[ Ericade.radio news & podcasts ] [Podcast] 31. Epic fail

So, it was not meant to be… Most that compete, fail. That’s the rule of most games. Jack Tramiel named his company “Commodore” (a navy rank) as he throught the computer business was a war. Today we commemorate the failures, because they weren’t often not bad, just unsuccessful. From the ilfated Amiga 600 to the Texas Instruments TI 99/4A. DJ Daemon remembers the days of infighting between hordes of different computers that were by and large incompatible with each other.

56:30 EdZeS and Auricom – Related memories

Production notes:
Colophon:
An epic is a grand story with heroes and villains that often becomes a legend. Informally it can mean "an exceptionally long and arduous task or activity". In Internet lore "Epic fail" means something like a "Gigantic mistake" or "total flustercluck" (you know what I mean).

Playlist:
00:00 Amiga Flashback – show intro
00:13 DJ Daemon speaks: Revision 2021. With a slogan: online Together – on a sofa near you. Covid19 considered, this years German demo party was best enjoyed from home as it ran from the 2nd – 5th April 2021. Let’s listen to the 15 contestants from the tracker competition from revision. We’ll start from the bottom and work until we reach the gold of first place. Explicit warning. First up: Defiance, a Swedish demo group. Number 15.

25:10 CS-Jay of Desire ^ Persuasive Music – 25 years later
28:29 DJ Daemon speaks: JCO from Germany has a number of memberships in demo groups under his belt, which is a fitting way of saying it as the his song is called “Suck my dick”. The vocals seems to parody Michael Jacksson. Number 7 – JCO – yeah, I already told you the name of the song.
28:50 JCO – Suck My Dick
31:46 DJ Daemon speaks: From Poland comes e!ghtbm. Ephidrena is a Norwegian demo group, but I cannot find any information if the song is dedicated to them. There is also a band that released a song called “Tales of Ephidrena”. Everything has an explanation, but for me, this is a mystery. Number 6.

47:00 DJ Daemon speaks: Maniacs of Noise is a pan-European group with a lot of different nationalities in their ranks. Slimey and Virgill goes for gold, but ends up with the silver medal for their song The Codewizard. The intro makes me think about classic song Typewriter song by Leroy Anderson, as it starts with someone hammering on a keyboard.
47:25 Slimey and Virgill of Maniacs of Noise – The Codewizard
50:18 DJ Daemon speaks: Bonefish comes from Croatia and Mygg is Swedish. Mygg is the plural form of Mygga, which means “mosquito”. A to the victors go the spoils. The winner is Bonefish and Mygg with Brofists.

[ Ericade.radio news & podcasts ] [Podcast] 28. Too pooped to party

The whole Saturday was one big fight against compressors, limiters, scripts, virtual machines and all the other “tech gods” out there. But the station sounds better than ever and I’m too tired to create a big show. Instead you get some banter and the newest music to enter the station. A really super mix of the smoothest and the coolest beats the Amiga mod scene can muster.The Revision Demo scene episode tracker competition episode is postponed until next week, but it will be done!

57:36 DJ Daemon speaks.
58:08 Clawz of Bomb – Kuulitte oikein
59:29 Uctumi – themelin

Production notes:
I installed the Thimeo StereoTool audio processor and it was very hard to get working. I eventually had to give up. A few months later I figured it out and got it to function as intended. But this time a pretty common problem had me stumped and the hours fighting it were many. So no time to create anything more advanced.

Colophone:
"Too pooped to pop" is the title of an old Chuck Berry song. I'm a huge fan of music from the 50s and 60s. So this is a pretty obvious reference for me.

Due to a heavy work load, the Saturday episode of Amiga Flashback had to be broadcast on a Sunday. This time DJ Daemon focuses on the music and selects a set of more chill tunes.

[ Ericade.radio news & podcasts ] [Podcast] 21. Look at you, hacker!

