Ahhh good times to be had with Jack and his Rod. These are the singers from the band Dead Milkmen. (That band name alone warrents it's own blog post, I mean... who names a band after their deceased father? That's just sorta creepy ;p )
The following conversation is from their killa' song 'Bitchin Camaro.' Enjoy!
"Hey Jack, what's happening?"
"I dunno."
"Well, uh, rumor around town says you might be thinking of going down to the shore."
"Uh, yeah. I think I'm going to go down to the shore."
"What are you gonna do down there?"
"Uh, I dunno. Play some video games, buy some Def Leopard T-Shirts."
"Don't forget your Motley Crew T-Shirt. You know all proceeds go to get their lead singer out of jail."
"Uh, huh."
"Can't wait to go down. Hey, uh, you gonna check out the sand bar while you're down there?"
"Uh, what's the sand bar?"
"Ah, it's a place that lets 16 year old kids drink."
"Ah, cool."
"Yeah, hey, guess who's going to be there?"
"Ah... who?"
"My favorite cover band: Crystal Shit."
"Wow!"
"Yeah they do a Door's show. You'd be really impressed. In fact it goes a little like this: 'Love me two times baby, love me twice today. Love me two times girl, cause I got aids. Love me two times baby, once for tomorrow, once cause I got aids.' (Pretty good Jim Morrison impression there. I hope those guys have a good sense of humor and don't take us into court.)
"Uh, what's the court?"
"Nevermind that. The important thing here is that we get to the part where that you ask me how I am going to get down to the shore."
"Oh, how you gettin' down to the shore?"
"Funny you should ask. I've got a car now."
"Ah wow! How did ya get a car?"
"Ah, my folks drove it up here from the Bahamas."
"You're kidding..."
"I must be, the Bahama's are islands. Okay, the important thing here is that you ask me what kind of car it is."
"Uh... uh... what kind of car do ya got?"
"I've got a bitchin Camaro!"

Ahh... to be young again... wait I am still young...

Ahh... to be young and innocent again... wait... grrr these guy's don't seem that innocnent. Hrm.

Ahh... the crazy days of high school. You have to love anything that takes you back to the days of you and you're buddy having one focus: fun. Nothing will quite be like those days so absent of responsibility and full of such mischief and questing for the next great excuse to act completely crazy.
I am not sure if everyone has such fond memories, but my best friend Jon and I used to make 'pilgramiges' down to Gray Whale CD-Exchange right when we turned 16 and I got my 1st car. Most of our conversations were quite like this, well, minus the completely stoned tone of voice, but close. The style of this song is often what we searched for amoung the bins of used CD's, and when we found one that we loved, then a quest to see them in 'concert' in some underground location. And we were excited, just as Rod and Jack are here in going down to the shore.

Very interesting and creative. You showed a true new media conversation. I like that there are different audio clips...with text accompanying them. You have good style and good flow. Maybe some kind of background could clear things up, but that might also take away from the kind of conversation that is going on. Good things
This was cool, it seemed like you were thinking outside of the box for this one. I can't think of anything to change, it was straight forward and entertaining.
Awesome post, things like that are fun to come across in a blog, and they keep you coming back.
I enjoyed the post. However, because I have a serious lack of technical knowhow, I found myself constantly distracted by wanting to know-how. Worked very well, and where do I go, or what do I do to learn how to...blah, blah. Nothing more to say about your post; thought it was great!
I liked the use of audio clips. Interesting to hear what the people say as well as read it. Would be interesting to see the same thing with a more personal conversation or one that was personally recorded and then broken apart as you've done with the song. Very cool idea.
This could be fun to manipulate and play with. It was choppy dialog, but if strategically clicked, you could create different paced audio dialog. It was entertaining.
Very fun! I think that the use of text and audio was an excellent choice as it not only allows us to access what is being said, but perhaps at greater depth than listening alone.
However, there is no analysis by the author, in this case: you. What we have, instead, is editing. The tough part here is how will we get your thoughts into this conversation?
Will you add audio commentary? build a column alongside, explaining the conversation? Perhaps use different colored text?
For your revision think of a way to include your thoughts or explanation as well.
Very enjoyable and it was something that most people wouldn't have thought of for an assignment like this so it's also unique. Plus, after a person goes through it, they could spend a minute or two tinkering around with the audio by changing the order of the conversation.
For my revision, I decided to simply edit the current post. Due to the imbedded audio, I thought it would take too long for the page to load if it had twice as many clips to cache.
Putz... your photo's blog are very crazy and funny... I'm actor, but I study culinary too. is interessant your lifestyle. rs
