Thanks a looooot
@New Music Nudge Unit ๐ซ I still need to fix the audio for the previous two episodes... (everything's recorded in parts, mostly from my bed or while walking around the apartment ๐
with just a tiny mic plugged into my phone and a crazy baby in my belly kicking...). How do I find the theme? Hmm. I'm hearing voices in my head like Oliver, the main character of Avi's books ๐ haha. But seriously, yeah, it just comes/happens. Speaking of
@Avi Burra... You know, Aaron/NMNU this whole project is actually thanks to YOU ๐ซต Last year or so, when you were his guest (Plebchain Radio), you said your '2026 wish' was to see a European music podcast. That moment took me straight back to the 90s, & my unusual "hobbies": 8 or 9 years old, building silly playlists with a simple tape recorder, then forcing my family and even teachers to listen to them, share feedback etc. (other kids were not interested in such stuff). Then, from around 11 onward, I moved on to satellite TV and VCRs, using Viva (German music channel) + MTV and private shorts (super primitive camera my dad operated to catch my commentary) to create even more ridiculous playlists - what I called "mu sick programs" ๐ค again, forcing everyone possible to watch, vote on stuff, comment etc. Later, end of sec school & early highschool, I was building playlists for Winamp + burning CDs and selling them among my peers (crime, I know...). So when I heard you talking to Avi and those memories came flooding back, I decided I'd be the one to run that European podcast ๐ But I ended up going beyond just a show, and eventually drafted the whole framework behind Amplified Tunes (website, magazine, music pod, and a few more things coming up once the baby allows...). Looooong message just to say ๐ YOU're the godfather of my work, hehe. THANKS!
