Mixtape No. 25: The Seventh Layer of WoW

I got seven days of free World of Warcraft time for the pre-release of Mists of Pandaria. I decided to check out the state of the game. It wasn’t as exciting as I remember it. But, I made a field recording of my experience (points) to share.

When I uninstalled the bloated client, I did not think to save the screenshots. Ooops!

Here's a different screenshot of Potamus playing on a netbook. At least it runs on just about anything.

It should probably be noted that these sounds are recorded from me playing World of Warcraft, and so probably also remain the property of Blizzard. But it’s just for fun anyway, so why should anyone care about the legality? First thing I’ll do when I rule the world: kill all the lawyers. How do you even “own” a “sound,” man? Whoa.

Mixtape No. 20: Essential Listening I

Essential Listening, episode the first. Converted using my poor MiniDisc, may it ever remain useful. Nine tracks everyone needs to hear and some you won’t mind hearing several times; mostly live and taking place in the 1970s — including a large chunk of James Brown performing on Soul Train. Peace, love, and soul-l-l! All songs are available on the YouTubes.
