05/18/07 Weird Al Takes Over Y-rock In Phlly

[KnottyEmily]

Can someone please record it?

[weirdalisthephantomoftheopera]

I would like if someone could record it as well because I will be in school at that time and I don't think my math teacher would let me use his computer to listen to Al when we have a math test the next day.

[Mariel]

I was able to record the show and am in the process of uploading it.

A couple of notes on the file:
Since there were very few commerical spots, the file ends up being 101.8 MB (with a track length of 1:51:08). This includes the introduction by Joey O, the interview, Al's DJ spots, the music, and the conclusion by Joey O. (Oh, Joey O also does an intermission bit on the hour.) If you guys want to me to upload an edited version (which will only contain Joey O's intro, intermission, and conclusion; the interview; and Al's DJ bits) give me a holler.
Edit: You know what, I decided to upload the edited version after looking at the sheer file size again of the unedited version. This version should be easier for the dial-up users. I also just test this link, and it should work.

On second note, due to the nature of recording this file (placing a microphone in front of speakers) the sound is very quiet. You will have to crank up the volume to hear it.

Edit: Enjoy. Weird Al takes over Y-Rock Tell me if this doesn't work.

Thank you so much for putting that up!

[weirdalisthephantomoftheopera]

Thanks! What is the difference between the regular and edited versions?

[Mariel]

Thank you so much for putting that up!

No problem.

Thanks! What is the difference between the regular and edited versions?

The edited version is missing the music that Al played (though I did add a few seconds of beginning and ending songs of each section).

Edit: Looks like I'm not a newbie anymore. #27!

[weirdalisthephantomoftheopera]

Oh, thanks for clearing that up. I'm having fun getting into Al's favorite music.

[CatraDhtem]

I was able to listen to the "repeat" today and enjoyed it immensely. Even though it would no doubt seriously cut into his recording and touring time, I would definitely be up for a regularly scheduled block of Al-programmed music, even if he just left it on autopilot and eschewed an on-air role as deejay.

[algonacchick]

I missed the first 1/2 hour on the original air date, but I did enjoy the show. My favorite block was when he played House of Fun, Mixed Bizness, Pump It Up and Superman. Awesome! I'm gonna check out Mariel's link so I can hear what I missed. Thanks for putting that up, Mariel!

[lugarman]

The regular version doesn't work for me.
