Oddly enouguh, babel is the guy who’s tribute mixes keith got us to watch a couple of weeks ago…

Podcast thoughts

Lord MacfadyanLord Macfadyan   on August 25th, 2007

hmm, well, I’m none to happy with podcast three – uploaded to the site, hopefully this Sunday evening. There’s far too much me in it. All down to the subject matter, alas, as I ended up going into full on reminisc…reminis…..I remember when mode…Poor old Adam and Crumbly had to put up with me waffling for ages…..

I also slightly screwed up the sound edit by over compressing slightly and so some of the loud bits are loud, alas…however, it’s passable.

We recorded far too much this time around so there will be a second podcast in a fortnight……
