As much as I love doing VG Frequency, it's pretty relaxing to know that I don't have the personal responsibility to prepare shows every week over the summer. On the downside of course, I don't get to do my share of pimping out music from around the community during the summer, but I can't wait to be back in September to continue doing the show. Now that I can record VGF myself in high-quality MP3s all week, I've gotten so much more exposure for the show, and I thank all of the people from the US, Canada, Sweden, Finland, England and wherever else all checking it out thanks to the forums here as well as Ormgas.com linking to info about the show. While it would have been great to have this show back in 2000 or 2001, the community-at-large has risen to higher standards thanks in large to the increased standards of OverClocked ReMix's submission process, and I think doing this show starting in 2003, when those remix standards are loftier, is a big part about why the majority of the music on VG Frequency is of such high quality (with the exception of course being anything played by Digital Coma). The music of Season 3 of VGF will only continue to impress, and I hope more and more people will enjoy what we've got to offer. When I say "we," it's because so many people of the community have been generous with their time and appreciation for what VGF is doing. Thanks to everyone for continuing to support the show and tuning in Saturday nights. A lot more people are aware of the show than ever, and I've gotten to know even more artists and fans than before. A big part of that is in part to the people who have called in for interviews and/or just chilling on the air, those who hang in the chat room or make bumpers, and those who make sure to ask me to play their material or give me the heads up on new stuff they're working on. There are literally too many people to list, but I'm glad you're all there. Let's not forget the April Fool's show this year, highlighted with the legendary prank calls of Dan Baranowsky, as well as the cult following of Jim Holland and the three remixes Mr. Holland's appearences have inspired (Tasteful, Shitty Judge Faggot, Krisham's Auntie). You guys can feel free to selfishly pimp yourselves here in the thread. It's my pleasure to have all of you contribute to VGF every week, and I enjoy being more knowledgeable and appreciative about what goes on in the community. Please download the last three episodes of VG Frequency of the Spring 2004 season, if you haven't done so already and check out what the deal is. Once I'm done hosting those episodes, I'll finally host the full playlists of every episode I've ever done, along with some AIM interviews and various extras that I'm hoping to add to my WMRE website area. Maybe at some point, we can also get a torrent system set up to offer up all of the available episodes. VGF will drop every Saturday night, 10 to Midnight EST once we hit September. I hope y'all continue to support to show as we wait for episode #30 to roll around! - Larry Oji VG Frequency #27 MP3 (3hr10min/130MB) featuring Debotron & Bagel Fuzzynuts VG Frequency #27 AIM chat transcript VG Frequency #27 Post-Show MP3 (20min/14.3MB) featuring Debotron & Bagel Fuzzynuts The LEGENDARY VGF remix, "Shitty Judge Faggot" VG Frequency #28 MP3 (2hr40min/112MB) VG Frequency #28 AIM chat transcript VG Frequency #29 MP3 (4hr/164MB)

No transcript, foo'. There was no webstream available for the live broadcast, so I recorded this one on my own.

I'll talk to Binnie & Species about seeing what the rest of us can do to make the idea work, since I know Binnie was willing to seed VGF #24 (April Fool's, beytoch!). And, yeah, I didn't get to thank DarkeSword as much as I wanted to, but thanks to Shariq for a provocative interview on a fairly touchy debate in the community here, i.e. remix commercialization. That was definitely a very informative 20 minutes or so. For all of you folks out there, VG Frequency #29 (4hr/164MB) is a thank you of sorts to everyone who's been a fan of the show. I recorded it on my own yesterday evening, and it's an internet-only finale to one year/two seasons of the show. Making sure to pick no artist twice, I've picked one song from each of the shows I've done over the past year, including the random shows, and I've dropped comments on each of the tracks. You'll get the gist of it as you listen to the episode. I hope all of the shows released in the past week will do until the summer, and I'll give the big thank you sometime late in the week. Meanwhile, please enjoy VGF #29, spotlighting some of the best music VGF has had to offer: Larry Oji - WMRE (Emory University Student Radio; Atlanta, GA) "VG Frequency" - Saturday, May 8, 2004 / 11 PM - 3 AM EST Note: The playlist is numbered to connote which episode of VG Frequency each track represents.

