac.com

i think you have to include the mac.com portion of the name.

if you are interested in swapping music through i.m. let me know
and we can make it a new tribe or a subtribe of this one.

stolen CD's

2004-05-16T04:05:51Z

so my friend's car was broken into and they took a couple things …

a) my bag (I doubt my inhaler or my birth control are gonna sell well on the black market) and:

b) a big book of my cd's

This has been a painful loss to me. CD's are expensive, and I don't have a burner, so right now I'm feeling a sever lack.

As such, I was wondering if any of the kind folks on this list felt like burning any music for me. Mixes, or your faves, whatever you wish...
My taste covers the gamut, (hip hop, jazz, neosoul, goth, rockabilly, industrial, new wave, 80 ’s, indierock, funk, cabaret, punk, electroclash, middle eastern, latin, whatever) and I ’m always down to hear something I haven ’t hear before …

If you think you ’d be down for this, drop me a message.

Thank you guys, I really appreciate the help!
(ps this is especially for folks in the bay area, as it would be a lot easier to hand off, but if you ’d be up for mailing me something, that would ROCK!)

Anyone who has participated in the past will remain in the tribe. In the near future, I will begin contacting those who have seemed to have lost interest.

So, anyone who has never traded but wants to remain a member of the tribe, you will need to contact me.

reminders

2004-05-12T18:56:20Z

This is just a reminder to let the person who sends you a CD that you received it. I'd love to see more reviews but at the very least, can everyone please make it a practice to send the maker of your CD a message via Tribe? Everyone puts a lot of time and effort into these and not knowing whether the CDs are being received is kinda lame! It is the least you can do for the person who spent their free time to make you (a stranger) a CD. Thank you!

One other thing... if you sign up to participate, you are given a 20-day period in which to mail the CD. PLEASE send it by that 20th day. That is a long period of time and it seems a lot of people aren't doing their CDs until the last minute or not at all. (Although, we have had more than a few get lost in the mail.) If you haven't sent it and I am contacted by the receipient, expect an email from me. If you *do* get an email from me and you have sent the CD, don't get upset. I have no way of knowing if it's been sent. I know things happen and sometimes you may have to send it late. I know some things get lost in the mail. It is part of my job as the moderator to trace the CDs. Don't get mad! It seems I have been upsetting a few of you that I have emailed recently. I'm just doing my 'job'. To avoid this, you can always contact your receipient via Tribe and tell them it's on its way. I usually do that so they know to look for a CD in the mail. Just a CYA/suggestion.

PLEASE post your comments and suggestions...or email me privately if ya need!

There has been interest in signing up for every month's exchange in advance instead of emailing me every month. For those of you who know they will be able to participate in every exchange, you can email me (no13baby@sbcglobal.net) and I'll make a note that you are in for all future exchanges. Keep in mind, you can email me ahead of time if you can't participate but if you sign up and then flake I may remove you from the tribe.
Also, remember to check the receipient's interests so you avoid sending music that the person already has or doesn't like. Make it personal!!

Breaking point

03/08/04

By Joab Jackson, GCN Staff

Optical disks might not last as long as you would expect—or hope

Don’t be mistaken: Optical disks won’t last forever.

Many users think the disks are indestructible, but they are wrong, said Fred Byers, an IT specialist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

As the government saves more and more records in electronic format, long-term archiving becomes a puzzle. Paper has lasted for centuries. Can optical disks really last for the 100-year life span envisioned for them?

The good news from NIST is that certain types of optical disks might last that long or even double that—but only if handled with care.

But disk life expectancy depends on many factors, some controllable by users, others not, Byers noted in a disk care guide, NIST Special Publication 500-252.

The National Archives and Records Administration requested the report, asking NIST to come up with care and handling instructions for optical media. The goal was to imitate a report about magnetic tape care created by the now-defunct National Media Laboratory. Byers said he spent about a year testing disks and working on the guide.

Although many agencies have no archiving policy, they nonetheless are saving a lot of data on optical disks. “There are a lot of questions about the implications of that,” Byers said.

