Expansion Broadcast: Drum & Bass and Dubstep Podcast

So this one’s a shortie. I’m not gonna bother posting it to the podcast feed only because its so short so I figure I’ll keep this number as website exclusive. But anywho, here it is.

So during last Friday’s show, I was talking real briefly with Ian/Inflictz (check his mix btw) and he says to me Oh I subscribed to your podcast the other day. So I then of course asked him if he got the link off the website (as in this little number you’re reading right now). And he responds with no, I found it by doing a search on drum & bass podcasts in iTunes. Oh, interesting…

I was ecstatic to discover people are finding the podcasts by means other than me plugging the website every opportunity I get. So I hopped online to check my subscription count and according to Feedburner its gone up rather substantially. Yay!

The part I find interesting is that while our numbers during the live broadcast have gone down over the years, our podcasts subscribers have increased dramatically. Needless to say, I’m thrilled! I think this is a true testament to the way consumers as a whole are consuming their media these days (audio, video, or otherwise). I almost equate podcasts to TiVo. Its there wherever and whenever you want it - and it’s dead simple to retrieve thanks to programs like iTunes (or whatever the fuck else Ricky Ricardo uses since he’s such an iTunes hater).

Anyway, with that all said, I just wanted to say “hello and welcome” to all the new subscribers. Chances are you probably don’t even know this website exists since you probably found our podcast through iTunes but in the event you ever do pop along over here, be sure to drop us a comment on one of our posts and/or send us a message directly. We highly value your feedback. Thanks everyone!

So I guess word never got around to Jay that I only had 1 CDJ which obviously put a crimp in his original plan. Well, he made due just fine with what he had (my records). Big ups Jay on the very impromptu set.

So when Shade wrote his post the other week about Audacity crapping out on him in the middle of the show, I’ll admit that I chuffed a little bit. Clearly it must’ve been an issue with his computer and not the audio editing darling of the open-source community. I mean, there have been 38 developers putting in almost as many person years in creating this widely used application and working to make it stable. Nightmares of being chased down dark alleys by machete-wielding unit and regression tests surely must’ve haunted a few of these coders until they delivered an app which was so stable it could take a bullet, catch it in it’s teeth, spit it back at you, and then karate-chop you in the throat.

You would think…..

So imagine my shock when in the middle of my show last week Audacity gave me a whiny error message and promptly closed, taking about 1 1/2 hours of my set along with it. After checking outside, to make sure the universe wasn’t unraveling at the seams, I came to the sudden realization that Audacity was a steaming pile of shit….leaving my faith in open-source and humanity both irreparably shattered.

This is my long-winded way of telling you not to expect a dubstep podcast from last week. My apologies.

Super scratch DJ Inflictz does his thing for us on Expansion Broadcast.

This has absolutely nothing to do with drum and bass or dubstep, I just thought it was freakin’ hilarious.

And on this episode of Expansion Broadcast you’ll get to hear my lovely radio voice trying to announce most of the track titles. I’ll mention it now, I did misidentify one of them. It wasn’t “Crooklyn” by Alix Perez, it was “Crown City.” Oops. My b.

Also, if ya kids don’t mind, let me know how you like the whole “MC IllEffect” deal on this mix. Should I continue with all the track id’s or would you just rather a plain old mix with minimal banter? Leave a comment in the post.
