Production Notes For Number Thirty!
November 8, 2007 by Rudy PanucciIt’s hard to believe Radio Free Charleston has hit 30. It’s all downhill from here. The knees will go. The hair will get thinner and grayer. The show will have to go to the doctor regularly for all kinds of invasive examinations. But let’s concentrate on the positive things. Radio Free Charleston episode 30, “Freedom Of Choice Shirt,” is online now, and it’s jam-packed with great music and weird stuff.
Our musical guests are singer-songwriter Mark Bates, recorded live at the Unity Open Stage, The Voo Doo Katz, recorded live at the La Belle Theater, and RFC regular John Radcliff, performing in the kitchen at LiveMix Studio. We also feature animation and the first installment of “The Android Family.”
Rad sends word that he will probably be on hand for the big Radio Free Charleston night at the LaBelle Theater on December 9. This is going to be a wild night with 90 minutes of the best of RFC, followed by a semi-acoustic jam session featuring guests from previous shows. Check out the flyer:
If you want to download that flyer from the link above, feel free to print tons of them at work and plaster the town with them.
RFC viewers also get their first look at “The Android Family” in this edition of the show. Already a universally-acclaimed cult classic, expect many many more installments of this series of shorts that depict the life of a family of nasty androids as they try to fit in to society.
The host segments this time were shot at the Northgate Business Center, very close to the airport. As astute viewers may be able to ascertain. The shirt is a bootleg shirt with DEVO’s “Freedom Of Choice” album cover on it. My kid sister got it for me for my birthday, and you have to have a pretty cool kid sister if she gets you bootleg DEVO shirts!
We are going to try and mess with the fabric of the universe a bit by delivering our next show in one week! If all goes well, you’ll see episode 31, featuring Doctor Senator, Raymond Wallace, new animation from my brother Frank, and more in just seven days! Host segments will not be shot near an airport.