Yo bros. I've had time to finish up the backlogged episodes of VG Frequency. Start things off by picking up the 20-minute post-show to VG Frequency #27 featuring Debotron & Bagel Fuzzynuts. I'm not sure what happened to the part where Justin & Austin presented me with the Girls Gone Wild tape, so I'll have to check for that footage when I head back to ATL in August. Nonetheless, enjoy some of my ladyfriends calling in and commenting on Bagel's horndoggery as well as Tron giving us the lowdown on how he made the LEGENDARY VGF remix, "Shitty Judge Faggot." (Episode #27's MP3 and AIM chat transcript are still up for DL as well.) Then check out the AIM chat transcript of VG Frequency #28 as well as the 2hr40min/112MB MP3 available as well. The playlist is finally available for you to disseminate, and I apologize for the delay. Enjoy, folks.

Aight bros, I'm afraid I don't have the webstream available for this Saturday, but I wanted to do a quick last show for the semester, so I'll still be handling that tomorrow, and hopefully can release #27's Post-Show, #28 & #29 to satisfy you guys for the next few months. #30 is coming in September. I'll do a big thank you for everyone once I go home this Tuesday, but short and sweet, I appreciate everyone who's had a hand with the success of the show. I hate all of you deeply!

No worries yo; I've got the 40 minute after-show part saved on the station computer and I'm gonna be releasing that soon as well. I'd never dump such a touching tribute!

My finals finished up late Tuesday, so I've finally gotten the chance to edit up VG Frequency #27 from 2 weeks ago. Check out the 3hr/130MB show featuring Bagel Fuzzynuts & Debotron guest hosting as well as the AIM chat transcript over at http://webdrive.service.emory.edu/users/loji. I'll be hanging out at the studio editing up last week's VG Frequency #28 so I can try and get that out sometime soon, so be on the lookout for that. I'm not sure if I can do #29 this coming Saturday as the webstream is down, and the lady whose computer I remotely connect to to tinker with the stream has logged out of the comp. If it's back up, and everything's in place, I'll do another show this Saturday to absolutely wrap things up until September, or maybe even do an internet only-release with my girls as guest hosts, who knows. In any case, Debo & Bagel have been waiting on this one for a while, so I'm sorry I couldn't get it out sooner, but here it is. For all the details, enjoy the VGF27 playlist below: Larry Oji - WMRE (Emory University Student Radio; Atlanta, GA) "VG Frequency" - Saturday, April 24, 2004 / 10:10 PM - 1:20 AM EST 0.

Oh sure. I'll get right on it, Steve. Why do you sit down and write my Presidency paper tonight. And don't forget to study for my Criminology final for Tuesday. The best way to prepare yourself for college next August is to do my work for me.

Assuming you have a download manager, I don't see why you didn't tell me sooner to put #25 back up instead of deleting a 92% complete download; ah well; it's back up. If you finish #25 soon, lemme know, and I can put up #22 and/or #23.

Believe it or not, NJ, 30MB. You people better tune in!

I'll see if I can host both at the same time. I may get to them around May 6th, May 7th, May 8th, whenever I can find time before I pack up. Hopefully one of my girls will be nice enough to offer me the use of her webspace for a few weeks.

This is pretty interesting, Fusion. Does this have an actual title? I'd need something like that for the playlist record. Just wanna give more info on my status with releasing VGF #27. I still have one paper and one final left, so I'm not done until May 5th. I'm really sorry for the delay on everything, but college comes first, as I'm sure a lot of the rest of you out there understand. I head home on May 11th, so expect both VGF #27 and VGF #28 available sometime before I fly home to New Haven, CT. Again, sorry for the hold-up, but that's real life for ya.

It's up, yo. Sorry, didn't know you needed it.

I've essentially been away for 30 hours just working on my paper, so I only have a little time now to put up VGF #21 before I try and finally finish this stupid thing; it's available (of course) at http://webdrive.service.emory.edu/users/loji As for the Zelda WIP, Fusion, I'll check it out sometime tomorrow I hope. Hope it doesn't sound General MIDIish or anything.

NJ, I still need to know your status... Can I switch to VGF #21 yet?

http://webdrive.service.emory.edu/users/loji - NJ and anyone else interested can pick up VGF #25. The playlist is available here.Once NJ finishes that, I'll host VGF #21 for him, which is the first high-bitrate recording of the show I've got.

To answer Fusion's question, I typically don't play WIPs, but have no particular problem playing WIPs when the work is nearly complete (i.e. the song structure sounds complete, there's no abrupt cutoff, and/or tweaks are only needed before the final release). I appreciate the lookout, Spec. You can certainly do that if you want, but you don't have to. I don't wanna give off the impression of "Hey, I don't want the show to be released soon," because I feel bad I couldn't get it out there soon like I typically want to, but at the same time, you don't need to feel obligated to host a lower-quality MP3 if it's any bother. If you'd be able to and it wouldn't be a problem for you, you can certainly go for it.