Hackers are mythical creatures that just get in everywhere. Hacking is alas used as ersatz magic in many games and Hollywood movies. DJ Daemon tires of this and tries to find some games and movies that does this in a reasonly correct way. He uses a very generous definition of “correct”. But the suspence of disbelief is a strong force of nature. So let’s just accept this as a proper hacker story.

Playlist:

50:08 Xemogasa / ske – Sapphire eyes
53:36 DJ Daemon grapples with penny shaving (who’s Penny anyway?) and salami slicing. Sounds awful but it’s actually about money fraud. It feels better now.
54:14 Nighthawk / pfs – Do the monkey!
57:27 DJ Daemon thanks you for listening and signs off
57:50 Singer/altair grns mnt – Seen an angel

Production notes:
I put some effort into writing the dialogue for this episode as I felt the prewritten episodes were more enjoyable as I could control how long I spoke and avoid "word searching" and mistakes. It was also one of the first episodes to feature speech from the games themselves.

Colophone:
"Look at you, hacker" is the first line from Shodan's infamous speech "Look at you, hacker: a pathetic creature of meat and bone, panting and sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a perfect, immortal machine?". That speech is even in the intro of the show.

When I review the hacking tropes I use names of real hackers and hacker groups. Like "I give it 9 out of 10 Fancy bears".

DJ Daemon doesn’t care too much about that and instead plays everloving Amiga-tunes and remembers when he fell in love with C64 basic (perhaps not something he wants to admit…), the demo scene and everything else around Commodore geekdom.He also overuses the word “Love” in a way that even the Beatles would have found a bit too much.

Production notes:
This is one of those shows, where the date pretty much made the topic mandatory. It did air one day before valentines day. But still....

I didn’t notice at recording that “TAP – Love Me – TNE rmx” and “AceCream – LoVE Me” are remixes of the same song… Ah, well, it’s good enough to hear twice…

Colophon:
"All you need is love" is a song by the Beatles, released in 1967. It's commonly believed it was featured on their magnum opus "Sgt Peppers lonely heart club", but this is not the case.

[ Ericade.radio news & podcasts ] [Podcast] 19. Battle of the nerds

Nerds and geeks are peaceful right? Nope! We battle as much as anyone else, but seldom in a fisticuffs fight. You know, it’s all about words and feeling superior because we have an HP 48 calculator, an Amiga instead of an Atari or because our favorite demo group just won in the great demo party. DJ Daemon dives into why we need to form groups or “cliques” where we feel elevated and enlighted as opposed of those other “troglodytes” of the competition.

Production notes:
Colophon:

[ Ericade.radio news & podcasts ] [Podcast] 17. Standing on the brink in the eve of destruction

The 80s ended more than 30 years ago, but it was an interesting time in the eye of an impressionable youth such as me. I was 5 when it started and 15 when it was over. In between we had the closing chapter in the cold war, a battle between home computers, a combat where silence met the truth of an incident in a village near Kiev and off course the monumental clash between east and west as the borders fell. Most of this is presented through the eyes of the child I was back then.

Playlist:
00:00 Jingle – Top of the hour – Good evening
00:05 DJ Daemon introduces the episode.
00:25 Amiga – 80s_remix
03:22 DJ Daemon speaks about Swedish rap group “Just D” and their song 87-87 then about 80s retro computers and the politics of the decade.
05:51 Amiga – beyond_forever!
09:45 DJ Daemon speaks about an article about retro computers in Ny Times. References Clint Basinger / LGR.

55:08 Amiga – aufweide_monty_fmix
57:02 DJ Daemon thanks you for listening.
57:23 Amiga – blackjack

Production notes:
This is an episode built around me finding Ronald Reagan's infamour gaffe on Wikipedia and that made me laugh. Then I though of how little I understood of world politics back then.

Colophon:
Warning for word sallad. The title references the tune "On the eve of destruction" by Barry McGuire and the term "brinkmanship". The latter is a game when two or more nations compete in a dangerous buildup of nuclear armaments, pushing the world to the brink of desctruction. If it never passes the brink everyone wins (for now), else everyone lose (their lives).

