eyesore radio v5

eyesore radio is a weekly show that features tracks from various bands on 4AD and some inane babble by me in between.

This edition of eyesore radio features the first installment of the thirteen part «History of 4AD» series. Well, actually, this series is just me playing a few songs from each year that 4AD has been going and me making some general comments about what went on that year.

This week's show covers 1980, and features:

• «Crowds» by Bauhaus from the In The Flat Field album.
• «Gathering Dust» by Modern English from the Mesh & Lace album.
• «Rema Rema» by Rema Rema from the Wheel In The Roses ep.

  This is a fifteen minute show and is distributed as a 4Mb gzipped 8kHz .au file, which means that you should be able to play it on Suns without much bother. If you need to convert it to some other format, you should get hold of sox.

  If you'd like to get the file by hand (ie. ftp) and, say, play in on an SGI, you'd do the following:

  $ ftp www.evo.org
  login: anonymous
  password: user@site
  
  ftp>bin
  ftp>cd /pub/eyesore/radio
  ftp>get eyesore.v5.au.gz
  ftp>quit
  $ gunzip eyesore.v5.au.gz
  $ sox eyesore.v5.au eyesore.v4.aiff
  $ playaiff eyesore.v5.aiff
  

  Conversion commands will vary from system to system.
