2010 Radio Ad

    Since our soon-to-be released Episode 121 includes lengthy talk of trying to record this year’s radio ad, consider this a spoiler.

    Recorded at quarter after 7 this morning, off 94.7 WCSX FM.  It’s not the best quality (it’s in mono, for one thing), so hopefully I’ll be able to replace it soon.
    Update: I was able to record a better version on Friday, at around 6:40 AM.  I’ve replaced the above version with the new one, but, for the heck of it, the original can still be heard here.  Incidentally, from the needless information department: the ending of the stereo one got a little clipped, but I was able to “restore” it by blending in the longer ending from the mono one.

Play “Margaritaville”

    Yesterday NBC aired NBC Sports coverage of the Detroit International Auto Show.  At one point the host was demonstrating Sync voice command technology in a Lincoln MKX when he spoke the command, “Play song Margaritaville”, which promptly began playing and remained playing in the background for a little while.  He then went on to demonstrate the new in-console blender technology.  Okay, that part I made up, but it would be cool I think.
