FWIW, this Guardian article is a nice overview on the gestation and creation of the Ork Records box set. Have to thank “Angry Mom Records” for lots of the ephemera that was recovered as well. www.theguardian.com...

Good evening. Working from home after a virus kept us off computers all day at work (not as relaxing as you might think.) Great to be here.

I was just reading that article earlier today, courtesy of a fellow listener! It's what pushed me to finally crack open that box!

hi Stevel, better a computer virus than a personal one at least.

From my brief internet research - Screams hailed from Champaign, Illinois. Same town as REO Speedwagon and Poster Children.

Cheap Trick hailed from Rockford, Illinois.

@Jake Gould - I think he's going to put his cassette recorder next to the TV speaker and record the sound.

Jesus I love this AC/DC track. And the official video is great; very DIY. www.youtube.com...
  11:33pm
JakeGould:

Guys… I’m joking. I’m actually recording this show on a Hi-Fi VHS recorder in LP mode with a 8 hour tape. Imagine: 8 hours of WFMU on one cassette!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:36pm
coelacanth:

do you have it directly connected to your clock-radio or are you using microphones?
  11:36pm

@coelacanth: I built a cabinet out of plywood and lined with with egg cartons. Put some 5 pound weights on top of it and it’s solid!

coelacanth:

really though Jake when i was little that kind of thing was a revelation!
i tried many ways to hook up my panasonic mono cassette recorder directly to the record player. it got to the point that i'd un-plug everything, make the connections, plug it all into an extension cord and stand outside my bedroom to plug it into the outlet- just in case something exploded!
  11:48pm
JakeGould:

@coelacanth: In 1980 I was so excited about “The Empire Strikes Back” coming out I would just record any mention or review or preview of the movie on audio cassettes from the TV. Yup. Did that all.

This English Beat song makes me feel good. I guess I had good times when it was played in the 80s.
  11:53pm
Eddy in Australia:

^^^ What he said! Good times indeed.
  11:53pm
JakeGould:

@coelacanth: But I recorded them on ultra el-cheap bootleg audio cassettes my dad would get from whatever store he bought discount stuff from. Like the place that sold 4 packs of Everready batteries with the cat on them before they started leaking and junk. Worked for my needs but never lasted.

And yeah, “Save it for Later” is an ace song.
  11:56pm
Eddy in Australia:

Forget it, Jake, it's AnalogTown.

If I recall correctly I believe Mary Wing played a fairly awesome set of “Save it for Later” covers a while back.
