Yes, I feel like we've lost a lot of celebrities this week, with the gent from PiL passing, too.

Austin, I saw Jem (from DEAD) in TRASH CULT Saturday night. I mentioned you & he remembered, says hi.

It's true, Charles. Our last "Scarlet Queen."
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:06pm
Austin Rich:

Scott67: That's excellent! Those guys really rocked the station when they came in. A local band was supporting them, but DEAD absolutely blew everyone away.

How funny he remembers. That was quite a while ago.

Have you ever heard The Unexpected? Like Twilight Zone.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:06pm
Austin Rich:

I feel like, sooner or later, a detective show does a "gambling / horse racing" story."
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:08pm
Austin Rich:

Imaginos: I don't remember. Is that the OG Twilight Zone? Or a different iteration?
Avatar 🎸 9:08pm
ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova:

OG.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:09pm
Austin Rich:

Hmmmm. I'll have to look into that. I might have, but I didn't always know the names of episodes I was watching.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:12pm

It took him a second, & some searching his memory. Then he said he's an experimental musician. I said that's him, then he remembered the time.

Nice!

Imaginos: I'm trying to find a plot summary. Do you have a link?
Avatar 🎸 9:15pm
ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova:

For The Unexpected? Its a radio series with interesting twists at the end.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:16pm
Austin Rich:

Oh, I see. It's a radio show! I misunderstood.
Avatar 🎸 9:18pm
ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova:

Life is a series of misunderstandings, many amusing.

I like to picture Dan staring at the lady with tiny plastic binoculars.

Some even made into Hitchcock movies.

Austin Rich:

Yeah, that bit in the drugstore is pretty funny.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:19pm
Austin Rich:

I do like the old phone sounds on radio shows like this.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:21pm
Austin Rich:

This episode has a lot of surface noise, for Box 13, which is usually very pristine sounding. But you can hear the skips in the transcription disc.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:22pm
Austin Rich:

Box 13 often makes "meta" references to radio, so having Dan purchase a radio and produce it at the track feels like another example of that "runner."
Avatar 9:23pm
Mr Fab:

I think I mentioned here before that horse-racing was the most popular sport in the US, pre-tv. So there’s plenty of movies (and radio shows too, apparently) set at β€œthe races,” from the Marx Bros on down.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:24pm
Austin Rich:

Of course! (Pre-TV, there's only so many baseball games a year, and horse racing happens every day.)
Avatar 🎸 9:25pm
ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova:

And who could forget Eliza Do little shouting "Move yer bloom in' arse!"

Ha! I need to re-watch that. That was my grandparents favorite movie.

(on my Dad's side, that is.)

"You were wired for sound." I need to sample that.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:28pm
Austin Rich:

I think I need to make a super-cut of all of Suzy's bad jokes at the end of each episode.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:30pm
Austin Rich:

While this show introduces itself as, "The Log of The Black Parrot," it is, in fact, a new pilot for a new sailing show, re-tooled to, hopefully appeal to a wider audience. It wasn't picked up, but we do have a recording of it.

You'll notice some similarities to The Voyage of Scarlet Queen, including some cast, characters, and gimmicks.
  9:33pm
Charles:

Wow it feels weird having a mix of the familiar with new elements.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:33pm
Austin Rich:

We will have Red as the first mate, but a new captain (or, at least, someone with a different name). My "head cannon" is that Phil Carney finally had to quit / leave / abandon the sailing life, someone else bought the ship and changed the name, and Red stayed on as the first mate.

There's no evidence that this is true. It's just what I came up with.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:34pm
Austin Rich:

If I'm not mistaken, there's a new writing partner. I suspect that had an impact on the style and flavor of the new show.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:36pm
Austin Rich:

The music cues are new. (Or, were probably part of some studios sound library, and recycles from something I'm unfamiliar with.)
  9:36pm
Charles:

Can you remind us when the last regular episode aired and this pilot did Austin?
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:38pm
Austin Rich:

The last regular episode aired 25 February 1948. So it had been a couple years since this show had been on.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:38pm
Austin Rich:

I have a feeling that "sailing adventures" were starting to feel "old-timey" in post-war America, and so the show didn't get picked up.
Avatar 🎸 9:40pm
ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova:

Then there was The Ghost and Mrs Muir
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:41pm
Austin Rich:

Oh, wow, Imaginos. I haven't seen that in ages... maybe 25 years? I should re-watch that. I sort of love Rex Harrison, for some dumb reason.
Avatar 🎸 9:42pm
ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova:

He was a wonderful actor
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:43pm
Austin Rich:

So, in this show, the Captain and Red have been sailing together for 3 years.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:47pm
Austin Rich:

I suspect that this is not the first time that Red has gotten into a fist fight with his captain.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:50pm
Austin Rich:

Certainly, it is a bit of a trope in sailing stories that, when we are meeting the crew of a ship, the Captain comes off as a real bastard at first. I suspect the idea was that we would learn how to "like" the Captain in future episodes, but in this episode, you don't really like the Captain at all.
Avatar 🎸 9:52pm
ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova:

The Sea is a jealous lover, so you can't blame a captain for acting cold.
  9:53pm
Charles:

