The Friday Night Trivia/L Archives

Last night, the first night of June 2018, I restarted my Friday Night Trivia series under a slightly new banner. My original title was Friday Night Trivial, but during last night’s love show, Ian the6thDoctor suggested the name you see in the blog title; I think I’ll go with that.

Just like I have a post compiling links to my sound collages, here I’ll collect episode links.

Update: As of Friday, 8 May, 2021, Friday Night Trivial is officially concluding. The show ended last year on an uncertain note, and I brought it back during the Great Quarantine of April 2020, but the show is again returning to the shadows of the archives. Thank you to everyone who made it to the live shows.

“The Autumn Leaves” — ATB
“I’ll Be Back” — The Beatles
“Hey There Delilah” — Plain White T’s
Cassette tape distorted audio throughout
Ambient weather noise, rain, wind

Another sound collage created back in mid-July of 2022. I remember thinking, “where are the brakes on this thing?” as I was making this, as this collage goes for two hours; I just couldn’t find a good stopping point at the one-hour mark and just kept going.

Playlist:
“Never Say Goodbye” — Rave Channel
“Little Fluffy Clouds” — The Orb
“Turn Down Day” — The Cyrkle
“Right Back” — Yuri Kane
“Wildflower” — Skylark

Please enjoy and thank you for listening!

Super Awesome Fun Time With Rand 131: Scenes From a Rainy Window

This was a sound collage I created back in mid-July, during a rather persistent thunderstorm one Sunday afternoon. I placed my microphone in my window, pointed outward, and just recorded. I then layered on distorted audio clips into the mix. This is rather different from practically any other sound collage I’ve made so far. I hope you enjoy it.

This episode combines:
Ambient thunderstorm recording
“Scenes From an Italian Restaurant” — Billy Joel
Clip from a Coast to Coast AM episode w/Art Bell
Some Joe Frank episode. Maybe Lost Souls?
…I’ll add more when I listen back.

As always, please enjoy and thank you for listening.
