Yes We Can (Create Unnecessary Work For Ourselves)!

Here’s the thing: I had planned to totally listen through the final MP3 of the first triumphant episode of Holy Goddamn!, but time conspired against me. Plus, I got a little anxious. So I posted it anyway, confident that nothing could possible be wrong with it (from a technical standpoint, anyway).

Of course, listening to it later, I discovered that the “final” MP3 had some weird digital noise attached to all of the spoken word bits. I didn’t really want to output a new file, but I found this noise way too distracting to let go. “Hey, that should be easy to remove” I says to myself.

*doodly-doodly-doo* Seven hours later, drenched in sweat and self-defeat, I finally removed this noise.

Unfortunately, if you’ve already subscribed to the podcast and want to download this episode, you will probably have to go into iTunes and unsubscribe. Then, once you’ve done that, click here to resubscribe.

Sorry to create extra work for alla y’all, but I promise this new version sounds much, much better. It doesn’t sound like I’m yelling through a kid’s Darth Vader voice box anymore. If you need proof, check out the original post and try out the Flash player to sample the improvements.

And if you notice anything else wrong in the podcast, GO TO HELL! I mean, please let me know.

Holy Goddamn! 001 – The Gentle Scream of a Dying Tongue

Oh, you thought you could kill it, didn’t you? YOU CAN’T KILL IT! HOW CAN KILL DEATH ITSELF!

Of course, “death itself” in this case refers to Holy Goddamn!, the official Scratchbomb.com podcast, which makes its triumphant return to the interweb airwaves TODAY!

In episode 001, I speak on my current preoccupation with Food Competitions, and interview the proprietor of Winger’s, which will explain the presence of that horrid ad just above you. Plus, I spin some tunes (listed below for you completists), interspersed with some obscure sound clips that no one but me will remember or enjoy. Fun!

How can you get all this audio hotness? Well, you can play it in your web browser by clicking on the audio player below. If you want to subscribe to the podcast and you have iTunes, click here.

In Case You’re Interested…

…and I know you are, I’ve added all 2006 entries to the new site. So delve into the past, if you are so inclined. I’ll be moving on to 2007 next and sending periodic updates of the progress therein.

Truth be told, there was one post from 2006 that I didn’t add, which pertained to the old Scratchbomb podcast, Holy Goddamn! That’s because I hope to revive the podcast some time in the near future, and didn’t want to confuse the issue by having an old post pointing to a weird mp3 that doesn’t exist.

When shall that podcast be up and running again? I hope to have one ready within the next few weeks. I’ve laid the groundwork for doing it tech- and site-wise, now I just have to think of some ideas and carve out the time to do it.