The sound quality is great on this episode.
  9:53pm
Heather:

I think you can blame a captain for telling a girl he's going to kill her because she's too pretty, though! Phew. Hi all! Listening and lurking!
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:54pm
Austin Rich:

Thanks for mentioning, Charles! I actually didn't do much with this one, except boost the signal. But it does sound good.
Avatar 🎸 9:54pm
ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova:

Yeah, that you blame him for
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:54pm
Austin Rich:

Yeah, Matthew says and does some AWFUL stuff in the first episode, Heather. Gonna take a lot to earn our love after this... which might be another reason why it wasn't picked up as a regular show.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:55pm
Austin Rich:

And: great to see you, Heather!
Avatar 9:56pm
Mr Fab:

I suspect you’re right Austin about why this pilot wasn’t picked up. Sailing stories were probably seen as too old-fashioned, and were getting swiftly replaced by Westerns. Which now seem old-timey to us, but keep in mind the Old West era had really only ended a few decades before the β€˜50s.
  9:56pm
Heather:

Marry her?? How old is this girl?!?
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:57pm
Austin Rich:

Good point about Westerns, Mr. Fab!
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:58pm
Austin Rich:

Leper stories are probably also not very appealing to some markets, I suspect.
  9:58pm
Heather:

Oh boy. Now doesn't everyone have leprosy?
  9:59pm
Charles:

After you mate, after you!
Avatar 🎸 10:00pm
ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova:

Maybe that's why he wanted to kill her, so she would die beautiful
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:01pm
WR:

Well, that was certainly uplifting.
  10:01pm
Heather:

That might be too generous, Imaginos! But maybe!
  10:02pm
Heather:

Hey nothing gets em talking like leprosy. Isn't that how the saying goes?
  10:05pm
Charles:

I love all that stuff (but I am glad I had more episodes with Phil than Kincaid).
  10:06pm
Charles:

I want Sailing Suzie.
Avatar 🎸 10:07pm
ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova:

I wish they had done a series of the Continental Operative
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 10:08pm
Austin Rich:

That would have been great, Imaginos. I think a few have been done in the modern era, but not then.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 10:08pm
Austin Rich:

Charles: we should write a show where Suzie is the captain, and makes bad jokes.
Avatar 🎸 10:11pm
ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova:

Have you seen Love, Death and Robots?
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 10:12pm
Austin Rich:

I've seen a few, but not all of them. I want to sit down with them more, especially since Obadiah's recommendation.
Avatar 🎸 10:13pm
ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova:

Did you see Beyond the Aquila Rift?
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 10:14pm
Austin Rich:

I don't think so. It's not ringing a bell, anyway.
Avatar 🎸 10:15pm
ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova:

LDR episode. Really good.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 10:18pm
Austin Rich:

In sci-fi, the short-stories were a big deal, and the novels were an afterthought.

In rock and roll, the singles were a big deal, and the albums were an afterthought.

At least, I see the parallel.
Avatar 🎸 10:20pm
ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova:

And the Imaginos saga mixes Rock and Science Fiction
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 10:21pm
Austin Rich:

That's right! I love the places that Sci-Fi and rock and roll connect.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 10:21pm
Austin Rich:

I think that's why Max Headroom hits so hard: it's basically Rock and Roll Sci-Fi.
Avatar 🎸 10:22pm

Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 10:22pm

It's one of the few sources I can always trust.
Avatar 🎸 10:27pm

Max certainly connects to rock through the Blanks.

I was working on a punk song about the first Terminator movie today. We'll see if it stays about that.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 10:32pm
Austin Rich:

Wow, these actors are bad, sometimes.
Avatar 🎸 10:33pm
Cp304:

I wonder
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 10:37pm
Austin Rich:

I think this story is where Douglas Adams might have gotten some unexpected inspiration, referring to earth as a "backwater," and having aliens visit Earth.
Avatar 🎸 10:37pm
Cp304:

Keep me posted Austin.. I dabbled a bit in my recent hardware's, I'm feelin a bit creative lately.. you go boi
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 10:38pm
Austin Rich:

Cp304: "hardware's"? Like, synths?
Avatar 🎸 10:40pm
Cp304:

Well.. Roland, native, Ableton hardware's.. sometimes I get the itch to make them mingle and sometimes things happen
Avatar 🎸 10:40pm
ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova:

Like Logan's Run

Cp304:

The Roland cloud is quite impressive
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 10:42pm
Austin Rich:

Cp304: Fun! I just recently got an Oxygen49 controller, and I've been learning midi in the last year. I only have cheap software, but I can put a song together and have fun with it. It's all slapped together and held with ducktape and good thoughts.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 10:46pm
Austin Rich:

(Actually, I guess it's been a few years, now that I think about it.)
Avatar 🎸 10:49pm
Cp304:

I've been looking at the novation launchkeys for midi control.. yet to pull the trigger..
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 10:51pm
Austin Rich:

I'd love to get more gear, but I just try to make what I have work. I've been meaning to get into circuit bending and repair so I can get broken stuff and have fun with it... but that's another thing to learn that I haven't done yet.

We're getting near the end of the last story. Thanks for listening! Thanks for joining me here this week.