Ha! Yeah, sorry about the hold-up bro. In the meantime, I put up VGF #23 again for TCK, since he couldn't get it last time around. http://webdrive.service.emory.edu/users/loji - The playlist can be found at the bottom of page 33 of this thread, if you're interested. NJ, if you're missing that episode, go ahead and DL that too; It'll be up at most until I have time to do #27 on Friday night. TCK will be finished downloading VGF #23 by tomorrow; if anyone has a show request to be put up during the week, lemme know. NJ has priority if he's missing any episode other than #23.

The quicker you post it, the quicker I find out what all I said. Big thanks again for having us on, Larry; we had a blast. edit: Species, did you get me dancing behind Larry when I had my shirt off? I'm really sorry everyone, but with a paper and final coming up at the end of the week, I unfortunately don't have time to make and release the MP3 of the show until at least late Friday evening. I know Austin & Justin are really looking forward to it, but there's no way I can realistically take the time to get the episode out and sacrifice the time I need to write a 20-page paper (due Friday) and study for my first final (also on Friday). My apologies, bros. I still have to check out how the videotape of the show came out. The ending of the show may have been cut off just a little bit, since we ended just after 1:45 AM (when the tape was set to stop recording). When I can, I'll try and get a quick look of that to see how it came out.

Debo & Bagel just left to head back to UGA about 30 minutes ago. Everyone had a great time at the show, they chilled over at my apartment while Bagel showcased his backyard wrestling skills, met some of my ladies including Paige, and stopped by the video game party over at Electron's apartment. I also gotta thank the bros for the autographed Girls Gone Wild video. Myself, my roommates and my ladies (well, whatta ya know) will all enjoy it frequently. Big thanks to Justin & Austin for making the lil' trip down to Emory to help host the show, as well as all the callers. I'm busy with finals and papers, so I'll do the playlist and MP3 when I can. Hopefully, I won't have to post those TOO late in the week.

Bagel & Debo are on the way, but they'll be a little late, so I'm pushing the start time back to 10:30 PM EST. Really sorry for the delay, folks.

(I need this as a reminder to have my girlies tape this week's show.) BTW, unless I sneak in a show on May 1st, this coming Saturday's show will be the last one of the semester. I'm letting my guests pick a significant amount of the material so I apologize in advance if anyone doesn't get a particular track played.

Last night's show (3 1/2 hrs - 145MB), along with the AIM chat transcript is now available to check out at my webspace. Thanks a hell of a lot to Electron for joining the show as my guest host. It was definitely hilarious having Raul on-the-air along with the dumb phone calls we took, and he provided bueno tracks and requests along with some old-school insight to how OCR was back in 2000. Thanks also to DarkeSword & Jared Hudson for phoning in as well. Debotron, Bagel Fuzzynuts, kLuTz are planned for next Saturday, so I'll hope to get that going, as that should be a great show. I'll be keeping it light on the requests next week, since I wanna leave a lot of room for my guest hosts to request stuff, plus we all wanna head over to the video game party over at Electron's apartment after the show next week.

My man Raul Gonzalez, a.k.a. Electron, is gonna be guest-hosting for tonight's show, so it'll be twice the Emory goodness. I'll be playing both remixes and originals from Raul; feel the MIDI excitement! And because he's gonna be kicking it old-school, Raul will also be showcasing 3 of his favorite old-school OC ReMixes back when he frequented OCR in 2000, and they're excellent selections as well. With the exception of Reuben Kee's new Shemue remix, I've already played everyone of the 5 newly posted OC mixes this week, so I'll be freeing up room for Raul and other remix material. I'll be having Debotron, Bagel Fuzzynuts and kLuTz next week as long as things work out; some parties on both of our sides came up, so we decided to push things back. Plus next week Raul is having a video game party at his apartment, so we'll all be hitting that up after the show, which works out even better. Hope to see you peeps tonight.

The links are here on page 43 for anyone interested. Blue & ravon of Ormgas.com were nice enough to link to my WMRE Show Spotlight from the site, and I just provided a quick little button for Ormgas's banner exchange. I won't be hosting the button on my space forever, but if anyone interested in throwing a link my way through the uploading of the button and some linkage from their own webspace it's certainly appreciated. I still have to iron out details with Bagel, Debotron & kLuTz about next Saturday and when to come over to Emory, and I'll definitely try and see if sephfire is around as well. Meanwhile, there's going to be a video game lock-in at Electron's/Raul's apartment after the show and I'll hopefully be heading over to that once the show is done, so it may just be a 2 hour show or maybe just a short after-party. Hopefully everyone can come along; we'll see how it goes!
