electrical language will return

Posted on April 26, 2011 | 2 Comments

electrical language will re-launch in May 2011.

It’s been a difficult time.  My father in law died on Sunday after a long period of ill health.  I will regroup and refocus, and bring the podcast back on a regular basis.

what’s happening with electrical language?

Posted on February 27, 2011 | 3 Comments

If you listened to electrical language 223 you will have heard me talking about the end of the hosting arrangement with Libsyn.  The complementary hosting for the mp3 files that I have enjoyed for the last 5 years has now come to an end.I have just got my act together and paid $15 to purchase another month of hosting with Libsyn, but will be closing the account at the end of March.  At that point I will download the stats, which I will post here.

I have begun the process of re-uploading the mp3 files, which will now be on the servers at archive.org. I have just done this with podcast 223.  I have edited the page on this blog so that the download link no longer points to the mp3 file at Libsyn but to the location of the file at archive.org.

I have just negotiated with my son Richard (age 15) that for a fee equivalent to about six months hosting with Libsyn he will upload all the other mp3 files to archive.org and will edit the blog pages. While he is at it he will also copy the blog posts for the first 122 podcasts from the original blogger site onto this WordPress site so that all the pod casts can be found in one place. I expect that this process will take Richard two or three months.

Before the Libsyn account closes for good at the end of March I will change the feed burner feed. The new feed will be http://electricallanguage.wordpress.com/feed – I have checked this feed by subscribing to the podcast using iTunes, and have successfully downloaded podcast 223 from the archive.org location.  hopefully, if you subscribe to the podcast using iTunes you will see no change and everything will work smoothly and seamlessly. Well, I can but hope!

If any of you have any questions or suggestions about all this, please do feel free to get in touch. You can e-mail me at lectriclingo@gmail.com.

Very grateful thanks to Peter Cogle of pcpodcast for his time in talking me through various aspects of the process.

I will be back next week with electrical language 224.

by the way, if any of this post looks a little strange it is because I have admitted using a voice recognition software – DragonDictate 10 – and have missed something in the proof reading (I am not going to correct the errors in this paragraph exhibition mark).

A shorter podcast, as the last 2 long ones are taking a lot of space on the Libsyn server.  This week I bring you 6 new songs.  I have cleared out a lot of old stuff from my “audition list” and am stocking up with fresher material.  We start with 2 gentler songs by 2 of my favourite female vocalists, then build up, ending with a couple of great rock tracks by a local band.

Freer by Naked Woods

Boys Don’t Cry by The Endless

The Chameleon by Paul E. Phonics

One Night Stand by Mr Smith

Take Me Down and Grey by Gideon’s Demise


The soundbed music is Dansi Dans by For A Minor Reflection.  The title music is by Tragic Shell Suit Disaster.

Problems with podcast 221 now fixed

Posted on January 5, 2011 | Leave a comment

I was alerted this morning to the fact that the link to play no 221 did not work. After trying a few things unsuccessfully, I decided that I would have to upload the mp3 file to the Libsyn server again. Thankfully, that did the trick.

Apologies. But if you try again now, it should work.
