Speculations


 

With the internal countdown frighteningly running out of days and the clouds fortunately deciding to let all the rain out in preparation, Campus A Low Hum 2011 speculations have begun to pour in as fast as a Ponsonby socialite can gossip.
As a way to present the new right-click-to-download song gifting system here at Underdead (and a little introduction we had our close friend Ash Ketchum record for us), I have decided to indulge in rumours and assist in building your excitement for the big weekend.
(NB: I understand and love the Campus tradition of keeping the lineup secret until the festival; this article's intention is simply to spur excitement and give a taste of what's to come).

Dusty Podcasts #2


 

3 weeks after the Halloween podcast I went to Home Bay with a group of friends and drank a lot of gin. Then I had to show up to the bfm studios with a last-minute selection of tracks and a furby, still quite drunk. This marked the downside of our new 11pm-1am timeslot, and quality of conversation may slightly reflect our messy shabby squashed mess of a segment. 
Enjoy! 

Track list: 
NewVillager - Genghis On 
Glass Vaults - New Space 
The New Wine - Revolving Cylinder
Jong Pang - New Order 
The Fresh & Onlys - Diamond In The Dark

Dusty Podcasts #1



Not too long ago, I was given a segment on a radio show to play and talk about 5 tracks relating to a weekly theme, and I said I'd upload the podcasts on this blog each week. As it turns out, the process of securing the recordings of this show is a little tricky, so I finally took things into my own hands and recovered a few past shows. 

Listening to this after three months is a little strange, I feel like it's very amateurish and hope the recent ones are a little better- however it received sweet feedback and in case anybody out there wanted to hear my second ever segment, I thought I'd document it here. 

This was recorded the night of Halloween, so that was our weekly theme. 
Track list is as follows: 
AWESOME JOKE WITH ODD MICROPHONE EFFECT 
Memory Cassette - Ghost In The Boombox 
Ghost Wave - Gold 
Cool Cult - Beach Love 
Capsul - Auckland Haunts My Dreams 
The Rural Alberta Advantage - Don't Haunt This Place

I'll be backtracking a few more in the days to come.
