University Of Hell Press Event - mimeograph.2 Release Party 5.12 at Secret Society

Dee Madden — Fri, 29 Apr 2011 05:23:16 +0000

Got my first bonafide show as myself, kids. Greg Gerding, prolific writer and the man behind University Of Hell Press, the publishing company that will be putting out "the mimeograph series" in paperback form, is having a release party for his book "The Idiot Parade". As for myself, this will be a release party for "mimeograph.2: dm". I will be playing a few things off of the first two albums and reading some chapters. It's all happening at Secret Society in North Portland, next to the Wonder Ballroom, 116 NE Russell St, from 8 to 11.

Be there or be a snare.

"mimeograph.2: dm" has a release date: May 3rd!!!

I am happy to announce that mimeograph.2: dm is coming out in May. May 3rd to exact, on Toxic Shock Records. As with the last one, it will be available at all of your friendly digital stores. This release also marks a change in format with the companion books. They will also be digital. The mimeograph.1 and mimeograph.2 books will be released as eBooks round about the same time in May. I will keep you posted.

It's a mish-mash of video stuff. Old PC vids, a recent music vid I acted in for the new Kilbey + Kennedy album, and some old pre-PC stuff. Go Here.

YouTube is BRUTAL.

Man, their encoder is a pain in the ass. So picky. I had to try uploading this several times before I got it right, and even then, the compression on what I ended up with is kinda nasty. But I can't dink with this any longer, so I'll take it.

mimeograph.2 tracks are up! Never before heard penal colony tracks too!!!

Dee Madden — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 19:41:43 +0000

I've made some tracks off of the forthcoming mimeograph.2: dm available for listening and download in the new aural section. I've also added a mismash of penal colony stuff, including the previously available tracks off of "5 Man Job", some remixes I've done in the past few years, and a smattering of tracks that appeared in out of print comps back in the day. Enjoy!

Success!!!

Earlier, I said Firefox wouldn't be a problem with my HTML5 audio player. I was wrong. It was a royal pain in the ass getting it to work. I also found out that IE was a problem. Everybody's fixed now. Check it out! Play and listen! And if you haven't gotten it already, for gosh sake, get it now on iTunes!

Still more fun with HTML5

I wanted to have some sort of player on the main page, but wanted to avoid using flash if I could, so I made it my foray into HTML5. I build a little player for checking out tracks off of mimeograph.1 from the home page. Most of what I read seemed to indicate that I was going to have some trouble gettting it to work with FireFox, but it seems to be working fine.

Success

yessir, 44.1k did the trick. for your viewing pleasure.

Fun with YouTube

I've been trying to upload the "hypothalamus now!" vid from the penal colony "unfinished business" album all doggone day. After trying and failing several times, turns out uploading video with 48k audio is a bad idea. YouTube's encoder does something crazy with the time and doubles it. Since they only allow 5 minute videos, a 7 minute video turns into 14 minutes, and it rejects it. After trolling some forums, looks like converting the audio to 44.1k fixes the problem. We'll see.
