WPGU Extenze Parody Commercial

Most of the time, the advertising department at WPGU does a decent job producing advertising for clients. They struck gold with this parody of the awkward classic Extenze commercial created for Cowboy Monkey in downtown Champaign:

Much respect to the advertising department for executing this perfectly! Be sure to check out the original commercial to compare. The parody commercial played during my radio show, and I left it in the recording. I'm currently editing the recording from Radioactivity this weekend, I'm hoping to have it posted up today or tomorrow.

Apologies In Advance

I'd like to apologize in advance to everyone subscribed via RSS. I'm about to start transferring all my old tracklists from my Myspace Blog to this blog. I tested it once, and it showed up in the RSS even though the date was set way back to the show's date. So chances are, you'll see dozens of tracklists showing up in the RSS feed. Sorry! I'll try to make it quick and painless.

Announcing Radioactivity Streaming

I've added an option to stream the recorded radio shows using 1 Pixel Out's flash player. And big thanks to the 217Mafia for hosting the recordings. Keep an eye on that site, good things are coming.

So look for a little player at the top of each Radioactivity post that looks like this:

Tracklist Formatting - Need Input

I've decided to move all the old Radioactivity tracklists over to this blog, and start posting new ones here from now on. Also, I will begin hosting archives of the show, so if you missed the show one week, you can download it and listen later. In preparation for this transition, I've been thinking about changing the format of my tracklists. Here is the format I currently use:

01. "Kassiande" - Gorge - Freerange Records
02. "Till The Dawn" (MagBeat Remix) - D-Reflection - Total House
----- Flying Lotus "LA EP 2x3" Feature -----
03. "Infinitum" (Quarta 330 Remix) - Flying Lotus - Warp Records
04. "Grapesicles" (Samiyam Remix) - Flying Lotus - Warp Records
----------------------------------------------
05. "Gutter Music" - Starkey - Planet Mu
06. "Don't Mess About" - Crissy Criss - Sludge
07. "Pissed Off" - Kromestar - Dubstar
08. "Something Else" - Nero - Z Audio [requested]
09. "Sabacco" - Quarta 330 - Hyperdub

10. "Spliff Dub" (Rustie Remix) - Zomby - Hyperdub

Artists are in bold, request markers in italic, special segments in italics and set off in dash-lines (though special segments are rare), and numbers one through nine as 01-09 to match the space of double digit numbers.

The main thing I want to emphasize is the artist's name. I want to make it stand out, but I almost wonder if bold is too much. One option I was thinking of is actually making the artist's name into a link to the artist's website/myspace, like so:

01. "Kassiande" - Gorge - Freerange Records
02. "Till The Dawn" (MagBeat Remix) - D-Reflection - Total House
----- Flying Lotus "LA EP 2x3" Feature -----
03. "Infinitum" (Quarta 330 Remix) - Flying Lotus - Warp Records
04. "Grapesicles" (Samiyam Remix) - Flying Lotus - Warp Records
----------------------------------------------
05. "Gutter Music" - Starkey - Planet Mu
06. "Don't Mess About" - Crissy Criss - Sludge
07. "Pissed Off" - Kromestar - Dubstar
08. "Something Else" - Nero - Z Audio [requested]
09. "Sabacco" - Quarta 330 - Hyperdub

10. "Spliff Dub" (Rustie Remix) - Zomby - Hyperdub

I'm still not sure though... what do you think? Any suggested changes? I'm open to anything. A few more things that may be subject to change: quotes around the title, hyphens as dividers, order of elements, & linking record labels. Feel free to comment and give me suggestions!
