2011, Week 15: On time with higher fidelity

On the technical side, I'm not sure what, if anything, you will notice of this, but we just changed the stream server we'd been using and the new site lets us stream the originating music at a higher bitrate than we'd been using before. Now what this means for the bitrate we use to record the podcast isn't much (we're still recording this at 128 kbps) but now it's being down-sampled instead of straight across, so there might be a slight improvement in what you hear. Of course, if you were to come to The Drunken Drow in SL on Wednesday nights from 8-10 Pacific Time, you would be able to hear the difference directly.

Regardless, here's what you missed by not being there yourself:

  1. Coin-Operated Boy by The Dresden Dolls
  2. Transverse by Darklily
  3. These Arms Of Mine by Angelzoom
  4. Cochise by Audioslave
  5. Behold the Machine by Vernian Process
  6. My Baby by Balkan Beat Box
  7. Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life by Emilie Autumn
  8. Letters Between a Little Boy And Himself As An Adult by Abney Park
  9. The Iron Foundry by Alexander Mosolov
  10. The Dole Of The King's Daughter (Remix) by Caprice
  11. Sirens of Atlantis by Galactic Caravan *
  12. Kicking and Collecting  by Carptree
  13. In the Back Seat by Arcade Fire
  14. Peter Lorre Overture by The World/Inferno Friendship Society
  15. The Ballad Of Black Jack Jezebel by The Clockwork Dolls
  16. The Tragic tale of Peter Scarecrow by Mister Joe Black
  17. Dr. Who Theme (2005) by Murray Gold
  18. Memory, Uncaring Friend by Black Tape for a Blue Girl
  19. Ode to Revenge by Dr. Steel
  20. A Celtic Morning by Cruachan
