Hour No.2 Post Op Addendum




I have verifiable proof that mp3's are an inferior format. I am aware that this is something that we have been told for years, but I never realized the extent of it until posting Hour No.2 yesterday. And I must apologize, for I feel the entire hour suffers for lack of adequate audio quality. This is not because I'm some nitpicky audiophile out to change the world through high fidelity, this is because on one particular gem of a song, MP3 compression has robbed me, and everyone listening of a vocal track. It's amazing really, but that three minutes that should be the wonderful and highly irreverent "Boobs A Lot" by the Fugs, comes across as three minutes of jangly guitar and a quarter note rhythm. This simply is not fair. I believe that I am going to file a formal complaint with the Czar of Digital Media Compression and demand lots and lots and lots of money for emotional damages, not only to me, but my three listeners as well (who probably didn't even make it to the song in question). Anway, what I'm actually going to do, because I'm such a nice guy is post a free standing version of that great song right here and now, so you can stop the hour at the appropriate time, play this, and still get the full effect. I must caution that this audio is exclusively for use in this situation, and any violation of this one-sided agreement will be regarded as forfeiture of life and 50% of the posessions of the offending party. Enjoy... within the terms I have outlined punks!

the Al Truistic Guarantee: If I ever play an hour that you are completely 100% familiar with, e-mail me and tell me to do a better fucking job. I will be standing by, dancing to each broadcast as it’s recorded. I promise to never play anything that I think is “allright.” I promise to never play anything anyone wants me to play, unless I feel like it. It has cost me absolutely nothing hours and hours of my precious life to do this, and as far as I know, I’m not stopping anyone from listening to or doing anything else. So listen to this if you want, I do.

Once inside the Hour you may find yourself flummoxed by very divergent sounds. If any of these frighten, unnerve, or excite you, GOOD! Keep listening until they no longer do, and you become a numb, unexcitable shell of a human being like myself.
