I posted the 12 minute interview that Joe and I did with Andrew WK. It's pretty outrageous! He goes off in many directions. Also, I love how you can hear so many "likes and ums" because we were both so god damn nervous. I did edit out a few. There is also a lot of background noise but... oh well. He is a nice guy and significantly smarter than you'd expect from someone who penned a song with a title "Party Til You Puke." Then again, maybe you need to be a genius to name a song that.

I also uploaded another recording of the show. I think of the two posted (MATT KUDOS!) this may be better fidelity. The recording was done in the center of the room in the back away from the crowd. There is no peaking and the condenser mic was pretty decent. Also, I put some compression on the master track and tried to EQ it a bit. It is pretty decent and cleaner than you might expect!!!

Also finally, Julia McKinley took some pretty amazing photos of the show for ROCU. Here is the link to her photo blog with some of them. Also below is my favorite.

Shit- I lost the best recording of an Andrew W.K. concert at Clark University contest.
ReplyDeleteBut no- Kudos to you!! It sounds just about as good as it could have. I totally made the mistake of not lowering the levels before setting mine up.
The interview is so entertaining. You're keeping it an audio interview, right? I'd hate to transcribe that- the guy can sure elongate an answer. I think my brain may have exploded multiple times while listening.
And that's an absolutely insane photo! So cool