Another doin’ nothin’ show. I did one a month ago, and I’m not done with that yet. New music (for this station) is promised and delivered as you expect. I also read a bad poem with so much horrible grammar it makes it all worth listening by itself.Some notes:About the intro: I don’t know what DAE means either. Maybe some weird connection with area 51, so dae.I know how l33t-speak work. I just act if I didn’t to make it look just as silly as it really is.

[ Ericade.radio news & podcasts ] [Podcast] 15. Return of the Tekmann

Chiptunes are back in style in the retro scene. On of the people keeping this classic 80s and 90s computer music alive is Tekmann, who does his music on two Gameboys. He avoids doing to much post-work on the tunes he composes and instead prefers letting the real hardware doing the heavy lifting. It’s as real as it gets! Today we meet him in an interview where he talks about his creative approach, his “lone wolf” musician hobby and exactly how much he likes touring… That is when can, as the Corona puts quite a damper on it. You will also get to know why a Dead Mau5 looking super hero outfit is his prefered outfit when performing.

Colophon:
Easy, Tekmann had just released a new album and thus returned to the scene so to speak.

[ Ericade.radio news & podcasts ] [Podcast] 14. Not much of a plan 9 from outer space

20 minutes before the show would “Air”, I knew it could be done. My plan was to record it later. But as my previous engagements fell throutgh, I sprung into action and got all things good from Amiga Modules Archive with a rating of 9 out of 10. Hence the cheezy reference to the old sci-fi turkey created by Ed Wood. Then I voice tracked at a warp 10 speed and barely got it out in time.

[ Ericade.radio news & podcasts ] [Podcast] 13. There and back again, a story of five games

[ Ericade.radio news & podcasts ] [Podcast] 12. I thought I was wrong (but I was in error)

Being wrong is no fun, but it’s soo easy. This episode jokes around about the incorrect stuff I said during the fall of 2020 and even puts the very idea of calling it “Errata” on a podcast in question. So it’s time to question our correctness and sanity. Maybe being wrong is ok, but what if you let a crazy mad scientist style cryptographer doing it on a IT-security podcast? Daemon shudders when he remembers.Errata:– You just read it… I will explain it in the podcast.– And… Geez… This will have no end. The Mix tape guy is actually from Luxembourg, not Germany.

Production notes:
I just collected all things I wrongly stated during the first six months of the station and made a show about it. And managed to add more errors in the process. Fantastic. :)

Colophon:
There is a rather narcisistic joke "I'm always right. Once I thought I was wrong, but I was in error". It's a bit of a paradox as well.

[ Ericade.radio news & podcasts ] [Podcast] 10. The doctor's in and remixed

Dr Awesome is a staple here, but today’s podcast plays the remixes that you don’t get to hear on the station otherwise. For one hour we reimagine his old Amiga modules with modern synthesizers and the effects to match. Not much to say, but a lot to experience. Best heard on high volume or with a decent set of head phones at a comfortable level (don’t damage your hearing!!).The remixes are by the good doctor himself, because who would be better to improve already stellar songs?

55:33 Dr. Awesome - Niagara

Production notes:
I love Dr. Awesome and his work and felt a special episode for him was a great idea. There are actually two episodes about him, but this is the one with his remixes and non-Amiga musik.

Colophon:
"The doctor is in" is written on the booth where Lucy sits in the comic strip "Snoopy". She provides pretty doubtful psychological services mostly to Charlie Brown.

[ Slengpung ] PSA: Housekeeping happened

Just a quick news item while we're all suffering from IRL-party-withdrawal: We've finally finished a major server move - thanks D.Fox for hosting us for a few years, and thanks to Fnord and Ziphoid for our new hosting. As a result, it was about time we got rid of most of the old rickety code that ran the site and rewrote it; as such, some of the features may be missing, and we'll be fixing those as we go. Merry Xmas! :)
