Also, check out this article: Former pilots, officials call for UFO probe and on top of asking yourself if we are in another UFO flap, wonder this: How the did this guy from Reuters get away with saying that they wanted a “UFO probe” ?
YEp. That’s right. Seattle Times felt it was important to tell the masses that we collect found sound from answering machine tapes we collect at thrift stores and yard sales. Read the article here. Isn’t that rad? If you happen to find tapes we would’ve gotten but you beat us to them, you should digitize them, and send them our way! We’ll air it on our radioo radioo.

Tune into Hollow Earth Radio this Monday form 8-11PM PST.
Despite having just five business days to prepare, community leaders from across the Northwest will travel to Seattle today to testify at the Federal Communications Commission’s final public hearing on media ownership. The hearing, which will take place from 4pm-11pm today at Town Hall Seattle, will allow members of the public a rare opportunity to weigh in on proposals that would dramatically change federal rules setting limits on consolidated media ownership. One significant proposed change would allow one media company to consolidate a town or city’s newspaper, TV and radio station under single ownership and single editorial control.
Hundreds are expected to attend the hearing, which will include opportunities for open-microphone public testimony on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information about the hearing and its schedule, visit www.reclaimthemedia.org.
Hollow Earth Radio hosted an on-air workshop and discussion about this FCC hearing last night. This workshop will re-air today at noon (PST) on Hollow Earth Radio, and is available to download here.
Thanks to Roger Fulton for cleaning up the audio and helping make this available.
The Federal Communications Commission is again attempting to rewrite America’s media ownership rules. Potentially, companies could be allowed to own more TV and radio stations, giving us more commercialism, less independent journalism and music, and fewer diverse voices on the air.
The FCC will hold a public hearing on the issue at Town Hall Seattle (1119 Eighth Avenue) on Friday, November 9th, from 4-11 pm, giving you an opportunity to voice your opinion. We are holding an on-air workshop tonight at Hollow Earth Radio to help people prepare to testify during this public hearing. Nathan James, Campaign Coordinator for the Media and Democracy Coalition, will lead this workshop. Even if you don’t testify, you will also learn more about what is going on with these upcoming decisions and participate in a discussion about this hearing. Those attending, arrive at 7pm. Those listening to this on-air workshop, tune in at 7:30pm PST Thursday, tonight.
Hollow Earth Radio recently acquired four old analog Reel to Reel machines and about a thousand old recordings from a nice fellow on craigslist giving away his entire collection. At the same time, Dj Jake who does Salt of The Earth (on Wednesday evenings here on Hollow Earth Radio) gave me all of the old Kilboy Fukbot recordings he personally owned, including a whole slew of reels that were otherwise forgotten.
I am now in a moral quandry, trying not to eat away my life digitizing all of this sound (I’ve limited myself to just one a night). Recently I’ve been in the mood to dig through these old Arcata recordings done by my friends under a whole slew of ridiculous band names (The Boont Dusties, Kilboy Fuckbot, Kill Your Darlings, Fucktopia, the Panda Tears, etc.) here are three I’ve made available for download.
These are all recordings of Kilboy Fuckbot, a rotating lineup of friends who just wanted to rock out and not worry too much about actual song structure. A lot of this is inebriated and hard to listen to, but it’s ever so nostalgic for me. After someone saw us play in an old victorian it was rumored that they said of the band “It’s a lot more fun to be in a noise band then to listen to a noise band”. That’s probably true.
Here are three recordings for your perusal:
1. Ryan Pintar giving a speech on Kilboy Fukbot music theory.
2. Song sung by Jenny B, about strungout drug addicts.
3. Kilboy Fukbot, live in my bedroom with me totally drunk and screaming ridiculous lyrics and putting the mic right up to the amp a lot.

Enjoy, there shall be more! And if anyone wants to come help digitize our wierd collection of music, drop us a line!
