No REM. But plenty left behind.

Shoegaze episode.

Monkey on the Lam 7-22

Maury — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 19:36:48 +0000

Here’s the recent Monkey on the Lam episode. It bugged out a little during “US V THEM” so that song is abridged (and that’s why I procrastinated so bad on editing the mp3 and putting it up, the rest should be intact.)

Us V Them: Underdog shirt design for WVVY

Maury — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 02:40:09 +0000

I came up with this while I was driving today, I wanted to create a shirt design that used the new WVVY logo but was not exclusively the logo. I’d been thinking about ideas, and then the LCD Soundsystem song “Us V Them” came on with the line “Us V Them Over and Over again” and I just envisioned this group of small people staring up at a giant glom of antennas, intimidated but empowered to press on and attempt to let their voices be heard amongst the din of noise that clogs the airwaves.

So this is what I created, from that idea:

And the back would be like this:

and here’s the mockup of the shirt:

The logo could also very well be used, I suppose, in the context of any low power radio promo, but it was designed specifically to fit the theme of WVVY

Monkey on the Lam 7-15

Maury — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 23:17:57 +0000

Yes I know I haven’t put up last week’s yet. I did, however, make time to edit last night’s show, which I’m proud of because of the mostly-smooth transitions and near constant musical flow, something I am just starting to experiment with. Almost every song blended perfectly into the next and my interludes had background noise to take away from the complete silence of my speech.

Radio Wednesday July First

Maury — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 17:39:50 +0000

Here’s the Monkey on the Lam(b) show from last week. There’s an extra 15 or so minutes at the beginning in which I was very awkwardly interviewed by 2 girls from Brooklyn desperately seeking men and breast implants, I was a little bit thrown because I wasn’t prepared for the mania that would ensue upon appearing at the station, but it was fun, and I hope they’ll be there very often in the future, their show is hilarious.

New Monkey on the Lam flier

Maury — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 23:14:27 +0000

As I am (usually) a man of my word, I followed through with the design I’d been floating in my head. Overall it came out about how I wanted it to:

(click for a larger version)

If you like, you can also download the PDF in 300 dpi at 8.5 x 11 for printing.

I’m going to see how it looks on paper tomorrow, I hope it looks okay at 8.5 x 11, otherwise I might scale it to 11 x 17 (fortunately since it’s all font work, it’s easily scalable).

The design was inspired by a combination of elements. First: Chris, another DJ, has a flier for his show with a huge list of bands he plays on it, and I had always seen it and thought “I should display that kind of information somehow!” Second: there was a recent collection of grammy awards artwork that created portraits of band members with the song titles of some of the music that influenced them. It was neat, but the colors were fruity and it used a bunch of ugly fonts that just didn’t do it for me. I took the concept and did a “portrait” of my existing logo made entirely of band names. When all was said and done, it lacked a tiny bit of cohesion without the original tracing image behind it, so i lowered the opacity way down, blurred it out a bit, and left it in the background, for the trace of the original logo, to keep it more easily recognizable.

The general rule was that my favorite bands got larger billing, but in the end that occasionally went out the window, as I found myself remembering certain bands way after the fact and putting them in as an afterthought, not really wanting to rearrange the entire composition to fit them in. Still, most of the bands I like are here, although I overlooked a massive portion of my collection. Oh yeah, and I don’t think I repeated any names, I challenge you to find any (or a typo: hint – “zeigeist” is not a typo).

One more fun fact: there are 240 artists in the image. Those were hand selected (and hand typed, phew) from over 1300 or so artists in my collection.

I’ll probably find out tomorrow that there’s some kind of program that could’ve automated this process for me. Anyway… yay for wanking off on a sunday!

Monkey on the Lam is on the Lam

Maury — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 22:46:31 +0000

Monkey on the Lam, as of this week, will be moving to Wednesdays, and starting an hour earlier: at 7, to extend to 9 PM. It’s a better change all around for me: I can take it easier on my nights off from work and I get my 2 hour slot back. I’m excited. Of course this means I have to make a new flyer now, and I’ve had one mulling about in my head for quite some time, so that will be up here and around the neighborhood soon.

So be sure to listen to the stream over on wvvy.org or tune in 93.7 if you’re local.

MOTL 6-25-09: with Nate! With a Tribute to MJ

Wolfie: Strange Ways on June 17th

Here’s the Wolfie show from last week, editing when the computer bugs out with the recording is a pain, sorry it took so long, Wolfie fans

Monkey on the Lam 6-18-09: Lead into summer

Maury — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 22:12:38 +0000

Okay, update time. Finally got all this stuff together. More in a few moments

The “here comes summer” show. Unfortunately it fell on a rainy evening. Still, I’ll be pumping tunes like this out of my car all summer.

Features new stuff from Bibio

Neglected Radio

Maury — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 16:32:58 +0000

I have been slacking on the radio updates, so here are some.

2 hour show filling in for chris last week
1 hour MOTL (I’m not putting this one up for public consumption – but it’s available by request)
and 20 minutes or so of wolfie’s show from last week. Sorry wolfie, my computer failed in it’s task of recording you. It’s a jerk and I’m punishing it.

Hopefully the recording will go smoothly for Wolfie’s show today (assuming it’s happening, we haven’t talked about it) and I will be able to put it up tonight or tomorrow.

By the way, if you’re on the vineyard and you can make it to the tisbury street on fair July 8th, we’ll have stickers of the splattery vineyard logo, and magnets of the new logo, so hit it up.

Another year, another WVVY logo design

Maury — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 02:42:07 +0000

Minor changes may yet be made but I’m pretty satisfied, it shows up well at a distance, too.

(Click image for bigger version)

I figured the catch phrase could be something like “If only we had this many antennas, then maybe you could hear us!” or is that self defeating?

On that subject: my fill in from Chris’ show this week will be available soon, and a snippet of Wolfie’s show yesterday. Damn recording software bugged out on me so I was only able to get the last quarter of his show, sorry Wolfie.

Wolfie’s latest show

Maury — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 10:08:33 +0000

In the storm of my mind this weekend I forgot to put up Wolfie’s latest show, so here it is.

MOTL 5/28/09 – Oops. Half Episode.

Maury — Sat, 30 May 2009 14:28:20 +0000

Crap! I failed to record the first half of the show this week, I was distracted, all sorts of things were going on, some bastard kept calling the station and making irritating requests, it was just a mess. So anyway, I started halfway through and here is what I got.

Monkey on the Lam 5/28/09

Strange Monkeys Combo Show

Maury — Fri, 22 May 2009 02:37:36 +0000

Okay it’s really just my show with Wolfie added, we had a lot of fun, however. Here is the latest Monkey on the Lam. Crazy episode due to the fact that in the background I was also solving a virus problem on the station machine during the show. Praise Malwarebytes.

I have been slacking about blogging. Must fix this. Too damn Busy.

Listen here.
