Take To The Stars!

Just saw Jack has been posting around about the line-up for Tuesday's show, so he has made my job easy this week ;-) :

This week on the Sonic Society!
The Starship Arbiter makes its first voyage across the heavens in Episode
#1 "Mutiny Springs Eternal" from Prometheus Radio Theatre
Afterwards we'll have an interview with some of the actors and writers of
this award winning SciFi epic and of course continue
with the next installment in the hilarious serial Robots of the Company by
DreamRealm Enterprises.
The Sonic Society sets sail every Tuesday night on CKDU 97.5 FM or on the
web at www.ckdu.ca from 9- 10:30 Atlantic Time.
Join us, won't you?
Jack



Only two more weeks and I won't have to grab the archives anymore! Wooooot! Of course, soon the time zone will be a-changing for the rest of the world too, so it will bring my favorite show a little bit closer to me too. :-)

Awesome findings by fellow addicts

You have all probably wondered what the music is now when you hit the page. It's coming from my new button on the side there, sent to me by my dear Wicked friend. What more appropriate place to put it than on the Addict's blog?

Soundseeing Tours






Another great place- MashUpTown... song mixing gone wild!







And finally, more mix-and-mash of some classic Beatles... there is one mixed with The Cure that is pretty groovy... yes I just wrote groovy...

Thanks to Christopher Stewart for that one! I'm sending this link to my Dad- he'll get such a kick out of it!




This should keep y'all entertained for awhile- at least until The Society begins! ;-)

My Search For An Irish Princess

Oh the pains to find the perfect visual aide for Tuesday's show- it's quite interesting the things that come up on a Google search. When all you type in is "Princess", or "Red-Hair" (now THAT was an interesting one. I think Iwas blushing a few times- and I'm alone in the house!) But I wanted to find something that personified the heroine in the main story on the Society, "Gormlaith, Princess of Ireland".



I'm not so sure about this first one. I mean I think I hit it with the red hair, but since I haven't heard the show yet I don't know if she was really a warrior or not.













Then I came acoss this one. Not bad, but too much fantasy with the dragon flying around. And the poor woman will probably need more clothes, being in Ireland and all...















Then I found this- which I suppose portrays the royalty a bit more. I like the dark hair better myself too...















Somewhere in my search this guy came up, and then I wasn't interested in Irish Princesses anymore....








That was two hours ago....


Ahem. What was I talking about? Oh- tomorrow's show. So, I can't wait to hear the interview afterwards and get Prof. Harvey's take on her story. Also, they are finally doing some Montage Theatre- it's about time! They would play some clips on Shadowlands every now and then- LOVE it! Then of course I get to giggle some more with the next installment of Robot's of the Company. :-)))


So, everyone TUNE IN! I'm going back to Ewan- erm.. I mean work.... *blush*

Aye Matty, The Yankee Clipper

On this last Tuesday night with popcorn in hand I settled into the best seat in the house and gave a listen to, "Yankee Clipper". A fine ship with a strong wind at her back on the hunt for another, The Black Arrow.

We have in this tale some hair raising excitement, and the sound values give it to you in stereo. The canvas of the imagination fills in the rest.

The background sounds give you the impression of being there. And the actors, at least the ones that get to proceed, give you the emotion of the story.

There are artifacts that hint of life, only seen by victims and scared witnesses. "The eyes were red I tell ya". Great stuff, Yankee Clipper. If this is what is afoot with the lads and ladies of Colonial Radio then I do so yearn to hear their interpretation of "Sleepy Hollow".

I will surely return next Tuesday for the next installment of Yankee Clipper and as last Tuesday I hope to have the addict as my companion once again.

What's Up With Gravity?

Teeheeee... oh this Robot's of the Company series just makes me giggle. And giggle. And giggle.

Oh it's so fun, and I was lucky enough to be able to ask the series creator, Jon Russell, about where he got the idea for the silly serial:

"ROTC came to me as one of those late night ideas you just get when you've been deprived of sleep and it just kinda hits you. We had had some major problems last year at about this time with a number of computer crashes which left DRE not being able to produce or release anything.

Once we got our systems back up and running, we couldn't really finish the projects we were working on until we got some back up copies of lines, as well as some retakes and such, so in the meantime, my hope was to do something quick, simple & reasonably funny to just put something out there so people knew we were, at least, still around. ROTC was the idea I came up with, and we ran with it. The first two episodes are the result of that.

This year we'd planned to go on with a short second season, but when Jack approached me to include something for Sonic Society, I decided to pitch ROTC at him, and he loved it! So, we settled on doing 13 episodes for our second season, and even now we're planning our third!"


Well I think it's great- and I certainly can't wait to hear more installments! I also am not surprised in the least that Jack loved it. :-)
(Did I mention that it was great to listen to the show at the appropriate time again? ) Yay!

Just like old times...


Look! Did you notice the time? It's halfway through the show- and I'M LISTENING!! Wooooot!

I even got my Tuesday night date Dave here. So it's alllllll good...

Oh my this Yankee Clipper story- how excellent! Ancient Egyptian curse and all... getting mauled by strange animals with glowing red eyes... OMG this is great!

More in a bit... still listening.... I miss listening this way.

Post-show recap so late it's PRE-show!

Hell I'm practically running over the next show I've gotten so behind! After spending much of this last week fund-raising for victims of hurricane Katrina, I sat down today and realized that although I listened to the show on Wednesday, I neglected to blog about it. Whoops!

So, quickly: last week's show rocked! A great beginning to the Society. The first two episodes of Soul Patrol were excellent. Very witty, certainly my kind of story. And remember how I said I was looking forward to Robots of the Company? Well, I found myself giggling through the entire thing.

But really, you need to listen for yourselves. Catch the archive of last week's show. The date- September 6. The time: 21:00-22:30.

Oh- and OMG did I mention the intro? AWESOME score! (See now you all just HAVE to listen!)

OK, so coming up on the next meeting of the Society, we get to take a trip across the seas in a tale from Colonial Radio Theatre. After the episode there is an interview with Jerry Robbins from Colonial Theatre, a sketch from Third Coast Live, then more of Robots of the Company!

All righty, that's it from here... see you all dancing on the airwaves Tuesday night!

The Big Day Arrives!

I swear, the only time I get this excited about something premiering is when the next season of "24" is about to begin! (January 9th, btw. Mark those calendars!)

It is finally time to unveil that new intro- because Sonic Society is beginning tonight! New intro, new music, new clean-cut format. And once again...

I have to catch the archive. Dammit. Would it be wrong to ask Arizona to switch to Atlantic time? LOL!

Well, it just means I will have to feel out the radio stations here, and help get these boys syndicated! Man, that would be something...



Anyway, I am very excited to hear the NEW and ORIGINAL shows lined up for this evening. Starting with The Soul Patrol, which is about a band of female "soul savers" who are out to create more good souls for heaven. A very intriguing story-line... I wonder if they could do anything with mine? ;-) After the first TWO episodes, there will be an interview with the series creator, David Koenigsberg.



Then comes the next series... from Dream-Relm Enterprises, we meet the Robots of the Company! I can hear Jack and Andrew giggling at me now, since they know I am not the world's biggest Robot-sci-fi-deep-space fan. (But do I dare mention to them that one of my favorite movies is "Galaxy Quest"?) So, being the eager huntress of a good story, and most definitely a new and original one, my ears are perked to hear what this series is about!

So... congratulations to my homies up in Halifax- it's been a long time coming. I know how hard they have worked to get this off the ground, and YAY that day is finally here! Hugs and Kisses to you both!

See you post-show!
