1991. Hiya. Cool Beanz. Welcome to the Official site of the cable show I made with all my college friends. Colin, Larry, Cameron, Tony and Mike as well as Jack Rose, SuperToad and Kerri, Aaron and Mark , Rutherferd B. Hayes, Spam, Jim, Clivana, Johnny O, Kim Thomas and Laina Underhill, Tully and Dawn,, Roger and Missy, 2216 Hanover, Strawberry Street, VCU.3rd Street Diner in Richmond, Dane , .Lowell and Shannon, Melissa, everyone at Radford,; all the great bands like The Bugs, Fred Vegas, Chapter 6, The Ventilators, all Mike's brothers at PSK.., everyone who was sitting around chilling in 1992 on friday afternoons watching channel 31. This was LIVE TV ! It began as a joke. This event precipitated from a whim thought up by me and Doc one night smoking weed and watching 2 dudes on TV playing trivial pursuit. Various idiots provided amusement by calling in to offer advice on how to play.. We went to a meeting on Boulevard across from Hardees where the studio was and they gave us a time slot for our television show. Larry came on board to help us out in the studio. Let me tell you, being in front of the camera on cable television, even on public access was a trip.. Nervous and funny, it sometimes sorta felt like indigestion. Much fun all the same. I will write more soon, so stay tuned. Doxx myself? I'm 50, about to turn a year older, why would I care what I share with a bunch of strangers? Nothing to lose. Maybe lots of funny not terrible content. DamagedGoods fucked around with this message at 14:42 on Dec 6, 2021 |

The_Franz posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDwwZ7H9XpY loving love this clip! I "worked" at the local cable station here but by the time I was there they had "professionalized" it and we only did political round table shows and stuff like that. Lots of call in shows. I had to screen the callers. Basically we would ask for the caller's number and then plug it into some software. If the producer wanted to put the call to air we would call the viewer back and then stack them on hold for air. Very few prankers got through but it happened occasionally unlike poor Diddlee here My cable company (Rogers) was famous for airing Tom Green's first TV show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Onk9lSJ1Gf0

bucksmash posted:I grew up just outside of Seattle, so we had SCAN (Seattle Community Access Network) and we had some of the most notorious shows on public access: lol I remember Political Playhouse, I didn’t watch a lot but the hosts were about what you’d imagine with zero budget or editors. Once for a cannabis show there were the usual hosts plus hilariously clean cut travel guru Rick Steves, who made strong points in favor of legalization. It was funny as he hosts the PBS travel shows beloved by boomer family, but also has good politics and isn’t shy about his image. Oh man that Kurt Cobain show was bizarre. Like how do you make a regular show about one narrow topic?

I’m REALLY dating myself here, but in the mid 70s, Rogers channel 10 in Toronto used to have a program where some guy would play contemporary rock, while the control room guys used every video effect known to man at the time. I like to think of him as the first VJ.

NOW Explosion was the precursor to MTV, with music videos shot in studios and on locations in Dallas, Atlanta, and Ft. Lauderdale, FL. The innovative effects used in the videos were the state of the art in 1970. Many creative effects, though dated in the psychedelic era, are still as vibrant and interesting today as they were when they were originally made. This production of Norman Greenbaum's 'Spirit In the Sky' utilized a technique of a silhouetted dancer layered with video feedback, which was produced by shooting a camera at a video monitor of the dancer and mixing the two. The original 2-inch quad videotape used a mono recording of a 45 RPM record as the source for the music. I have re-synched a clean digital stereo recording of the song with the video and present the result here. The audio is now astounding. No copyright infringement is intended. e: that reminds me, there was an obscure new wave band that took this same name (Now Explosion) and they hung out with baby RuPaul https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLfUK76iErs&t=735s Mr. Fall Down Terror fucked around with this message at 06:43 on Dec 7, 2021 |

We have a local TV channel here, it got locally famous on youtube in Sweden because some guy remixed old archival footage from the 80s and 90s into bizarre sketches and fake subtitles (riffing on the local dialect which is like archaic swedish). It's basically impenetrable unless you can speak swedish and even then. Here's a playlist tho https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3NDHZxWga8