Recordable CDs and DVDs can be as reliable as magnetic tape for backup, he said, and they read much faster because they use random access, whereas users must search files stored on tape sequentially.

The useful life span of optical disks varies with temperature, humidity and day-to-day use. Data degradation at first can go unnoticed because of the error-correcting abilities of disk readers.

NIST has found that recordable disks seem to last much longer than rewritable disks, Byers said, and even longer than manufactured disks such as CDs for installing commercial software.

General industry guidelines now estimate office-burned copies of CDs and DVDs could remain readable for 100 to 200 years.

A disk burner records information by laser-heating a dye inside the disk. Over time the dye fades, rendering the information difficult to read. The disk’s reflective layer, which sends information back to a photosensor during reading, is also subject to degradation.

The reflective layer is usually of thin gold, silver or silver alloy. Gold does not corrode, though gold-coated disks are expensive. Silver corrodes when exposed to air pollutants such as sulfur. Most silver-coated disks use alloys to inhibit corrosion.

Rewritable CDs and DVDs have a shorter life span of about 25 years, so Byers said he does not recommend them for archiving.

A rewritable disk’s metal-alloy data layer is less stable than that in write-once disks. And rewritable disks are affected by light, so they also have a limited number of reads—a number that’s still uncertain.

Surprisingly, premanufactured CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs may not last as long as recordable disks, Byers said. Surprisingly, premanufactured CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs may not last as long as recordable disks, Byers said.

Most industry estimates place the life span of professionally produced optical disks somewhere between 20 and 100 years. But the weakness of the ROM disks stems largely from their aluminum reflective layer, Byers said.

When exposed to humidity and atmospheric oxygen through scratches, cracks or delaminated areas in the label, the aluminum breaks down.

Byers warned that all the life spans are rough estimates. A hurried burn or a change in manufacturing technique could cause premature failure.

He advised agencies to consider the longevity of their current storage media and always be developing migration strategies to a new one.

“These days, the rate of change in technology is so much faster,” Byers said. “I’m convinced there will be a new storage technology within 10 years.”

nobody's posting so...

2004-05-05T01:01:59Z

A bit of a clarification.
Granted I was pretty anal retentive in my profile as far as bands are concerned... But this doesn't mean I HAVE recordings of all these artists. Our desires often outreach our ability to POSSESS them, eh?

REMINDER Apr04/Round 6

2004-04-27T05:40:38Z

PLEASE have your CDs mailed by this weekend. That will have been 20 days. Anyone who doesn't receive a CD after this weekend can email me and I will try to track down your CD. If you have not mailed your CD for Round 6, please take a minute to contact your exchange person and let them know it's on the way.

I will be out of town this weekend (Coachella) just in case you write and wonder why I'm not responding...

Thank you!

DEADLINE extended on round 6

2004-04-12T04:11:52Z

I'm sorry everyone but I won't be able to distribute addresses until tomorrow night. So, for any of you who wanted in but thought you'd be too late, you still have until tomorrow evening to email me. I know I have told a few of you but I've had some life-altering drama happen this week and had to play 'good friend' all weekend. (One of my friends' husbands was shot & killed on Tuesday...) I'm sure you all aren't too upset..it's just one more day. :-) If all goes as planned, I will be sending emails tomorrow. Thanks everyone!

First, let me just say thanks for following through. No matter what you all receive it's best to have your tastes challenged than ignore. I apologive for the harshness of this review.

Round 4 Review

2004-03-29T05:21:28Z

I got my CD yesterday from Dan, so I thought I'd post a quick review of his "Afterburn" cd mix.

Dan, it looks like you put some good effort into this mix not only in content but in appearance. The custom cover and cd label looks very nice.

Now about the tracks. Overall I really enjoyed your selections. First off, you really can't go wrong with Tom Jones remixes. (Just in case you haven't heard of it, I recommend Tom Jones w/ Portishead singing "Motherless Child".) The tracks from Erasure & SneakerPimps bringback sounds I haven't heard in a while, while the ambiant & trance selections are an added delight for a night-time drive. Finally I end this review with 2 excellent words: Peter Gabriel.

Cheers!
