Uh oh. Where's the tapes?

thesummercountry@gmail.com (Isaiah Kallman) — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 21:15:00 +0000

So we released our first cassette to little fanfare last week. Instead of trumpets, it sounded like your nephew humming through wax paper on a comb. But hey, it's fun to release things, right?

Then we accidentally left our box of cassettes at the Little Hamilton Collective. I called them, but they don't know where they are.

So if you see someone who has our cassette, and their names are not Joshua, Vance, Grace, or Landon, then please ask them where they got it and let us know.

Question: Are tapes really a theft-risk? Tooooooo funny!

Bring Back Cassettes!

During my freshman year of college, I wrote a song called "Something Simple". The chorus went:

Bring back cassettes
Something simple
From my youth
That I hold onto
Analog is not so bad
To convert, just press the tab

Now, ten years or so later, I'm releasing my first cassette. It'll have three songs recorded by Grayson Harper. They are:

1. A History Lesson At The End Of The World
2. Don't Love It So
3. Withe

The songs are pretty short, yeah. So if you buy this cassette, you may wonder why it's on a 45-minute tape instead of a more appropriate 15-minute tape. Turns out cassette production is still a little backed up from the Tsunami hitting Japan. Because of this, we have considered the title "The Japanese Disaster Edition". I think it has a nice ring to it, release-title-wise.

We'll have it available at our show with the Skies Revolt and Spoken Nerd at the End on Wednesday, October 5. And if any copies are left, you can get them the next night at 1318 Little Hamilton when we play with Van Couver (featuring former members of Foxhole, the Tide, the Spats, and Ill Patriot. So a supergroup, basically), Ozenza, and Lights At Sea (Both from Michigan, and both awesome).

Hope you all have tape players.

Let's see if this works...

Okay, per Clark's suggestion, We'll see if soundcloud.com will be able to do what we need to get this thing rolling. But it worries me. It looks like they have upload limitations as well. If I delete an old podcast to make room for the new, will iTunes make a cutting motion with their hands and use an Eastern Bloc accent to say "NO!"

Just trying to figure it out. But in the meantime, I guess you can listen to episode two, recorded way the heck back in April.

Episode Two.

Podcast Episode Two by The Summer Country

What's The Holdup?

thesummercountry@gmail.com (Isaiah Kallman) — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 22:30:00 +0000

So after I put in all the time looking through tutorials and creating accounts on different sites, our podcast came to a standstill. Why? Because apparently some things labeled free have sneaky limitations. Like when Podbean has free audio hosting but then limits the amount you can upload at once. Has anyone heard of that before? I haven't.

"Here's your new four bedroom house. Sorry if you can't fit into the doors. Suckers."

I don't expect tons of people to stop by a nearly un-used weblog. But if by some miracle you're reading this and know how to help us get this podcast off the ground, please email us at thesummercountry@gmail.com or tweet us @summercountry.

We'll talk.

Coming up!

thesummercountry@gmail.com (Isaiah Kallman) — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 18:37:00 +0000

On our next episode, we'll talk with Luke Lancaster of Humphrey Street Coffee about his work in South Nashville. We will also introduce our (semi?) regular Beer Appreciation segment with Bounty Beverage's Better Beer Guy Kurt Strickmaker.

Stay tuned!
