By Sleeves, 16 May, 2012, No Comment

In this episode, Sherwin talks about the Super Moon and whether moon dust is white or black or both…with beautiful morning bird sounds recorded by Chris Budde…and also a wavery announcement of sorts about what’s next for the RG…including a new time of 8 pm…The new shows may also be a little shorter. And may also be a little more bedraggled, a little less bedazzled.

In this episode, Sherwin addresses the rumors that he is Chester the Cheetah – the mascot for the orange volcanic Cheetos Snack. In a new segment “Midnight Movie Reviews” Sean discusses Lars Von Trier’s “Melancholia” outside in the cricketty fields at midnight. And we also play some new Fiverr songs – including a song about the soon to be phased out Windows Start button, and several songs commissioned by Radio Ghost listeners. Lastly, but not leastly, we get to know Paul and Grace Potts via a short submitted audio recording of their walk together down the blossoming promenade.

Also for Jess, who liked it when we played it on the show tonight – here’s the “Start Button Song” written, at the $5 request of someone on Fiverr.com about the nearing extinction, in Windows 8, of the little Start button in the lower left hand corner of the PC screen.

Lyrics:
It wasn’t there in 3.1
That little button starting gun
Miss the start, miss the start, miss the start
In 95 and 98
They introduced the starting gate
Miss the start, miss the start, miss the start
With Win XP they really popped
It had a start it never stopped
Miss the start, miss the start, miss the start
Now Vista took away the word
But then the whole OS was served
Miss the start, miss the start, miss the start
In Windows 8 I’m really stunned
No on or off no start button
Miss the start, miss the start, miss the start
So let’s say goodbye to start button
And all go back to 3.1

*Please also note that Sherwin announces the end of the Subscription Service in this episode. If you have a subscription, please feel free to cancel at any time. Sherwin and Sean both have just gotten jobs at the Mount Lemon Academy for Boys and cannot guarantee the steady supply of audio they once could. They do believe that they will continue at the same pace – but uncertainty requires thoughtful concession.

The Radio Ghost 31 – The Beatles Complete on Ukulele

By Sleeves, 11 April, 2012, No Comment

On this episode of The Radio Ghost, Sean talks with master producer and artist David Barratt about his project “The Beatles Complete on Ukulele“. We hear about the first ever donation to Warren Buffett and David describes giving ukulele’s to the 10 most important people in the world – and a few songs the project are aired as well, including the one Roy Harter and Sherwin worked on, “P.S. I love You.” Also, we hear a sampling of short songs that Sherwin’s been writing for 5 dollars on Fiverr. I also urge you to visit David’s audio art website, Karito.

The “Call to Arms” Contest

By Sleeves, 22 March, 2012, No Comment

A “Call to Arms” or “Logo” is apparently advertising slingo for those potent bits of music or sound that accompany a brand or show or product.

Here’s Intel’s Call to Arms:

On last night’s Radio Ghost, we played Lady Trucker’s submitted “Call to Arms” sound for the Radio Ghost (thank you J!):

And so I thought it might be fun to have a little “Call to Arms” contest. The grand prize winner will receive a subscription to the podcast collective as well as a free CD (any of the Ron & Fez CDs or one of the story CD’s like Sarro’s Balloon or The Christmas Skater).

These don’t have to be polished or slick “songs”. They don’t have to make sense. They can be loud or quiet. Whatever you like. You can record yourself on your iPhone or Blackberry or PC and email your results to me at sherwinsleeves@yahoo.com. All submissions will be played on next week’s RG.

Obviously, if you’re a musician and want to work something up, that’s fine too.

If you want to hear more about the contest listen to last night’s Radio Ghost. I think Sean and I talk about it in the first 10 minutes or so:
