Thirty Three and a Third Cents a Pound Episode 10 (May-June 2013)

Yes! 'Twas a long time in the making -- including recording the whole episode and then completely scrapping and redoing it -- but Episode 10 of the All New Thirty Three and a Third Cents a Pound has arrived. At the beginning of the year I set out to do 10 episodes of a radio show podcast, and I achieved my goal. If I may get cheesy for a moment ... it feels really good to not only do the radio show again, but to do 10 full episodes and to have done a good job mixing, recording, producing, and, yes, even talking. I absolutely love the feeling of being "on the air" again, and I really appreciate all the friends (and strangers) who have supported me in this endeavor!

SkiDog - Thanks for keeping me on task even when certain distractions got in the way. Listening "live" with you Saturday mornings was awesome, and your running commentary remains unparalleled.

Caitlinn - Thanks for all your feedback and music recommendations. Double thanks for spreading the word, and, most importantly, thanks for just enjoying the show and appreciating my hard work.

JJ - Thanks for filling my life with so much good music back in the day and for all the encouraging facebook posts when I started doing Thirty Three and a Third Cents a Pound again at the beginning of the year.

Jaimee - I don't think you actually listened to any of the episodes, but that's ok because most of the music is from you! I had no idea how much music I have from you until I started doing this.

Avniel - Your extensive collection was also well represented in these 10 return episodes of 33 1/3 Cents a Pound. I'm really glad I got to burn binders of your CDs before burning binders of CDs stopped being cool.

Your support means a lot...

This show features Issa Bagayogo, Big Boi, Infected Mushroom, and the Presets, among others, and most of the show is mix-segued. This episode has less variety than usual, but still explores the depths of aural possibilities and is, of course, banging to the end. I think the Infected Mushroom hip-hop mash-ups turned out great. That part was all improvised.

Who did a Google search for What's 33 1/3 Cents?

I'm really curious who did a google search for "What's 33 1/3 Cents" .... 

Thirty three and a third revolutions per minute refers to the speed of the turntable while playing back records. If you've ever heard of a "45" that refers to those tiny little records, which are played 45 revolutions per minute, a different setting on the turntable.

I came up with the name Thirty Three and Third Cents a Pound my freshman year in college when I started doing the radio show ... and it stuck!

Or click here to listen on the mixcloud site.  Mobile users -- download the Apple mixcloud app or the Android Mixcloud App and follow JoeSoHeady (that's me.)  Here's some background about the program.

This week's show features an excellent variety of music representing different eras, genres, and cultures. The program is all about sharing great music that I've been fortunate enough to listen to over the last 12 years (since I previously did my radio show). So many great friends have shared so much music with me -- and I'm packaging it up in this format for everyone else to enjoy.

Episode 04 features German dub duo Boozoo Bajou, dynamic hip-hop duo Red & Meth, funky soul duo Sam & Dave, a medley of Gramatik, plus Adele, Brenda Holloway, several songs called 'Fire,' listener comments, and much more...

Press play below!



Years ago, when people used to trade burned CDs, people would give me all kinds of music. For the most part, I would stash it away somewhere and never listen to it. Eventually, though, I would give the disc a whirl -- or put it in iTunes and let it come up randomly. And most of what people gave me turned out to be good stuff!  Girlfriends, roommates, tour rats, promoters, neighbors...everyone wanted to share their music with me.

So now I'm sharing it back out by way of a radio show podcast. Since I personally don't have the licensing rights to broadcast copyright music (or make it available for download) I use mixcloud to post my show.

How I Do the Show

I use some very basic hardware and software to record and produce the radio show podcast. There are plenty of tools available for people to do this kind of thing. You can take a really simple, straightforward approach, or you can get really complicated with it and create a whole radio studio in your house -- whatever approach works best for you.

Since I used to do an actual live radio show on WRCT in college (which is not your average college radio station; they broadcast within a 15 mile radius, reaching over a million people in SWPA) and would like to do a live stream or show again, I want to replicate the live process when I record my show.  Recording the show ahead of time and "broadcasting" on mixcloud is much easier, avoids legal restrictions, and costs nothing. Streaming/broadcasting music live is a much more complicated story, on many levels, so I'm avoiding that for now.

Even though I record, edit, and "produce" the show, I try to only do things that could be done on a live show by myself. For example, adding an echo effect to my voice when I introduce a song is easy to do live, so I feel like I can include that kind of production work in the recorded version. There are two main steps in my process: recording the music part and recording my talking part. I don't do anything with the music in the recorded version that I wouldn't do in a live radio show. I  just play and record the music part (including the promos), then listen to it and record the vocal part (me talking). 

Virtual DJ on the left has a song loaded on each turntable and the promos in the sampler on the bottom. You can see my iTunes playlist on the right, from which I just have to drag the song to VDJ.
The playlist includes valuable information like the artist, album, year, genre, BPM, etc.


My brother got me this
Blue Snowball Microphone.


For the music part, I use iTunes and Virtual DJ (see the picture). First I make a playlist in iTunes, which I'll use as a rough outline of what I want to play on the show. Then I play and record the songs and promos using software called Virtual DJ, which provides 2 turntables with beat matching and looping, a mixer, and a sampler -- and the ability to record the whole thing. You drag a song on to the left deck, then hit record to start recording. Press play on the song on the left and drag a new song to the deck on the right. Get ready to press play when the first song ends. You can use the mixer to fade the volume of each song up and down. Pre-cueing is a key feature. While one song is playing over the speakers, you can listen to the next song in your headphones to get it ready. The software has beat matching and some other great features for quality DJing. I use the sampler to play all the promos: the little snippets that say "You're listening to thirty three and a third cents a pound" in a funny voice or whatever.

Next I use a free audio editing program called Audacity that is pretty common. I load the music part of the show and then record my vocal parts to go along with it. I use a snowball microphone to record my voice, which works great. To make the timing easier, I mark the music track (see picture below) in two ways. 



The music is the top half; my vocal snippets are on the lower half.
You can label different spots in the track, for example where to start talking.
First I mark a good spot to start talking. But the most important thing, in my opinion, is to know exactly when to stop talking -- right before the song really kicks in, or "drops," so to speak. That could be just the beginning of the song, or it might be 30 seconds into it when the vocals start. Maybe there's a gradual build up and then the key melody starts playing. So I try to talk up until that point. This is definitely something I can do live. A good DJ would be familiar with the song and just know when to stop talking. Or I can cheat and mark/label these spots in the song in Virtual DJ.

You can alter the volume if certain parts came out too loud or too quiet, and when it's all done you export it as an .mp3 or .wav file and there you have your podcast ready to upload. I upload mine to mixcloud and then post here on blogger, facebook, twitter, etc.
