Its Not You, Its Me.

Its time for the Erstwhile Intruder to take a break; time for this old bear to retreat to a snowy den to hibernate for the rest of the winter. Except it will be the exact opposite of that. Replace "snowy den" with "sunny beach," and "hibernate" with "enjoy a sunny beach," and you've got a more clear picture.

But fear not listless listeners! There is a truckload of bonus material that will find its way to the website in a gradual "trickle down" like system. I will add and update just as often as I can, breathing continuous life into the EIRProject.  It will be just like old times!

A new poll to keep you satisfied! Vote early and vote often. Also, keep your eye on the Ever-Changing Picture, as it has a tendancy to change... every once in a while.

It's been a God Danged long time!

Have at you! The pricelessly tardy contest edition of the EIRP is here, complete with the full version of Party all the Time! Heck yes, this special edition of the EIRP is resplendent with many other excellent tunes as well, also the first song is an homage to the EIRP days of yore. My hardcore fans will remember.

You can click that crap here to download

or here to streeeeeeaaaam.

I take it back, I fucked something up, and I can't get it to be part of the whole "stream" situation. But anyway, it may be streamed soon, or I may just never bother. What do you care anyway?

Computer access still spotty, but I have several more shows to post up, I will try to do so on a more timely basis this month.

P.S. Free comic book day is Saturday!

EIRP 09 & 10: AMFDBSSTP

The All MF DOOM All B-Side Smashing Two-Parter was almost too much greatness for my meagre computer to handle. It crashed about 4 times and I almost lost the whole thing. But the Erstwhile Intruder prevails, and is pleased to bring you the full, uncut 50 minute version of the show. I may split the AMFDBSSTP in half into their respective parts, 09 & 10, but for now I will leave it to wallow in its glory.


So, do the DOWNLOAD thing

Or, do the STREAMY thing

Just do the damn thing.

EIRP 08: Furious George Guest Edition

Behold, the EIRP:FGGE! Through the magicks of "telephone" I was able to link my friend Furious George into the world of EIRP. Feature a playlist entirely selected by he, and insightful commentary, the EIRP:FGGE could be the best yet. In fact, Furious compells anyone else to create a better playlist than the one he has provided. Post up if you'd like to try. I believe someone out there can do it, Furious does not.

EIRP 07: Cheesy Hot Country Music Wrapped In A Warm And Flakey Dance Party!

The 7th installment of the Erstwhile Intruder Radio Program is alive and well, and available for YOU my friend! Don't be dismayed, daunted by the title of this week's show, it is surely a winner. Though I can't say it is better than the metal show. The metal show will be the EIRP de triumph for a long time to come. Or at least until I do the All MF DOOM All B-Side Smashing Two Parter. Which will be soon, but not so soon before I pull off Furious George's guest show which will be next.

I can't believe it has been 7 episodes already, did you ever dream we'd make it this far baby? 7, we'll always remember 7. My goal is to have 24 EIRP's before I leave for the land of warm milk and cold honey. That will never happen, but I will try.

So enjoy the episode, OH, and check it, the EIRP contest is officially ON.

Download 07!

Stream 07!

Sometimes when you stream it from here it gets cut off. I have no idea why. If you have this problem, you can go to the host site and stream it directly from there. I haven't had any problems with that Hosted HERE on archive.org

Erstwhile Intruder Radio Program Heavy Metal Spectacular

YES! The EIRPHMS is here. The HMS is my favorite EIRP so far, I can't stop listening to it, and its not even because I love the sound of my own voice! The mix of songs on this episode is perfect if the Erstwhile Intruder does say so himself. The Erstwhile Intruder can never decide between writing in first or third person, so I will just arbitrarily switch between the two, he said.

You may have noticed a change in style with the introductory ramblements. This is because, yes, the Erstwhile Intruder has written and read from a script for this episode. I wanted to give each metal band the credit they deserved since I knew I wasn't going to be speaking between songs. But don't worry, next episode will be chock full of akward pauses and senseless metaphors. I model my on-air style after my "podcasting" hero, Cecil "The Duke of Dead Air" Portesque from TMBG.COM

Also, as noted in the intro, Danzig appears, marking the first repeat artist in an EIRP, it could be argued that since the EIRPHMS is a special show, it doesn't technically count, but regardless, consider the floodgates open.

If you don't like Metal, I emplore you to listen to the EIRPHMS anyway, it will make you cool. It is designed so as not to alienate the casual listener, but it is also abrasive enough to satisfy even the most masochistic of ear drums. So, here's the goods:

EIRP 05

The Erstwhile Intruder is whipping through these. The EIRP 05 is an all rock show to compliment last episode's hip-hop show. Good stuff.

Things to come: EI got an all metal show pretty much set to go pretty soon, no words, no nothin, just metal. Also, Furious George has tracked a guest show that will be recorded pretty soon. And thirdly, I have a show coming up that can be described as country music wrapped in a dance party.

Here's the goods:

EIRP 04! New Background Music! Exclaim!

We have an all Hip-Hop show this week on the Erstwhile Intruder Radio Program. Also new background music, that I spent hours making with Reason. It doesn't sound like I spent hours on it, but maybe minutes. This show was recorded a few days ago but I was too lazy to edit it and post it until today. Don't worry the all Hip-Hop show will be countered by an all rock show next time.

Meanwhile, the contest is rolling along, but I want more entries. MORE! Seriously there are so many bad songs out there, you can post 5, or even 6! I even posted one, but no one appreciated that very much. The Killers are the worst band out there. I wish Jack White would beat the shit out of the lead singer, as he has a tendancy to do.

Erstwhile Intruder Radio Program 03

It's a Christmas special! With all Christmas music! The EIRP 03 is money. It is in stereo. And it is ready for you. The Erstwhile Intruder has had a lot of feedback regarding guests on the show. If you don't live in the immediate vicinity of the Erstwhile Intruder, you can still be a guest thanks to the fantastic innovations of: Phone!

The contest, on the other hand, is going slow. Stop being lazy. If you've only posted once, you're lazy. If you post as 'anonymous' you're lazy. If you can't think of at least one choice for "worst song ever recorded," then... I don't know what to do with you.

CONTEST!!!

The Erstwhile Intruder thought of a great idea for a contest.  Everyone should post their suggestion for worst song ever recorded, and after there are enough entries, I will create a poll with the top 5 worst selections, and everyone can vote on the absolute worst.  The runner up and winner will be featured on an upcoming episode of the EIRP.  So I'm running a test poll to figure out how to make poll happen on the website.  Even if the test poll recieves an overwhelming vote of No, I'm still going to make the contest. Jerk.

Ok, So to clarify (for some) click the little "comments" link directly below this post, and write in a tune that makes you fruoown...

The poll will not be posted until I have a ton of comments/entries, so start posting. You may post multiple times, and the winner gets a prize!


EDIT 01/16: Game over losers! All you lame ducks missed out on the nomination process. But its ok, you can make up for your inherent laziness by voting! Up top hombre.

Erstwhile Intruder Radio Program 01

EIRP 01 is here! Finally. These things always seem to take about 3 times longer than I anticipate, but EI got it goin' on. In beautiful STEREO no less! Hence the larger file size. Although not much larger I've noticed, pleasantly. Anyway, here's more of the high quality sound and content you've come to expect from the Erstwhile Intruder. If you want to request something, post a message; or maybe you'd like to appear on the EIRP. Scheduled guests for upcoming EIRP releases included the Junior Intruder, and possibly a phone interview from Analog Edition. Remember, the Erstwhile Intruder loves almost every one of you.

Download the killer VBR mp3


Or, if you like STREAM IT!

EDIT: Some people have had trouble downloading from the former. If you click and can't download, try right click, and 'save target as.' If you still have trouble, let me know.

Erstwhile Intruder Radio Program 02 is here!

After three hours trying to figure this out at work and not getting paid, I finally arrived upon a solution to my problems. Some of them anyway. So here we are with the second installment of the Erstwhile Intruder Radio Program. EIRP for short.

Right now my biggest problem is, I can't transfer the original 30 minute WAV from my work computer to my home computer. If anyone has an FTP site they'd let me use, that would be fantastic. The original WAV is something like 300MB. Also the work computer has a crappy MP3 encoder, so unfortunately the first program is encoded in 96kbps. If I could get the WAV home, I could incode it to any bitrate you fancy. Also, I am aware of the confusing implications of naming the first recorded program, "Program 02," but it will make more sense when you hear the intended "Program 01"

Download VBR mp3

Or stream it

Edit: I re-did this episode today, and now you can download and stream it at better quality, and I added a thing or two.

EI RADIO

The Erstwhile Intruder strives to bring you great music in easy to swallow gel tabs. The first two shows have already been tracked, but not yet recorded. Soon, (hopefully tomorrow), I will have them ready to go for the download. Soon, very soon.
